As huge fans of the LeBron 11 (or LeBron XI, if you want to go for the Roman numerals instead) the NIKE LEBRON 12 NSRL is definitely of interest to us here at The Drop Date. Although a couple of us have been known to pick up the basketball every now and then, the appeal of the LeBron series reaches beyond the pure performance category. As a designed object, the past few models in the series have been difficult to resist, even if they’re not ideal for jogging down to Sainsbury’s in.

The LeBron 11 concluded its reign of terror with the wildly-popular ‘What The LeBron’ release recently, following months or rumours and discussions on when they would actually drop. Part of the hype was definitely to do with other ‘What The’ releases (see the ‘What The Dunk’ SB release for a quick history lesson along those lines), but for all the buyers caught up in the hype, there were definitely a few people who just liked the shoe too.

The Nike LeBron 12 was given an all-star reception when it was unveiled last week in Portland, with all your favourite bloggers and journalists being given five star treatment at the launch event. The shoe itself was no disappointment, with a full redesign incorporating several new pieces of Nike technology into the process. A Hex Zoom Air sole unit features six pockets of Nike Air, finely tuned for maximum shock absorption, whilst the Megafuse construction on the uppers cuts down on layers (and, consequently, weight) with a synthetic inner boot that molds to the wearer’s foot over time.

There were seven different colourways shown at the launch event, but this first release is called the Nike LeBron NSRL, paying homage to the Nike Sports Research Lab where it was developed. In the words of Nike’s colour lead, Eugene Rogers, the NSRL is inspired by, “looking at different lab inspirations like stainless grey, or the turquoise when you think about beakers and the liquids inside them, and the hot neon orange, which makes you think of ‘Do Not Enter’ signs.” And our verdict? It’s a great piece of footwear that will undeniably perform as well as it looks.

The NIKE LEBRON 12 NSRL comes in an eye-tingling hyper turquoise/black/metallic cool grey/hyper crimson colourway and launches on SATURDAY 11TH OCTOBER. Keep your eye on The Drop Date for the full stockist info ahead of the release…
