Scarfaces were a waste of production time & factory labor. That's the ONLY nasty colorway of the Lebron 9s. I won't be copping Blackouts either only because I don't need that colorway. I'll pick up OSUs & BREDS down the line to wrap my collection up with 16 of 18.
But Scarfaces?! They shouldn't even disrespect Al Pacino by naming such a wack colorway the Scarfaces.

What part is yellowing or will be yellowing? These don't have any translucent sole or anything so not sure why you would think they would yellow.

Noone named the homes Scarface. The freegums were inspired by Scarface because of the Miami ties and people got the homes and the freegums mixed up when the early pictures were coming out. People didn't know they were two separate releases and once the freegums got that name to stick, people stuck the homes with Scarface. They have absolutely no business being called that and there was absolutely no intention of Nike for them to be. Blame all these so called news websites that get blurry pictures and like to speculate and make up names. Nike didn't even start assigning names to shoes at all until this year but we've had a "nickname" for every shoe that has ever come out. Examples are the kobe grinch and miami night low from last year. Its been said by nike that the Miami night theme was always only intended for the 9 colorway and that the christmas Kobe 6 was designed after the green mamba snake (which it actually looks just like) and they had no intention for it to be the grinch. Nicknames have gone too far and need to stop.

Close to mines.....just switch Bangs/Chinas & swap out XMas for Miami Nights at 5.
All list vary but the consensus top 4 should no doubt be BANGS, CHINAS, SLHs & CANNONS.

I have to agree that Big Bangs are the best. the colorway is just so loud and intense and much more thought went into the details than any other colorway. I mean...the STRONG 3M, subtle 3m sparks in the upper and 3m logo on the laces, glow in the dark sole and heel tab tips, galaxy print insole and liner, and Meteorite patch on the tongue. Out of all the colorways for the 9s, I see this being the most desired..especially when summer comes.

Dead on with your statement. Especially the part about those 8 lows not being Miami Nights. JP even stated this but resellers can demand more money for those 8 lows by calling them Miami Nights. I always wondered why the homes were called Scarfaces because I couldn't see what that colorway had to do with the movie.....besides Lebron playing in Miami.
