Even though we're still waiting on an official unveiling of the LeBron 12 from Nike, that hasn't kept multiple pictures and colorways of the upcoming signature for King James from popping up all over the place. Yesterday, we saw detailed images of the "Lion Heart" colorway, which could be a go to for LeBron during the season with it's Cav's color scheme, and today we get our first look at the next colorway set to drop, the LeBron 12 "Instinct".

The LeBron 12 "Instinct" features a black composite mesh upper, with what appears to be an almost eggplant looking overlay for the posite area. The shoe also comes with purple detailing, crimson accents, and is set atop a icy outsole that utilizes the same multicolor pod system that other LeBron 12 colorways have used so far. The sneaker gives off almost a Phoenix Suns vibe so keep an eye out for possibly Eric Bledsoe to lace these up as he's been given the "Mini-LeBron" nickname. Nike continues the storytelling aspect for the name of the sneakers, much like they did with Kevin Durant's first five shoes from the KD VII line, and gave this the name "Instinct" due to LeBron's uncanny ability to see the play before it happens on the floor.

Let us know what you think of the LeBron 12 "Instinct" and keep it locked for all future information and release dates as they evetually surface from Nike as the season draws near.
