You can already bank on a select number of Nike LeBron 9 colorways to be made (although whether or not a release happens is still questionable). South Beach, HWC, and Cool Grey are just a few of the notable color-combos that some adept photoshoppers have applied to the upcoming Nike LeBron 9, and after viewing these possible release, the LeBron 9 is looking rather sharp! There are some newer versions, like the University of Kentucky PE (since Kentucky will be outfitted by the Nike LeBron signature line for the coming season). There’s a ton of possibilities that have been visualized through these renderings, so check ‘em out below and let us know what your favorite LeBron 9 photoshopped colorway is! via NT.

so ugly
July 16th, 2011 at 9:10 pm
IIt's just tooo hightopfor me its like the rt1 (?)
July 16th, 2011 at 9:23 pm
the lebron 7s and 8s are both nice sneakers, but i'm not feeling these 9s
July 16th, 2011 at 9:25 pm
Thes are nasty as fuck
July 16th, 2011 at 9:29 pm
no color way can help this shoe
July 16th, 2011 at 9:36 pm
how did I know a south beach cw was coming?
July 16th, 2011 at 9:38 pm
Even the Photoshopped colorways look bad. Nothing can save this shoe. Jason Petrie takes a huge L with the 9.
July 16th, 2011 at 9:42 pm
hardwood classic/knicks colorway and the grey and baby blue ones are niicee!
July 16th, 2011 at 9:43 pm
I really hope they dont do another South Beach colorway this year. It will cheapen the classicness of the first one. They should go in a different direction. Love the HWC versions both the Orange and Blue.
July 16th, 2011 at 9:45 pm
they didnt stay true to the line and it completely killed the line
July 16th, 2011 at 9:46 pm
Thought seeing this shoe with a better colorway would help. The colorways are cool. But its still a wack shoe.
July 16th, 2011 at 9:48 pm
the 3rd south beach is the best
July 16th, 2011 at 9:50 pm
As I said before colorways cant save this shoe
July 16th, 2011 at 9:51 pm
they was all decent except the south beach's
July 16th, 2011 at 9:57 pm
1st
July 16th, 2011 at 10:05 pm
These look like they would be really awkward on someone's feet. And they'd probably run mad large.
July 16th, 2011 at 10:06 pm
Third Miami vice colorway is raunchy.
July 16th, 2011 at 10:23 pm
theres hope in the 9
July 16th, 2011 at 10:27 pm
Not feelin em' i like the 8s more..
July 16th, 2011 at 10:40 pm
Good shit still looks ugly to me
July 16th, 2011 at 10:43 pm
It dont matter what damn color way you can put into these shoes THEY STILL UGLY! Jesus cant help these sneaker.
July 16th, 2011 at 10:44 pm
What's that you say? Oooohhhh..so you DO like the LB IX now? Ooohhh so you never said you the shoe was wack?
Those 97% who said the shoe was wack are feeling s-a-l-t-y. Lol.
July 16th, 2011 at 10:58 pm
That Knicks cw looks fresh.
July 16th, 2011 at 10:59 pm
South beach with black swoosh = ssssick! Cool grey = sssick! Blue hardwood = ssssick! Who can hate on these now?
July 16th, 2011 at 11:12 pm
The design is still a no-go for me, but I gotta admit that some of the colorways kinda complement it pretty well. For me, it was especially the South Beach, Kentuckys, the Cool Greys, & the SVSM's on the last page.
July 16th, 2011 at 11:13 pm
Jays are dead. Ha! Not with this ugly shoe.
July 16th, 2011 at 11:16 pm
the new season for the no 4th quarter shoe,no ring shoe and a choker shoe.new season,new shoe, same result.
July 16th, 2011 at 11:17 pm
Hope they do a suede upper SVSM and CTK.
July 16th, 2011 at 11:21 pm
still a no for me, it's not the color thats a problem it's the shape n design that to me is the opposite of pleasing to the eye
July 16th, 2011 at 11:21 pm
Epic fail they look ugly they look like they got bunny ears on the sides
July 16th, 2011 at 11:24 pm
The 3rd south beach colorway looks the best out of all of them if you ask me just my opinion. The performance on these is going to be incredible.
July 16th, 2011 at 11:31 pm
Lipstick on a pig, no Palin.
July 16th, 2011 at 11:34 pm
LeBron 8 > LeBron 9
July 16th, 2011 at 11:36 pm
STOP WITH THE "SOUTH BEACH" ALREADY!! All you hypebeast killed that colorway……let it rest in peace!
July 16th, 2011 at 11:43 pm
the shoe sucks so hard no cw will help it.
