Nike will make a lot of noise this weekend as several excellent-looking sneakers are set to hit the market, including the highly anticipated edition of LeBron James' latest signature sneaker.
The LeBron 12 "NSRL" will finally hit the market after its release was cancelled in October due to cosmetic issues. This edition, which is listed as the Hyper Turquoise/Black-Metallic Cool Grey-Hyper Crimson colorway of the shoe, will hit shelves on Friday, Nov. 28, in select Nike stores worldwide.
The sneaker features a turquoise-based upper part combined with metallic hints on the heel area and finished off with a translucent blue outsole, which has hexagonally-shaped Nike Zoom Air bags to provide accelerated explosiveness and superb traction.
This edition was reportedly named after Nike's Sport Research Lab, which provides in-depth information to create well-suitable shoes for specific types of athletes.
"The LeBron 12 was born in the lab, where scientific data and analysis substantiated the need for next-generation cushioning, support and flexibility," Nike wrote in a statement. "This science-led insight was maximized for James while accounting for the diverse needs of athletes worldwide."
The LeBron 12 "NSRL" will be available for $200 per pair for men's sizes and $160 for gradeschool sizes. More photos of the shoe are available on this link.
Nike will also release the LeBron 12 "Six Meridians" on Saturday, Nov. 29, with retail price set at $200 for men's sizes and $160 for gradeschool sizes.
This edition, which is listed as the Hyper Crimson/Volt-Metallic Cool Grey-Hyper Cobalt colorway of the shoe, was inspired by reflexology, an ancient Chinese practice, which is a part of James' training regimen.

Aside from the two LeBron 12 sneakers, Nike is also expected to make waves with the new colorway of the Air Jordan 6 Retro, which is considered as one of the most popular retro shoes from Jordan Brand.
The Air Jordan 6 Retro will be released in "Black Friday" edition on Friday. This retro shoe, which is listed as the Black/Infrared23-Black, is Michael Jordan's first championship shoe.
The Air Jordan 6 Retro "Black Friday" will be available for $185 for men's sizes. Nike will also release it in gradeschool sizes for $130, preschool sizes for $80 and toddler sizes for $60 per pair. More photos of the shoe can be seen here.
