Nike LeBron 9 Swingman

Although not officially listed as one of LeBron James’ heroes, the upcoming release of the Griffey-infused Nike LeBron 9 is certainly a clear message that LeBron idolizes the ‘Swingman’. This colorway that combines an OG Air Griffey Max 1-esque Teal and Red exudes that Mariners feel, with the matte finish of the Hyperfuse upper shell giving off the emerald city appeal. Sneaker News confirmed the release of the Nike LeBron 9 ‘Griffey’ not long ago, so circle your calendars for March 2nd after you take a nice detailed look at this hot upcoming release. via yieke.

  12. LADIES LOVE Says:

    HOW MANY OF THESE ARE NIKE GOING TO RELEASE. THEY ALL LOOK ALIKE. ENOUGH ALREADY

  13. jadaqwe$t Says:

    these are better looking but they couldve killed if they were more freshwater themed

  14. dabz Says:

    not sure if srs

  15. D. Johnson Says:

    This shoe has some of the best initial release colorways for as far as I can think. Remember the days people were trashing the lebron 9 model, then the colorways started releasing and everything changed, not being out of bounds, but this shoe will go down as legendary, the work Nike has put into this shoe is nothing short of remarkable.

  16. IHATEHYPEBEAST Says:

    WHERE ARE ALL THE PPL THAT SAID THE LEBRON 9 MODEL WAS TRASH
    NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN EVERYONE LOVES THEM JUST BECAUSE OF A COLOR LOL
    WOW

  17. jadaqwe$t Says:

    red laces gotta go down!

  18. LemmeGethose Says:

    Really ? Thats like asking how many times can JB retro a sneaker and it sell out. Of course they all going to look alike but this sneaker has the best colorways hands down and anyone can tell you that

  19. Kam Says:

    Limited or General?

  20. JcrackBallin Says:

    I can't agree more

  21. Yes Says:

    These might be my first lebron 9s
    I'm a sucker for griffeys, and emerald/teal/retro/freshwater colorways!!!!!

  22. Pimp_Hard Says:

    The Lebron 9 is trash, over priced trash, but yet you guys read these articles and buy into the hype. LOL. #allofthesecolorwaysequaloverkill

  23. mars Says:

    good collab

  24. zo87 Says:

    Aesthetically the shoe is sick! performance wise TERRIBLE! payed $180 for some shoes that couldnt even grip a hardwoord court! Not sure if it is because of the pattern on the bottom or the material used on it, either way very disappointed

  25. contraband Says:

    You are 100% correct. While it looks nothing like an AM95, it has the same feel to it. SOOO many colorways can make the shoe look SOOO good.

  26. Justin Says:

    Not gonna cop, but these are pretty damn dope.

  27. Atrain6 Says:

    No my friend the China's kill the Hornets and are slightly better than the Galaxy's IMO. My guess is you havnt seen the China's in real life.

  28. That Random Guest Says:

    they are straight but, I'm not tripping because my high school team already has the blk/red lebrons you see him wear. And for you lames thinking you're swagging with them for casual wear then… You LAME!!!And anyway I would rather play in the new kobes because they are swagg only on the court though.. Aye I bet you guys know what comes next to finish this comment #

  29. Baller Pig Says:

    Not bad at all! What do you guys think of red laces instead? Wouldn't look bad either!

  30. Rick "rosay" Ross Says:

    Damn I just made a mess in my pants

  31. Qwerty Says:

    Yea cuz Lebron is havin a problem with them… STFU

  32. Gratto Says:

    Hhmmmmmm….the colour has changed on these. Remember, the first round of pics were quite navy/obsidian, not teal like these. It makes sense, considering it's Griffey-inspired, but I just don't like this shade as much.

  33. Agent gram Says:

    Red carpet pt.2 gotta cop! Really been digging all the themes for the lb9

  34. ...ima757boy. Says:

    …NIKE continues to SATURATE the shoe industry with strong COLORWAYs & designs.

  35. axl Says:

    not feelin this cw pass

  36. IHATEHYPEBEAST Says:

    word lol …..

  37. standclear1 Says:

    amen brother!

  38. ToneyCosmos Says:

    These. Galaxies. Hornets. >

  39. dopeman2978 Says:

    i have, but the china colorway doesnt stand out like the hornets purple and white! or does it stand out like the bright orange and glow in the dark sole of the big bang! so yea what you saying is

  40. YaY Says:

    Stfu. I still thunk they are trash. I don't own a pair and I never will, so suck my big toe you filthy animal.

  41. geminicricket Says:

    stupid, what next? a Jumpman Jordan on it?

  42. Matt Says:

    These are soooooooo dopeee. im a huge fan of the lebron 9 easily a classic sneaker and with such a wide array of colorways how can these be hated…Cannons,Chinas,Kentuckys,Freegums and the colorways also coming soon how can these be passed on?? Why cuz u wud rather get a garbage quality hyped up get shot sprayed and tazed for jordan? Nah no thanks i like the brons!! Nike yet again u bring an amazing color to the palette lets see this green abyss color used enough hyping up eggplant and retro and filament green use these sick colors!!!

  43. hbeasy Says:

    very red carpet-esque…i believe they come with red laces as well and i've been waiting for these skipping shoes the whole month of february for the march kobe and lebron releases

  44. BuddhaShark Says:

    White outsole ruins it for me again

  45. @mrjordan313 Says:

  46. Ab_nation Says:

    Your cool…. -___-

  47. donadamsky Says:

    just another average LeBron 9…

  48. $teved23 Says:

    Dope colorway! I like the look of the woven material, it has a glossy look to it.

  49. @MaxDrowed Says:

    Im on the fense, I would have to see them in person

  50. @LamezGetFingaz Says:

    These are a must no hesitation. These are definitely a spring sneaker. Good Money !!

  51. LemmeGethose Says:

    And im pretty sure you buy these shitty quality jordans they drop now that are over priced. Explain to me what the difference is if you like the sneaker
