Whenever we see a sick new colorway of the Nike LeBron shoe, we tend to approach with apprehension. Why? Well, you don’t want to fall in love with a shoe that might be unattainable, and as we’ve seen with the Nike LeBron line, particularly with the Air Max LeBron VII and the LeBron 8, a good chunk of the widely-praised colorway just never seem to release. The Nike LeBron 9 ‘China’ and it’s seemingly Knicks/CLE HWC colorway was an instant hit when Sneaker News first showed you the LeBron 9 last Wednesday, and here we finally have a detailed look at this upcoming LeBron 9 colorway; the outsole is a translucent light blue, and the tongue and lace harness at the midfoot appear to picture an anime-style graphic of some sort – possibly that of a dragon, considering 2012 is the Year of the Dragon (according to the traditional Chinese Zodiac). Continue reading for a detailed look and let us know if this new colorway changes your mind about the LeBron 9! via Dime China.

I'm seriously feeling these. I don't care what you guys think, but the LeBron 9's are freaking fresh.
September 19th, 2011 at 7:37 pm
They look twisted like the shoe is inverted it doesn't sit flat
September 19th, 2011 at 7:38 pm
Just as i predicted, everyone and there dog clowning on the Bron 9's and as soon as they start leaking some colorways everybody loves them. Happens every year.

NICE!!!!! i was skeptical by the first colorway (bred-ish) but this shoe has grown on me and its the cws tht sway me
September 19th, 2011 at 7:39 pm
the model is not half bad, the CW def is the eye popper, and probably be the reason the shoe does win hearts, But I think whats gettn everyone is the soles, the shape and design will do, we just need better soles
September 19th, 2011 at 7:39 pm
the bottoms look like kobe soles
September 19th, 2011 at 7:47 pm
ouch… there hot
September 19th, 2011 at 7:48 pm
Don't tell me that these are gonna be uber hyped. Great cw but I don't want them becoming the South Beach 2.0
September 19th, 2011 at 7:51 pm
eww!
September 19th, 2011 at 7:58 pm
I think im changing my mind about the 9z man. Its looking better.
September 19th, 2011 at 8:06 pm
im telling u cats right now…if this wasnt lebron yall would be hating this shoe!!! again fake win real 0
September 19th, 2011 at 8:16 pm
same as last year first you got bad bad cw's and they look ugly and then you got some other cw's and the shoe is pretty nice
September 19th, 2011 at 8:20 pm
they should change that toe box the "square" cut looks kinda weird and off IMO
September 19th, 2011 at 9:02 pm
I'm thinking orange or yellow secondary laces and we got a solidfied second place teal based lebron!
Very fresh!!
September 19th, 2011 at 9:10 pm
Heat rocks
September 19th, 2011 at 9:13 pm
I think its exposed to look like that. I am sure the shoe is flat, nike wouldnt make LBJ's 9th shoe lopsided on purpose.
It probably looks better on foot
September 19th, 2011 at 9:15 pm
I love it ,

take the woven off and i'll copp
September 19th, 2011 at 9:41 pm
I got to see them with jeans b4 I say anything
September 19th, 2011 at 9:43 pm
lls i hope you mean so posed
September 19th, 2011 at 9:46 pm
I like them myself can't wait for more colors
September 19th, 2011 at 9:56 pm
The 8's were fire. Even the bred color-way was fire. I don't care what color you put on this shoe, it's still trash. People just want them because it has LeBron attatched to it. Make these some 2011 hyperdunks and nobody talks about them at all. TRASH!
September 19th, 2011 at 10:00 pm
They already are but I bet nike has another cw thats gonna get more hype than this!
September 19th, 2011 at 10:17 pm
i'm getting tired of air max technology… its frkn heavy
September 19th, 2011 at 11:41 pm
These are going to get hyped the fuck up
September 19th, 2011 at 11:55 pm
They look mad comfortable but still have a weird looking silouette!
September 19th, 2011 at 11:56 pm
So true, albeit I do think its an alright shoe. Don't think I will be buying them tho
September 20th, 2011 at 12:23 am
Haha my bad " supposed". I hate bad grammar.
September 20th, 2011 at 12:53 am
the 9's are starting to grow on me….but the lebron 9 lows are a deff cop!!!
September 20th, 2011 at 3:25 am
Idk if they're jean rocking material but I will have multiple pairs to hoop in.
September 20th, 2011 at 4:20 am
I was skeptical about these as well, before this colorway…..good job. Buy what you like…..like what you buy. I'm definitely feeling the lows too. Bring on some more nice colorways of both versions!!!
September 20th, 2011 at 7:28 am
Dope colorway, that blue is sexy!
September 20th, 2011 at 9:31 am
Orange laces will make em pop like crazy! This shoe prob looks better in my size (9-9.5) then the lage sizes…kinda comin round the bend on these,,,need to see in person tho
September 20th, 2011 at 10:54 am
Are these good enough for a consideration?
September 20th, 2011 at 3:13 pm
one cw can really change your opinion of a shoe, these are dope
September 20th, 2011 at 7:52 pm
copping w/o question….loved the first glance of the bred colorway, now these really put them over the top……I see i'll be adding more to the LBJ collection w/ these….
September 20th, 2011 at 8:41 pm
this shyd is sick
