The three point support wing (clover) which a lot of ppl hate, the rounded cut on the top three lace holes, no lion, and the signature on the tongue(it might need time to get use to). I don't have a problem with the 180 air/zoom set up. I need to try on these or the 8 v3 if it hurts my feet or not. The price I am not tripping too much since i might just get GRs and should find them below retail at online retailers.

 

[poise3]

These are growing on me.

 

[mister friendly]

The flywire and the tongue arent attractive on the homes at all.

Nike wants to raise the price on an ugly shoe

[bronle]

Lol it's a shame too because the sketches JP had for these from the official Nike unveiling were dope, someone post them please I'm on iPod

Yeah, the sketch looks pretty good, better than the final product. It's like something went horrible wrong in the factory and this came out,

Nike was like "!#@$ it, :kanye shrug:"

It's gonna be very interesting how the sale of the shoe plays out. Will these really sit, will Nike make a fortune? These could very well blow up in Nike face because they have turn off A LOT of people I notice, even with new colors dropping to satify the hate. I'm sure Nike has mention to JP to get those v2 sketches on our desk by Monday

One thing to remember, as much as we like the 8s, a lot of them sat on shelves. You could still walk into your local footlocker, champs, footaction etc. and see Lebrons chilling, going for retail too. Shiekhs has them on discount though but still, it just goes to show that Lebron seem to only sell when there is a 'limited' tag or exclusive colorway on them.

^as sales go, since these will be on ID I think that's were the sales are going to be. As of now there is only 5 colors releasing for the 9 plus 4 PS edition 9s.
Lebron 9
Home
Away
China
Hurricane
Grey/purple

 

[l knicks fresh knick l]

agreed with the hike in price, not feelin it. but will def scoop for the low low

 

[gottips3]

Lebron 9 template for Nike ID
http://stickie213.com/201...e-lebron-9-id-templates/

Lol the template color actually looks good..hahah

 

[sneakergameinsane]

The design templates for the 9s are up on sole if anybody cares

 

[bronle]

Smh 206 for ID

 

[amdoctor]

whats the big deal about templates? you still cant view the color selections

 

[theprinceofde]

Theres no way the Home's will not hit outlets. The Breds will do decent as well as most of the other CW's but I would rather spend an extra 40 50 bucks to just make my own shoe then let Nike hand me that bag of trash

Look at the sketches..the clover is pointed rather than round..makes it about 10000x better. and the clover material on the IDs look different to the material on the releases

 

[Kobekobe]

get rid of the red flywire on those homes ...

 

[kenji714]

Ew the home look like some cheap Reebok

 

[bronle]

Some of these sketches....

Remind me of the Jordan 11, but without being a 7 rehash...

So dope, what made them change to the Final product smh

Imagine that second sketch on the top row, would have definitely preferred the Carbon Wing/Clover in clunks than in one awkward piece

 

[so wavy]

how would i get those china's am in love with the coloway :')

 

[coolgraymemo]

ehh no thanks.

 

[raidercb5]

The Breds are looking nice IMO, but I agree with the overall concesus that these have no casual appeal to them. If I copp it'll be strictly to ball in...depending on how they feel and the color options on iD this might be my first time considering making my own exclusive. I cant wait to see what these PS Elites are all about tho! $250 for a pair of ballin shoes...what the feezy?!

 

[air freshh 23]

can't wait for ID, im goin innn, just hope for great selection of colorways

I think these are fakes. Obviously someone who made this picture doesn't know a lot about LeBrons. Plus they look different on the first photo... no ugly red Flywire.
