That Kyrie Irving is the only Cavalier with a Nike LeBron PE means there will be no more ‘HWC’ colorways from Cleveland’s prodigal son, but thankfully, Nike Basketball has recognized that this shouldn’t keep sneakerheads from getting the ever sick blue/orange combo on a pair of LBJs. The Nike LeBron 9 ‘China’ breaks from the traditional white/red/gold look for a colorway so good, they make David Stern’s plan to expand the league into addiitonal continents seem somewhat sensible. These might turn out to be harder to get than courtside Knicks tickets, though, espeically the special edition packages that only released alongside nine pairs (72 total) at each retail location when the ‘China’ LeBron 9s released over the weekend. Does the slideout drawer and intricate flame graphics make this the best box we’ve ever seen for one of LeBron James’ Nikes? Click through to see the entire package in close-up detail and stick with Sneaker News for more updates on the U.S. release date, and get a pair of the LeBron 9 Chinas now on eBay.

October 3rd, 2011 at 8:39 pm

October 3rd, 2011 at 8:40 pm

Not the best LeBron box I've seen…
October 3rd, 2011 at 10:20 pm
At least we have the opportunity to purchase. If it weren't for resellers, we'd be completely shit out of luck with releases like these.

I don't think the Nike store I work in will have these though. The box is nice I'm just not sure abt the shoes.
October 3rd, 2011 at 10:24 pm

October 3rd, 2011 at 11:20 pm

Im a sneaker collector, not a cardboard box collector. But the 9's are fire, especially in this cw. It is a nice box though, lol.

what's better? the China or NYC IV's? idk man…this is setting a standard for me when it comes to specialty boxes…but I'm still all about the shoes and could forget the box easy…I would like to know what box you like better though

Are these coming out in the US?
October 4th, 2011 at 10:51 am
I wouldn't have had half of my collection if it wasn't for resellers
October 4th, 2011 at 12:10 pm
You gonna pay $950 for a pair of shoes? Wow must be nice I have real responsibility's like paying for college. I can see maybe $350 but almost a thousand is unnecessary. The consumer sets the price for an item, people are letting them get away with rape, it's sad.
October 4th, 2011 at 1:22 pm
The Box is better looking then the shoe.lol

If people are willing to pay a certain price, then why shouldn't they sell it for that price? Resellers are here to provide you with an opportunity to purchase, not to be your best fucking friend. Just having the opportunity is good enough for me. If they're worth less than $950, then naturally the resellers will reduce the price.
