I owned two pairs of these way back 2003. One is the white/black colorway and the other one was the black/white colorway. I was not able to cop this white/red colorway as they were released with limited quantities here in the Philippines. I find these great performers although by today’s sneaker standards they’re a bit on the heavy side. For me performance wise they were great. Even the retro pair I bought back in 2017 was great. I plan to cop this colorway as I was no able to get one back then.
Same here - have such a vivid memory of this. It was my first trip to US. I got these in White White Red swoosh colorway (actually just checked the price and it is going for £850 🤯 in StockX)..anyways absolutely loved this shoe..like you i always wanted in first game and home colorway. Will be coping it soon just for nostalgia reasons.. On a separate note - can you still hoop on them?
Are these true to size? I wear a 10.5 so what size should I get if I order online? I'm 0-2 work buying shoes online and them both being too big even when buying my size.
Good memories when they first came out. I think the design was inspired by the Hummer H2 that was gifted to him by his mom while he was in HA. As a poor student, I couldn’t afford these. I’d like to try to get my hands on these nowadays!
You expected the grip to not perform well? Haha na, I'm biased personally but feel the Mid 2000s, through probably 2013 were some of best overall hoop shoes out (full length cushion, solid support, good materials, durable traction for indoor/outdoor, etc.) I know these were from 03, but if these weren't a solid performer I doubt they would've retroed them haha.
Hey 😃 It’s a Phylon midsole, with a forefoot Zoom unit and an airbag in the heel basically. No difference from the original release I believe and a pretty good setup in the standard of that period.
This colorway was supposed to release on Mar.21 I think. But depending on where you are each retailer might have a different release schedule so dates can vary by a lot.
Kinda a grail for me they have been reduced so I'm in finally. I have limits money wise 145uk is the most I've spent 110 is my limit nowadays so no hype stuff for me, plenty of low heat about for good money. Gorge green (colour not for everyone) decon dunk high pro 80 uk i love those shoes classics 90s terrascapes 145 95 ultras 102 big blazer fan suade only for me
@@TommyLiu4I normally wear a 10 in most shoes. I went 10.5 in nxxt gen do you recommend the same with these? I'm a slightly wide foot with a bunion. Like a little room so no friction
@@TommyLiu4 I know trying on would be best but I haven't seen these. I seen it just dropped on the Nike app. Is there any comparison between them and the Jordan 13? To me those are the most comfortable and that's in a 10
@@myretroworld1121 I see I see, they have the same fit so I think you can safely go with a size 10. But these won’t be as comfy as the 13s, just from my personal experience.
I personally wouldn’t risk it since it’s already on the heavier side, if length or heel slippage becomes an issue that is definitely not good. These are right about average width.
Is this one of the most iconic LeBron’s ever?
Definitelyyy
It is 👌
naw! soldier 10 fr the reverse sweep2016! just iconic tho. . . .performance wise, shitty
Yes
Recently added the Grey colorway to the collection - so happy that they brought these back!

Great video,your one of the best reviewers ,nothing fake about content at all!!! No unnecessary Tik tok, nonsense! Best wishes in 2023!
Thank you! Really appreciate it 🙏🙏
Love it when you do retros!!! Thsnks
I bought purple joint, so clean look great.
Picked them up for casual wear and they finally began to break in around the 30th wear. Thought it was never going to happen.

aesthetically, i was never a fan of earlier lebrons. started liking them from lebron 7s 😅. still only like a few models like 7, 8, 9, 10.

Oh interesting! I didn’t know that. Yup good thing that they brought these classics back, so I got to own my first pair too 😃
Watching from 🇵🇭
THE KING IS BACK👍💪👑
I just got a pair this afternoon.
Gonna hoop in them on Monday.
Looking forward to it.
Nice 👍👍

🔥🔥
Beautiful shoes!!!
I just want these , the Kobe 1 and the KD 12 once I get those three my sneaker addiction might finally meet its end
Nice vid as usual. Keep it up
Thank you! 🙏🙏

Lebron 10s look the best
Hey Tommy what’s the cushion set up? You didn’t mention it
Hey 😃 It’s a Phylon midsole, with a forefoot Zoom unit and an airbag in the heel basically. No difference from the original release I believe and a pretty good setup in the standard of that period.
Where do you get this
When are these releasing? I can’t find them on the Nike website anywhere
This colorway was supposed to release on Mar.21 I think. But depending on where you are each retailer might have a different release schedule so dates can vary by a lot.
Damn. Dope.🔥🔥🔥
Nice 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
👍🏻
Are they comfortable as the Lebron 3?
Oh I never had a pair of LeBron 3’s, not sure sorry.
What’s up Tommy can we get a vid of your top 5 or 10 fav hoop shoes of all-time
Sup! I’ll keep that in mind, thanks 🙏😃
Genuine leather upper or substitute?
I'm starting to fear these won't come out in Europe at all.
Lebrooon Jamess

Wish it was full length zoom strobe or turbo
Pls do the review of Adidas own the game 2.0
I feel like the Lebron nxt run pretty snug.. did you get the same size on those as you did on these?
I went half size up in the LeBron NXXT Gen.

Does it need to size up for wide foot?
I personally wouldn’t risk it since it’s already on the heavier side, if length or heel slippage becomes an issue that is definitely not good. These are right about average width.
So going true to size is best in my opinion.
lol “mini tank” these were designed after the Hummer H2
I didn't know the harden 7s were 500g ☠️
Would add a whole kilo to your weight
I'm defo no buying em
kd 14 weighs the same
Yeah same with the Harden Vol. 6, but on feet they’re okay, pretty agile for that number on the scale 😂
early
🙌
Look so heavy
They’re actually lighter than most of the other Lebrons haha
Not heavy. It’s light weight
Lost some weight bro?
Nah I wish I did man 😂😂
@@TommyLiu4 your legs looked slimmer, dude. Keep up the good work. Have a blessed day.
A blind guess from your Chinese accent, are you from 天津卫？
