And some places last year did get some China 8s with the stone lion features, though in very limited numbers.
Im the same way, my point though is, the packaging in some cases make the shoe complete, I understand making somethings limited but dont make limited A then limited B, hope that makes sense.

They stole the Raptor one already so they can't change it to Megatrons or did/will they?

Yeah I feel you on that. At the end of the day though, I still just want my shoes, box be damned. I know guys that keep their stuff DS and are more of a "collector" probably feel differently though.Originally Posted by BDiddy42

Why does nike have to be so stingy with pics of upcoming colorways?

These Cherry & Purple 9s are actually called Miami Nights.

^I knew I remember someone saying there was a 9 coming out that was officially nicknamed the "Miami Nights". Wonder if people will actually start referring to those 8 V2 Lows by that official "Flamingo" nickname now.

Those are not "Miami Nights" and neither were the Lebron 8 Low "Flamingos"....
Miami nights were never made past a couple of Samples...
Oh yeah...
10/25 US release for China

i like the china colorway. i would never wear the china shirt and the box is useless so im fine with paying retail for a pair of chinas without the special box and shirt. the chinas without the special box will be just as limited as the ones with the special box, the only thing that is exclusive is the box and shirt, the shoes are exactly the same.

Where did you get 10/25 from? Source? Wonder if they got that date confused with just the Black/Red colorway dropping that day. Seems kinda weird to do 2 colorways in one day, but it's not unheard of.

are people really doubting that the chinas 9's will release in the states. china 8's released in the states and remember the kobe 6 chinas, 300 pairs released in china with the special box and then they dropped in the states in large quantities, not gr quantities but large quantities. the U.S. will def see the china 9's, just probaly without the special box and shirt. i expect them to sell way better than the china 8's did because of the great colorway, just sucks that we couldnt get an hwc colorway on the 7's or 8's that released to the public. go ahead and pre order now if your really that worried but i will wait to cop my 2 sz 11's at retail from my hoh connect.

^Just better to get some confirmation from a few reliable sources, even though I agree with you that I think they have a decent chance of a US release if we go by recent China "exclusives". Just that after what happened with the Miami Nights/Flamingos release and people being wrong about there being a wider release, like the South Beaches, it's tough to know how good of an indicator previous releases are anymore of how new releases will go.
And as far as previous China Lebrons releases go, I know the VIIs and 8s were HOH exclusives so they weren't hard to get, but I remember the earlier Chinas were more exclusive. Like the China IIIs I definitely remember were limited to 1000 pairs and Asia only, and I think the IVs and Vs were pretty limited too. Correct me if I'm wrong though.
