Just like we all got caught up in the hype leading up to and in the wake of his ‘decision’, sneakerheads are finding our attention pulled to the Nike LeBron 9 like a tractor beam. A recent collection of Photoshop renderings gave us a look into the possible outcomes from some of the Nike LeBron series’ best loved colorways, all of which were based upon the template of this inline release. King James’ likely initial regular season home sneaker sticks with the classic bred plus white palette, and with the NBA currently locked out, it could be some time before we see them on the professional hardwood; will the October drop be delayed as a result? Click through to see more images and stick with Sneaker News for the Nike LeBron 9 release date as soon as it’s confirmed. via Kicks-crew

July 19th, 2011 at 2:43 pm
the v2s are always better than the v1s hopefully the south beaches drop in the v2 style instead of the v1
July 19th, 2011 at 2:46 pm
these are starting to grow on me
July 19th, 2011 at 2:52 pm
been downhill since the 7's
July 19th, 2011 at 2:54 pm
They look like a hyperfuse or a hyperdunk. But the minute they release the "south beach" colorway y'all gon be on them nuts.
July 19th, 2011 at 3:02 pm
they reminds me of clover leafs… can't wait to see (if) the dunkmans colorway.
July 19th, 2011 at 3:06 pm
I WOULD TAKE THESE OVER THE BRED V1 8'S AND PS ANY DAY. And to truely speak, idk what separates these from the 8's ? I mean i never like the huge swoosh the 8 had all that much. But these are hot in my opinion. It's really only 3 reasons in my opinion why people don't like these 1. No 360 Air unit 2. You already not a fan of Lebron's sneakers (which idk who isn't) 3. You don't like Lebron personally.But i like the shoe in these pictures, it doesn't look as clunky as before.
July 19th, 2011 at 3:11 pm
Signatures on shoes should only be allowed if they are real
July 19th, 2011 at 3:14 pm
The friday before Halloween is always the release for black and red lebrons
July 19th, 2011 at 3:16 pm
guess can save my money on these and save up to get another pair of south beach 8's
July 19th, 2011 at 3:17 pm
These images do look better, but, ik they will never grow on me. i'll wait for the lebron 10
July 19th, 2011 at 3:23 pm
I guess every shoe he drop caint be hot..this is a clear case
July 19th, 2011 at 3:23 pm
Nike did this purposely because he didnt win the championship that they all expected from him so they came up with a shitty design and he had to just accept it or else he'd loose his shoe line! lmao thats my only theory as to why they are so fucking garbage compared to the 8's
July 19th, 2011 at 3:24 pm
LOL!
July 19th, 2011 at 3:25 pm
the more they release more pix, da worse they look.. kinda like lbj in games.. good in da beginnin but cant finish when it counts lol
July 19th, 2011 at 3:25 pm
all of u guys that
say that these are poop etc
are going to cop if theres a south beach
colorway so stfu
July 19th, 2011 at 3:32 pm
well i guess instead of buying these….ima have to go out and look for the Lebron 8 colorways i passed on!
July 19th, 2011 at 4:28 pm
I'll have my pair when they drop…I'm one of the few that likes these.
July 19th, 2011 at 4:51 pm
I would SO stroke my cock to a hot guy wearing these. BAWSE.
—– THE BAWSE
July 19th, 2011 at 4:51 pm
They may not be as good as the 8's but they're still a decent shoe. Once people see them in person I'm sure some opinions will change
July 19th, 2011 at 5:05 pm
you do realize theyve prolly been working on this for months during the season too. its not like this just magically popped up and they gave it to him. you sound stupid
July 19th, 2011 at 5:06 pm
honestly i think theyre decent. theyre not amazing but i like them and i think that a lot of ppl dont like them because theyre told not to. have your own opinion. i think theyre a tight shoe
July 19th, 2011 at 5:20 pm
these are tight. will be copping at least 1 colorway
July 19th, 2011 at 5:25 pm
Its was gonna be hard to out do the 7 right. But then the 8 came out with some DOPE CW's like the Pre-Heat. So it kinda lived up to the 7 in its own right. But this 9 has some big shoes to fill and I'm not gonna say its not nice but I will say it's not gonna be easy for it so live up to the past 2 models.
