Yesterday, Nike and LeBron James unveiled the LeBron 12. Like past models, the shoe will feature Nike’s Air Zoom but the shoe will partition five visible hexagonal individual “air bags” in the sole of the shoe to give the wearer better response and support. Hence, these oddly candy colored shapes on the bottom of the sneaker:

The LeBron 12 releases in its first colorway globally on October 12th. The one thing that won’t change going from the LeBron 11 to the LeBron 12 is the price. The sneaker will cost $200.

Check out the release dates for the first round of LeBron 12s below.

LeBron 12 NSRL

Released globally on October 11, 2014

The sort of amusing thing about the first colorway is that it seems more geared for Miami than it does Cleveland.

LeBron 12 Heart of a Lion

Releases October 30, 2014

The King gets a sneaker inspired by the king of the jungle (and at least this one sort of goes with the Cavs uniform).

LeBron 12 Dunk Force

Releases November 11, 2014

It wouldn’t be a signature LeBron shoe without the signature “Dunk” colorway of silver and volt.

LeBron 12 Instinct

Releases November 22, 2014

This is going to be known as the “Suns” colorway, book it.

LeBron 12 Six Meridians

Releases November 29, 2014

The very first shoe that seems designed to induce motion sickness.

LeBron 12 Trillion Dollar Man

Releases December 1, 2014

Like the Six Meridians, very eye catching but not for the right reasons.

LeBron 12 Data

Releases December 20, 2014

Oh look, the first sure-fire hit colorway arrives just in time for the holidays. What a shocker.
