Nike Postpones Official Launch Date of LeBron 12 Release Due to Cosmetic Issue

After a polarizing start to the newly unveiled Nike LeBron 12, word straight from Nike PR Director Heidi Burgett mentions that a production issue has resulted in the delay of the shoe’s release. The “small cosmetic issue” means that the original October 11 global launch date will be pushed back with concrete release dates to come once the problems have been rectified.

Due to a small cosmetic issue w/ some of the LEBRON 12s, we have delayed the initial retail launch. New launch dates to come.