July 19th, 2011 at 5:26 pm
I have to disagree with you, i liked the v1's better then the v2's. The debut heat (red,black & white) colorway i think that nike put alot of time and effort in the design in the shoes. It's a very comfortable shoe and the suede material was of high quality.
July 19th, 2011 at 5:53 pm
The Best
July 19th, 2011 at 6:12 pm
These may actually kinda grow on me. Most of ya'll are talking out ya ass about these being shitty. To be honest they straight…. But a cop…??
July 19th, 2011 at 6:35 pm
They do, not this colorway tho.
July 19th, 2011 at 6:37 pm
PREACH! Don't quite understand why everyone is hatin..
July 19th, 2011 at 6:50 pm
i asked lebron for a dollar and he only had 3 quarters.
July 19th, 2011 at 7:02 pm
Why are you complaining bunches of losers…these are very very decent shoes…
July 19th, 2011 at 7:05 pm
i like dha 8's better but not coppin on dese but jordans imma always gon cop dem
July 19th, 2011 at 7:15 pm
Not Lebron fan but dude finished pretty well against Chicago while Wade played possum getting yammed on. Wasnt for Lebron, they wouldnt even wouldve made it to the finals.
July 19th, 2011 at 7:17 pm
i asked lebron for a dollar and but he only had 3 quarters.
July 19th, 2011 at 8:20 pm
Wow, these make regular basketball shoes look nice.
Ugly trash.
July 19th, 2011 at 8:20 pm
dumb fuck stop spamming
July 19th, 2011 at 8:22 pm
i told rajon rhondo ill give a quarter for every free throw he made. i gave him four shots but i only gave him two quarters
July 19th, 2011 at 8:26 pm
it's funny cuz when i asked kobe for a quarter he had none.
July 19th, 2011 at 10:20 pm
but if u think about it, LBJ shoulda been had a ring. when he took da cavs to da finals, he had a chance to win games 2 & 3 in da 4th & didnt… 2 yrs ago v Orlando in da east conf finals, didnt show up again, complainin bout calls & shit while dwight & turkolou was gettin in dat ass. Then walked off like a whinnin girl… Last season he was KILLIN in game 6 v Boston but didnt show up in da 4th AGAIN… and we all kno how dis season enedin… im jus sayin, if u wanna b great u jus cant bring yo team to da finals, u have to weild yo team to WIN DA FINALS.. Barkley, Reggie Miller, A.I., Ewing Stockton, K. Malone are took they team to da finals, but have no rings to show fa it… but at least these guys show up in da 4th to give they team a chance
July 19th, 2011 at 11:44 pm
ok 1. these shoes dont even look that bad 2, the point of basketball shoes are to help you perform, these look like a real quality pair of basketball shoes
July 20th, 2011 at 1:25 am
YEAHTHAT WAS THE PERFORMANCE KOBE COULD ONLY DREAM OF. KOBE IS THE LUCKIEST PLAYER EVER
July 20th, 2011 at 2:24 am
It's because he was too busy shining his rings.
July 20th, 2011 at 4:21 am
No he was actually too busy getting swept
July 20th, 2011 at 8:33 am
is that why they are overpriced trash?
July 20th, 2011 at 11:53 am
lmao ayeeeeeeeeeeeee
July 20th, 2011 at 12:09 pm
This shoe is built for basketball. I just cant see my self wearing this shoe. I got lebron 6-8 but this one looks like mickey mouse ear on the ankle arean wierd! Save some dow this year lets see kobe 7. As of now im enjoying my J's pickup esp. The V's quai!
July 20th, 2011 at 7:50 pm
no its cuz u trash brah
July 21st, 2011 at 12:52 pm
personally i do like the look of the shoe except the outsole, but i think this performs well on court if you play with 'em since bron bron's gonna use 'em right? im guessing, the shiny ribbed part of the shoe would be replaced by fuse tech to make it a v2 of it.
July 21st, 2011 at 3:22 pm
I'm warming up to these. The CW is trash though. The right CW and this shoe will be mine.
August 13th, 2011 at 1:01 pm
I'm copping, sure a lot of you will as well. I went back to the first look post they made for the Lebron 8 and it was getting a lot of negative feedback much like this one.