July 16th, 2011 at 11:54 pm
not gonna lie all of the south beaches are fuckin swag
July 17th, 2011 at 12:03 am
Loooove ya unique colorwayz, but da shoe itself is dull & has declined in style compared to da 7 & 8s.. Look too much like da PE8's… So wat are da PE 9's gonna look like.
July 17th, 2011 at 12:05 am
da cool grey & SVSM colorways are da best
July 17th, 2011 at 12:16 am
these are so f***** up
July 17th, 2011 at 12:29 am
Hypebeast are 'bout to hop back on the pre-heat bandwagon .
July 17th, 2011 at 12:46 am
they needed to make a shoe as ugly as his 4th quarters
July 17th, 2011 at 12:49 am
The 9's to me look like your standard nike-issued shoe for NBA non-superstar players (i.e. Deshawn Stevenson, Caron Butler, Turiaf, Mo Williams, Lamar Odom, etc.). Then again, LeBron's no superstar.
July 17th, 2011 at 12:57 am
South beach cw should have started/stopped with the 8's
July 17th, 2011 at 1:06 am
I dig the red/black ones on the last page. i wouldn't buy them but I think it's the best colorway. Nice effort man…just a s@#t template to start from!!!
July 17th, 2011 at 1:12 am
the no flywire part makes the shoe look like shit. no lebrons for me this year
July 17th, 2011 at 1:17 am
so much better than the kobe 7
July 17th, 2011 at 1:22 am
the only chance these shoes have is in low top form. lose half that carbon panel and do it up in hurricane colors and maybe ill copp…..
July 17th, 2011 at 1:23 am
That shit isn't classic
July 17th, 2011 at 1:26 am
No they aren't. These are wack. They look just like any other Nike basketball shoe. If they weren't LeBrons and were Yao Ming's or something, you would say they were trash too.
July 17th, 2011 at 1:28 am
#KillYourSelf
July 17th, 2011 at 1:34 am
i actually like them alot better than the 1st look
July 17th, 2011 at 2:05 am
cant polish a turd lol
July 17th, 2011 at 2:07 am
The entire line bro? Get outta here.
July 17th, 2011 at 2:40 am
You reading the comments bruh? Everyone still thinks they look like shit.
July 17th, 2011 at 3:37 am
These are all gonna be fakes soon
July 17th, 2011 at 3:41 am
i find it ridiculous how majority of the people badgering the lbj9's are probably going to buy a pair after the first few releases.
July 17th, 2011 at 4:21 am
them things suck i love 7 and 8 but the 9 is straight trash i will not buy any of them sorry lb them mfs r straight kaka
July 17th, 2011 at 4:51 am
No matter what CW they bringing out, i'm not copping this shoe. lebron 8>lebron 7>all other lebrons>lebron 9
July 17th, 2011 at 7:46 am
Fail.
July 17th, 2011 at 9:37 am
i agree with the hwc colorways
July 17th, 2011 at 9:48 am
good 1 lol
July 17th, 2011 at 11:01 am
might not be the best looking shoe but it looks like it will perform really well, thats the main purpose
July 17th, 2011 at 11:18 am
if you would read you would see that nobody is feelin these still so you should be "salty"
July 17th, 2011 at 1:17 pm
Like all the people hating just to get a thumbs up man yall funny the shoe is not great but it will sell n some if the colors are dope
July 17th, 2011 at 1:26 pm
people are blind !!!!!!!!!!!!!! these look fire shut up bro!!!!!!!!!!!
July 17th, 2011 at 1:27 pm
Nike wore out the South Beach colorway like the pair of cortez's in foresst gump
July 17th, 2011 at 1:30 pm
Is it to early to retro some lebrons so i dont have to buy the 9's?
July 17th, 2011 at 1:32 pm
so sick…..can't wait to cop
July 17th, 2011 at 1:37 pm
SOOOO NO HEAT COLORWAY?? BUT THESE ARE UGLY BUT I BET THEY ARE COMFORTABLE TO BALL IN
July 17th, 2011 at 1:59 pm
They all look like fakes
July 17th, 2011 at 2:03 pm
I'm confident some form of a South Beach colorway is coming. Its probably gonna be the new "dunkman" type release, unless he leaves Miami
July 17th, 2011 at 2:07 pm
Sorry, but nothing can save this shoe.
They rival the Kobes in terms of ugliness.
July 17th, 2011 at 3:25 pm
honestlly to me the one thing that kills this shoe its the 3 leaf clover design on the sides
July 17th, 2011 at 4:40 pm
ur da blind 1 if u think about coppin any of these 9's
July 17th, 2011 at 4:42 pm
Sometimes, a colorway can make or break the design of a pair of kicks. Unfortunately, these photoshopped colorways are awesome work by said photoshopper, but the design is awful and woefully saddening. The carbon fiber weave is too much. The ankle cut is terrible with those Reebok Steve Francis from '07 season, super high ankle cut design, lookalikes. The zoom air had better be one of the best ever because even if these were 50% off I would have to reconsider how horrible they look with shorts.
