Nike LeBron 9 ‘China’ – U.S. Release Date
December 5th, 2011 by John K. | 58 comments

If you’re still hungry for LeBron 9s (even after the hearty helpings that have already been served up to you), time to make some room in your stomach for some Chinese. That’s right – the it’s been reported by Nikestore Twitter that the Nike LeBron 9 ‘China’ will hit U.S. retailers on December 17th at select Nike Basketball retailers. With the Cannons selling out instantly this past weekend and the Freegum x LeBron 9 already a highly anticipated release, will the China/Blue Flame cause you to revise your plan of action? It sure is tough being a sneakerhead, but these are worth making room for. Stick with Sneaker News for more updates as we approach the U.S. release date, and if you want to guarantee yourself a pair now, cop one of the available sets on from abckicks on eBay.

Where can i order these for the best buy
I JUST MASTURBATED ON THESE!!!!!
What a bunch of liars Nike are. Asia exclusive? Err ... is the US part of Asia now? Its good to know im not a Hypebeast though, as i bought these when everyone(90%) was saying how ugly the 9 was and would "never cop".. Now its the other way around, i guess hype/marketing won through as usual, same as was for the 8, and will for the 10. Like was said, first its the haters, then the followers, then hypebeasts and finally resellers. Circle of life. Sad though that ppl cant think for themselves and have to be owned my Nike and trendsetters. Dont forget to get every cw though! Even though many are talking about their wallet being empty... umm, maybe just buy kicks your going to wear? And not EVERY SINGLE RELEASE that you all hype each other up for and dont actually need? I guess thats why (poor people anyway) rob and steal so they can get em all, coz if you dont have every latest release... you aint gonna be cool! lol.
pass on cannon and black flips all day long on the china son best colorway
I might return those miami nights, cannons and these look better, plus I was already copping those Christmas day joints. Don't want too many lebron 9
Hope these hit Foot Action at my local mall...thats where I got my Cannons from!
weathermans are ok, 14's i'm sleeping on. nerfs, concords and now these will all be copped.
I BET IF ALOT OF PEOPLE KNEW THESE WAS COMING OUT B4 HAND THEY WOULD HAVE PASSED ON THE CANNONS
I definetly would've
im droping stacks this december, and nike is BANKING on all of us
weathermans are ok, 14's i'm sleeping on. nerfs, concords and now these will all be copped. already got black flips and cannons
the cannons and the china are available on nikestore france website and all the colors and sizes are available.
awesome! Let me know how that works out for ya.
Fuck! I bought the miami nights and cannons because I thought the chinas were never going to release :(
I am a broke college kid :(
passin on all the KDs, 14s. only scooping the 11s and these. But i'm fine with that. 14s will sit, nerfs are cool but nothing i must have and weathermans are just okay
WTF man I just bought the Cannons, trying to get these Weatherman's Nerfs and Concords...Nike is killing me man
Sounds like they own you.
i gotta get em they so dope
Missed the cannons, looks like I'll be making that 2 hr trip to Columbus house of hoops 4 these!
im loving all the new lebron colorrways but why all this orange????? its a dope color tho works well on these the cannons and the hurricane joints
I said thi on NT an agree completely
best Lebron 9 shoe, point blank period
I like these alot, but the Cannon's have that 'umph' that the China's don't necessarily have. Not saying i don't like them, they look really good....just prefer the Cannon's.
x2 son
Have them! so So SO AWESOME!!! oh and all you guys who are going to cop i suggest you buy a half size up but then maybe that is just me
true, bought the cannons in my size 10.5 and needed a size 11, luckily the had a pair left when i returned them
i suggest a full size up. i went only a half up on miami nights and they're "snug" but still fit. i went a full size up on the cannons and they're mint.
where can we order them
Ayo good lookin out
i suggest one size up
i agree too, got a pair and they are a little small for me as well.
I don't understand why Nike and jb put all of these release dates so close together. The average person cannot afford to buy all of these shoes in a one month time span
The average person doesn't need to have every pair of shoes
That's because you're not a baller. I have paper to spend and I'm conquering this month.
i'm bossing aswell.
