I hope these are Power Maxes for the Lebron 9
They can't go from the classic designs of the 7 and 8 v1 to this garbage. Literally look like they're KD3's mixed with Hyperdunks

In reality it seems like a $15 mark up from the 8PS to these. Hyperfuse+180+Zoom in the 8PS as well and they were $150.
However, I'm actually liking what I see so far. Looking forward to images or a video showing the whole shoe.

He said nipple, lolol.
Thanks for the pics. Patiently waiting for more. A price increase > more of these going on sale and to the outlets.

This.
From the pics above, looks like the last KDs + Hyperfuse combined or something.

I'm not gonna make any real judgement on these til I see the whole shoe and the colorways. Seems like it'll have a hyperfuse type of shape to the upper from the teaser pics though, not sure how I feel about it.

All this negativity makes me laugh. Every time people see a new nike sneaker they just hate so hard. I remember people saying how the OG hyperdunks were terrible since they were 'plastic' and 'looked too jetsons', or that ZKIVs were terrible since they're low-tops, or the LeBron 8 V1s since they were different looking and a little bulkier than the 7. JUST STOP NOW BECAUSE YOU KNOW COME OCTOBER YOU'RE GONNA SHOVE OUT THE 165 (possibly plus tax) FOR THESE AND YOU'RE GONNA SAY HOW 'DOPE' THEY ARE.

Just like I said in the last thread. You put these next to the Hyperballer or another 2011 Nike BBall release, you'd be hard pressed to find the LeBron IX.
the Petrie %*% kissing that already has begun.

The thing about additions like the new padding is,
Pro Combat padding is just... regular padding.
Sure they're going to feed you a bunch of sales bs about how it's 'lighter' or 'more dense', or 'the shape is beneficial', but none of it is true.
It's just a section of the shoe that's made to look like the pads on the vis shorts and that's going to be one of the things they base the price increase on.

But the Hyperdunks ARE ugly.
I don't think the toe box could save the ugliness of the upper.
And to the one dude who said they're for basketball, so they don't have to be casual; there's a reason that people weren't messing with the Lebrons hardcore until the South Beaches.
Alot of Retro Jordans managed to be good for basketball and casual appeal.
Hopefully when I see full pics of the shoe, my mind will change and I'll grow to love it
