LeBron James Shoes Release Date, Price & Where to Buy: LeBron 12 'Dunk Force' Out Nov. 11
If you want a pair of LeBron James' new wolf grey shoes, you'd better collect $200 ASAP and head to the stores Tuesday.
LeBron 12's Dunk Force will be in stores Nov. 11, 2014, and available on Nike.com 8:00 a.m. EST (5 a.m. PST), complete with kids sizes priced at $160. However, orders through the website will be at one per customer, and phone orders will not be accepted.
The shoes will also be available in select Nike retailers worldwide on Nov. 11, said Jobs & Hire. This is after the release date was moved due to cosmetic issues, per Latin Post.
According to the website, the interesting colorway — Wolf Grey/Reflect Silver-Black-Electric Green — "is inspired by the power of James' statement tomahawk dunk and equated to the speed and force of a helicopter rotor blade."
The shoes were built to address the Cleveland Cavalier's "extraordinary" skill set of strength, speed, vision and efficiency, the site added. It boasts natural flexibility, superior cushioning and harnessed support, it explained.
The shoes are predominantly grey, with a grey-based upper layered with hints of black and eye-catching green. They are finished off with a blue translucent outsole, which has an icy apperance.
Other colorways will be released before the end of this year, Jobs & Hire said. "Instinct" — Cave Purple/Hyper Grape-Hyper Crimson-Hyper Turquoise — will be out on Nov. 22. On Nov. 29, the "Six Meridian" — Hyper Crimson/Volt-Metallic Cool Grey-Hyper Cobalt — will be available.
In December, the LeBron brand will release three more colorways. "NSRL" comes out Dec. 1, in Hyper Turquoise/Black-Metallic Cool Grey-Hyper Crimson. "Data" comes out Dec. 20, in Black/Bright Mango-Hyper Punch-Volt. Before the New Year, on Dec. 30, the "Trillion Dollar Man" — Reflective Blue/TT-Electric Green-Metallic Silver — will be in stores.
"NSRL" was supposed to be out Oct. 1 in China and Oct. 11 globally, the first colorway to hit the market, Latin Post said. Nike, however, decided to delay its release, explaining that the quality of their products comes first.
That was as far as the explanation got, the report said, noting that the footwear company did not release detailed information about the issue. However, ESPN Go said that the delay had to do with James' decision to transfer from the Miami Heat to the Cavs and change his jersey number from 6 to 23.
The "Dunk Force" is available the same time as the limited-edition Nike Chuck Posite QS iD, which modernizes the 1997 Nike Air Foamposite One and channels Charles Barkley, per Nike.com.
The new edition, priced at $270 a pair, is full-blown modern in appeal, with a metallic upper, appearing like an exoskeleton. According to Jobs & Hire, the black hints are based on the buyer's liking.
"Customize your upper with metallic colors, reflective accents or a crocodile-inspired graphic, and add a glow-in-the-dark outsole and lace to turn heads at night. For even more pop, splatter your shoe with paint speckles in the color of your choice — solid or glow-in-the-dark," the Nike website said.