July 17th, 2011 at 4:54 pm
the mcfly CW photoshop is a sacrilege. you should be a shamed of yourself.
July 17th, 2011 at 5:32 pm
Not classic!! Best shoe in 2 years homeboy. Do you see any other sneaker thats came out in the past 2 years selling for a grand. Your an idiot!! Oh wait, nothings classic unless it's a Retro Jordan huh. Get a life you drone.
July 17th, 2011 at 5:33 pm
Your right dip shit. Why dont they just make the same shoe every year. That would be awesome.
July 17th, 2011 at 5:56 pm
this is that shoe
July 17th, 2011 at 6:03 pm
id like to see these on MY feet before i decide if they ugly or not
July 17th, 2011 at 6:53 pm
They really not that bad but I just think LeBrons popularity decline is also doing the same for his shoes
July 17th, 2011 at 7:06 pm
Oh that was original. Havnt heard that six million times this year , deuche bag. U need a "no life" shoe bitch.
July 17th, 2011 at 7:19 pm
ummm… i like these! I don't think it's that bad. seems like everyone at sneakerblogs is sooo closed minded! Can't wait to see more on feet pics and new colorways! That 3rd South Beach colorway is sick, throw a teal-transulscent sole and we will see how they do in stores.. But go ahead and call me a hypbeast cause i like the shoe! i think they will look really cool on feet. but then again.. to each his own
July 17th, 2011 at 8:21 pm
this happens all the time their not gonna make every shoe perfect for some people. its like the jordan 15 alot of people hate it (dope shoe)
July 17th, 2011 at 10:19 pm
Dude, we're on the exact same page.
July 17th, 2011 at 10:45 pm
Yes ALL Jordans (that mike wore) are classic because he won!! IF Lebron won a title last year South Beaches would have been an instant classic. Now they are just another nice, overpriced, Lebron 8 …Infared 6s, Last shot 14s are CLASSICS bc MJ wore them on his way to the trophy!! Now you go get a life and learn your history!
July 17th, 2011 at 10:50 pm
I think majority of you all read the first 3 comments and just went with the flow because i know if a south beach colorway came out we would see some lines in the morning. But I don't feel these that much myself only because the high ankle cut form kind of reminds me of the Yeezy which I didn't like on it when it first debuted.
July 17th, 2011 at 11:30 pm
Im so glad all u haters dont rate these. More lbj9s for meeeeee!
July 18th, 2011 at 1:09 am
Agreed. But if I had to pick any shoe that I like, I'd pick the blue "Knicks" colorway on the first page…
July 18th, 2011 at 3:19 am
the knicks cw is nice but overall I'm not feeling the upper part of the shoe. these two big "wings" kinda ruin the shoe
July 18th, 2011 at 12:29 pm
Crack, all day long. And half (at least) of the people sayin "so ugly" will jump on board and buy them as well…Why has this become a trend in the sneaker world to hate on a shoe before they've released hardly ANY pics and 1 colorway and 1 angle…? If ur a sn'ead u should know that trying on a shoe and seeing it on (your) feet is the only way to make a proper decision.
July 18th, 2011 at 4:37 pm
i actually kinda like them…depend on colorways that come out
July 18th, 2011 at 7:29 pm
They’re Even Worse Than LeBron Traveling
July 18th, 2011 at 11:02 pm
That's because they're photoshop renderings.
July 18th, 2011 at 11:17 pm
Isnt this basically the same thing we went through with the 8's?
July 22nd, 2011 at 3:55 pm
who ever says fail or epic fail is the biggest faggot or 13 years old
July 22nd, 2011 at 3:57 pm
cry about it
July 22nd, 2011 at 3:58 pm
funny cuz hes the best player in the NBA right now
July 22nd, 2011 at 4:06 pm
thats actually true if u think about cuz i hate the lakers but purple and yellow r nasty combinations but im not gunna say i like the laker uniform
July 22nd, 2011 at 4:09 pm
its true
July 25th, 2011 at 4:04 pm
lmao word
August 2nd, 2011 at 7:56 pm
Not a LeBron fan but he got game, in particular on the South Beach and Anthracite Black 8′s. Ill be coppin those in the South Beach colorway and probably that NY lookin color scheme. Switching over from Durant III’s so wish me luck
September 18th, 2011 at 9:28 am
still its a lebron shoe line and soon it will be history and i will have one of it. hope they make the nyk colorway
October 14th, 2011 at 4:07 pm
this sh*t is awesome!
…must have!
