Nike Release Dates 2015: LeBron 12 EXT ‘Cork’ & ‘Red Paisley’ Leaked on Instagram?
Fans of LeBron James's 12th signature shoe collaboration with Nike will be released in new colorways soon. Two upcoming designs have been leaked on Instagram, which sports unique looks for the sneaker.
A sneak peek of the design dubbed "Red Paisley" first appeared on Instagram. User Jacob Alexander Young posted three photos of the said sneaker on Wednesday. The caption on the photo simply said, "New Lebron 12 Ext."
The images showed a sneaker with a red and black combination with the red upper using a material with embossed markings that gives off a sense luxury to the shoe. Nice Kicks described the red material as "terry cloth inspired," while its pattern looked very much like paisley prints. Gold accents and prints add a touch of lushness to the look.
The black Hyperposite construction of the shoe, along with a translucent outsole, balance the richness of the upper material and design with a sporty touch, indicating that the shoe can be used on the hardcourt despite being listed as a lifestyle sneaker.
Meanwhile, another LeBron 12 has been spotted and worn reportedly by none other than the Cleveland Cavaliers superstar himself.
On the same day, Kicks Envy.co uploaded a photo of another yellow-colored LeBron 12 sneaker on Instagram. The photo, which showed the sneaker worn by an unseen person, was captioned: "First look at @kingjames rocking the LBJ12 Cork, hopefully we can get a better quality pic in."

The image, which has poor resolution, showed a sneaker with a simple yellow and black combination. The yellow part is supposedly the "Cork" part of the shoe, which the Instagram user hinted at.
The new LeBron 12 EXT comes with a cork material on its Hyperfuse upper, while a black Hyperposite construction provides a toned down effect on the sneaker combined with gold accents.
Kick on Fire noted that cork materials were previously used for LeBron James' signature shoe. Nike also came out with a cork design for the LeBron 10, which was made to honor James' first NBA title.
Nike has yet to officially announce official release date and details about these two leaked models. However, another report from Kicks on Fire indicated that the LeBron 12 EXT "Cork" will be available for $250 per pair.
