Official: Revised Lebron IX Thread. MVP's revealed! MV's WILL have toddler sizes! 6/2

[brilliant]

Full LeBron 9 shots are out......

Nike LeBron 9 – 15 Detailed Photos

LeBron 9: fully exposed.

Here it is. The highly anticipated, complete detailed view of LeBron James’ next signature shoe, the Nike LeBron 9.

CounterKicks originally gave you the first exclusive looks at the Jason Petrie-designed shoe (Nike LeBron 9 and Nike LeBron 9 New Images) flush with all the much talked about tech details: Hyperfuse construction, Nike Flywire support, carbon fiber textile reinforcement, Nike Pro Combat interior padding. Now you also get a clean look at the bottom of the LeBron 9, configuring a 180 Max Air heel with Zoom Air forefoot, all topped off with a layer of Cushlon foam.

Nike LeBron 9 launches this fall with a $165 retail price point.

LeBron IX (9)

any colorway ideas?

 

[bossplaya0625]

Not bad, Id cop with the right colorway

I think it would look much better with a smaller lateral swoosh, moved to the ankle.

Look at the pic when the bottoms are held up next to each other, it forms a ring.  i think that's what he's pointing at

Saw this on the other site
Black/Black-Anthracite - 11/23 
Black/White-Sport Red - 10/25 
White/Sport Red - 11/4 
Cannon/Volt-Total Orange - 11/11 
Cool Grey/Grape-Black-Cherry - 11/4

There's a lot you can do with these color blocking wise. Much more than the 8 or a typical hyperfuse shoe. We'll see what they come up with.

Not saying I disagree, but it would look way too similar to the 8 if they did that.  They set the bar really, really high with the 8's and it would come off as lame if the design looked too similar.

Not a fan of the Breds, but the colorways are what make Brons.  Holding off judgement until I see some more schemes.

 

[scottiepimpin33]

no look pass

 

[rod301]

Not As Bad As I Expected... Make A SB LB9 An I Bet Everyone Would Go Wild For Them... Smh. I Wanna See More Colorways. So Far Theyre Alrite Tho.

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

just as i thought, they look cheap as hell.

 

[leftykb8]

I like em'...not as good as the 7 or 8...but I think its a good shoe.

 

[toma630]

I wouldn't pay more then $110 for those

 

[datboi81]

colorways are going to be the only thing to save this shoe...

 

[pokeyneil30]

is it just me or do they look like boxing shoes

I think there pretty nice. Some good colorways could set it off. I think they are terribly over priced though considering they seem to be hyperfuses with 180 air. I'll sacrifice that for $65.

WHAT!?
No comparing v3 to them but....

bro, these 9s are FIREEE

if they on nike ID im goin IN.

 

[stc153393]

I wasnt a fan of the first pictures of the 8s when i saw them but i eventually came around because of the CG and SB colorways

But these are awful, way too much going on. I heard Tinker once say that he didnt like working with Bron cuz him and his entourage all had different ideas and wanted to have so much in one shoe. Now i see thats true.

They are gonna need a colorway better than the SBs to save these

 

[iheartboost]

Meh, not feeling it at all.

Hopefully Nike keeps the 8 line alive but releasing dubious amounts of colorways.

Yeah... I think I'm just a bit bothered that the upper looks a lot like the Hyperfuse.

As far as swoosh size and placement, I was thinking more of the Shox VC III.

 

[oathlok]

they look decent as of now, pretty sure theyll look better in some better colorways but just seems like thiers just way too much going on and takes away from the silhouette, theyll probably be beast on the court and as of now the 8's still take it for me even over the 7's
