Ok Rod, we know already. You don't like them, you not buying. You own the teal & pink 8s but the grey, teal & pink 9s are soft. Blah, blah, blah.......
Damn, you Fam & all but you'll #%&@ up a wet dream.

I'm going to keep the purple laces in. Just put the other laces in for the people who asked about extra laces and wish they came with extra laces and if someone could do a lace swap. I had a pair of laces and put them in for those who asked. Not trying to over match them. I agree simple is best with these. Would hate to walk around all
I had a polo tee for about a month now but when I finally got the shoes it looked a little OD.
It looked cool but I thought the shirt and shoes together might be to much. I'll keep the shirt because it's nice but will stick to wearing it casually.

Them are cool/nice, but the summits are my last 9s. But those teal laces just made me think about what people been saying on how they kind of look girly. IDK they do but the purple laces are just as good.

I was with you until you said the dunk man 8 were a swing and miss. More like a home run, now the dunk man 9s are like a bunt or a ground ball. These shoes have the same color element as the white yezzy 2 thats why i kind of like it but its missing something. I don't know if its all that grey and not enough white but something is missing to make that shoe the %#$.Originally Posted by Mister Friendly
The Lebron 9 South Beach elites are garbage. These are like the Dunkman 8 PS, they have all the elements of the good colorway but they swug and missed. The Lebron 8 South beach take a dump all over the Lebron 9 Elites
Or
Its no contest. The Big Bangs are the it colorway on the Lebron 9

That's crazy. Double retail already? I'm going to wait to see the final pictures but I think the "Mcfly" are one of the best 9's out.Originally Posted by ncflightclub23

Sly you saying the Lebron 8 PS dunkman craps were better the. The dunkman 9? The same tin foil dunkman that are still sitting in outlets? I agree with you on a lot of things but using your baseball analogy that's like swinging at 3 balls and striking out. Those dunkman 8's IMO was the worst cw next to the all blue PS/V3 cw's to come out. Actually that might be the worst cw in Amy model of the 8's.

that's what I meant. the basket weave material rubs against the bone on the inside. I might have to tape up my ankles when i play.Originally Posted by ArmorRig
Only issue I have when I laced them up and tight is the inside of the ears hurting both side of the bone near my ankles. Only tried walking around in the house but it's been unbearable so far even with longer socks, but not as bad without. Might need to wrap that area to have extra padding for the bones.Originally Posted by BigBrandon
The mesh on the outside? Like it rubs the other leg or ankle? I've hooped pretty much exclusively in these besides a few games in the kobe 7 cheetah (play fast cool play stronghorrible) but haven't had this problem at all. The first game I played in my Breds my big toe on my right foot felt like it was rubbing tough but never again. I've been playing in my CG's since I got them and it's butter. Other then that big toe issue the one time I haven't had any problems.
Last few shoes in hooped in for reference
Hyperdunk
Kobe 7
Lebron 9
Jordan 6-17-23
Someone mentioned that it will get better once you break them in. But gotta go through the pain first.

What's funny is.....
When the SB 8s pictures first surfaced, there were a lot of naysayers to that colorway too. Even after cats started posting on feet pics from Miami since they got the shoe a month earlier....you still had many SB bashers. Many loved the colorway but some still weren't sold on them.
Seems like resell prices done converted all those that didn't initially like the shoe. It's whatever cause I luv the 9s & these SB Elites. I'm calling them that cause that's what they are....the South Beach Elites. What ya'll thought those colorways would never be used again? As long as Lebron is playing for the Heat, you may see a South Beach colorway with every model. Word to Crocket & Tubbs!!!!
Btw....the sole on the South Beach Elites are beyond dope!!!

You know I hate the generalizations that come from people when they say "same people saying they're ugly will be in line come RD" because that's not always the case. It's like people can't have opinions or not buy everything anymore, we've grown to a point where we're judged on whether or not we get the pairs available whether they're liked or not, all because they're a sought after color or style...
Funny how that happens. Anyway carry on, back to reading I go until the SLH release

1. I agree that the teal/pink does make it look like a GS shoe
2. That POLO is def nice, not overkill at all. A polo can ONLY enhance an outfit, it's scientific fact
3. Those teal laces need to happen; I'm going to ask if you could provide the length and where you got them from? Thanks

Yeah I like the polo But I dunno. I'm going to keep it but don't think I'll wear them together... Also I got those laces a lil while ago. Let me check my emails for a ship conf from where I got them but they are a 54". I wear an 11. You wear a 7 or 6.5 right so I'm not sure if the laces are the same size
My wife said it looks nice but

Feeling all of the Elites with the exception of the McFlys/ SBs or whatever you want to call them.
