LeBron James didn’t decide to become a New York Knick during his epic free agency summer of 2010, but who cares the inspiration for a sneaker’s colorway when it looks this good?! The royal and orange Nike LeBron 9 pictured above is the latest ‘China’ edition in King James’ Nike Basketball signature series, a model that along with the Dolphins-leaning colorway and Miami Hurricanes PEs has people seeing the Nines in a whole new light. LeBron’s career has been on something of an emotional roller coaster over the past few years so it’s fitting that his new kicks follow suit in the public opinion; is it safe to say the LeBron 9 is on track to be one of the most popular designs of the next twelve-plus months? Have a look at the first full-on images of the LeBron 9 ‘China’ and stick with Sneaker News for more photos and the release date. via lupecci on NT

Interesting shade of blue
September 19th, 2011 at 12:02 pm
these look a lot better than last seasons "china" that came out. feeling the sole, feeling the color and graphics. good job! hope these do not over hyped like last years!
September 19th, 2011 at 12:06 pm
Fresh, I'll take two.
September 19th, 2011 at 12:21 pm
Sold!
September 19th, 2011 at 12:30 pm
love da color scheme.. but da 9's are still hideous…. now da 9 lows are another story
September 19th, 2011 at 12:32 pm
I have always liked the 9, but this cw just blew me away! hope they see a wider release!
September 19th, 2011 at 12:38 pm
I LIKE
September 19th, 2011 at 1:26 pm
i would copp these
September 19th, 2011 at 1:36 pm
This might be the colorway to change my mind
September 19th, 2011 at 1:49 pm
Just like the 8's, everyone is beginning to change their minds. It was only a matter of time until most people came around.
September 19th, 2011 at 2:28 pm
Still not seeing why they're called china?
September 19th, 2011 at 2:32 pm
great cw, ugly ass shoe
September 19th, 2011 at 3:20 pm
these might have changed my perspective on the 9's
September 19th, 2011 at 3:37 pm
Orange laces would be nice on these. Not a huge fan of the 9s except the 9 lows….but this makes me like the mids a lot more….kinda shows wat a colorway can do to a shoes
September 19th, 2011 at 3:39 pm
I'm with you on that, they're fresh to me…
September 19th, 2011 at 3:43 pm
i think these could make a nice boot
September 19th, 2011 at 3:43 pm
I'm not, I'm still not feelin em, but this is da best colorway i'v seen, would look better wit orange laces tho, imo.
September 19th, 2011 at 4:04 pm
No, it was only a matter of color way…
September 19th, 2011 at 4:35 pm
I don't see what all the hate was about….Its a nice shoe.
September 19th, 2011 at 5:07 pm
This color way made this shoe look great….
September 19th, 2011 at 5:36 pm
Dope colorway,horrible shoe.
September 19th, 2011 at 6:15 pm
dont even want to say this because its so hypocritical, but in this colorway they dont look that bad
September 19th, 2011 at 6:42 pm
I would say better but definitely not great.
September 19th, 2011 at 8:27 pm
your absolutely right, i was thinking that when i saw these. i hope nike/lebron crew put a extra pair of laces with them like the SB. but orange would make these pop something awful.
September 19th, 2011 at 8:29 pm
my QUESTION is, whats better! the "miami" or "china" colorway! my vote are these. i love all shades of blue and i like these! i really do, this my second post of the day lol
