Nike LeBron 9 ‘Kentucky’ – Release Date

The idea for NCAA-inspired colorways of the Nike LeBron 9 actually goes back to the Nike Air Max LeBron VII, when three ‘TB’ inspired colorways released for Kentucky, Ohio State, and Clemson (though not officially, but those three schools rocked ‘em proudly during the 2010 March Madness Tournament). Then again, many of the LeBron take-down models from the Zoom Soldier line were also made in various team-oriented colorways, but the LeBron 9 is the first time an actual PE was made for specific schools (check out the Miami Hurricanes PE from yesterday). The released versions of the NCAA Pack of LeBron 9s won’t feature the PE logos on the tongue, but the beauty of these releases lie in the great colorways, like the Kentucky version that many have called an ‘Air Penny’ edition. This Saturday, October 15th, select Nike Basketball retailers like MrRSports will have these in stock as will Nikestore, so check out the detailed gallery of images below and let us know if these are a must-have for you.

ARE YOU GUYS REALLY FALLING FOR THE UGLY DESIGN!! COME ON FOREAL? THESE DONT EVEN COME CLOSE TO THE 8'S THAT BLESSED OUR FEET LAST SEASON.
Dude who cares rock 8s n 9s. I do.
this cw looks really good.. but I don't get how this huge side-"wings" won't hurt or bother you while playing..!?
I dont get why LeBron's kicks make me hate 'em at first sight but start falling for them as soon as new CWs drop..i just don't get it..
lebron sucks balls.
I personally think these are better than the China's. These just have more class.
Yea boiy liking these babies!
yea these are hot yo.
at first i really didn't like these. then i saw this CW and realized they were a must cop
I knew I was gonna cop these but these actual pics jus made this a double cop for me. There might be some hope for this shoe after all.
these pics made these a NO-cop for me I believe
Penny colorway?
Lebron is booty!
damn, aint heard that adjective in minute...must be from the south
not bad...
Already got them yesterday. They are the sh!t!

love black and royal blue, but with ID lebrons no need for these.
The ID's are 40 dollars more though...just sayin...
$40's more and a lot less pain in the ass...
