Nike LeBron 9 Elite ‘South Beach’ – Release Date
March 27th, 2012 by John K. | 79 comments

It’s the summer season year-round in Miami, but you can get down with South Beach wherever you are once the LeBron 9 Elites drop this June 2nd. Already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about sneakers of the year, the Wolf Grey/Mint Candy-New Green-Pink Flash colorway that quickly adapted the ‘South Beach’ moniker has the sneaker community buzzing not only about the concept, but about the $250 retail price-tag. Are these a must-have for you, or is $250 just too much to pay for a sneaker? Check out these new images below and expect the South Beach LeBron 9 Elite to hit select Nike Basketball retailers this June 2nd, or grab a pair way in advance from crispysee on eBay.

WHAT IS THE DEF. OF HYPEBEAST
Hi there, You have done an incredible job. I will definitely digg it and individually recommend to my friends. I'm sure they will be benefited from this website.
ARE THESE DROPPING IN KIDS SIZES??????
Wht stores wil they be released at if anyone knows?
These come out the day i graduate..... FML
The perfect shoe for summer!
I laugh at all of you! Complaining about prices hahaha cant wait to pick up my two pairs and only having to pay retail for them hahahahah
U aint coppin anythin u lame
I'm actually intrigued by these. i think they are unique and nice! def looking forward to them. not looking forward to the price tag but i luckily have my employee discount where i work so they won't cost me $250 thank god. but sorry to y'all that will have to pay that but they r worth it. the quality seems spot on.
OK Nike WTF! A few months ago you were complaining about the cost of cotton and leather. And now the majority of the CRAP being release is this plastic ISH. If you expect people to pay 200 plus, it damn well needs to be some premium leather.
must cop @new HOH
You idiotic "Sneakerheads" out number these "Hyebeast" tenfold when it comes to post on these sites. All I read is "Sneakerheads" calling out the "Hypebeast" on how difficult they make shoe releases. If you "Sneakerheads" would STFU about the shoes these "Hypebeast" wouldn't know how badly you want the shoe. Quit being little b!tches and move in silence.
Wroooong u piece of shiiiit... there are clearly more hyyyypebeast then real sneakerheads nowadayz.. so how bout u do sum research b4 u start talkin out da side of ur face jackass... and ur clearly 1 of da hyyypebeasts wit a comment like dat. So how bout u stay in ur lane ur laaame
That made so much sense
$250 is too much for this yo, foamposite material compared to this shoe makes it look weak and I don't approve of this price, kick rocks
why was the word HYPE edited out of my post?
Cuz all da writers & editors at SN are hyyyyypebeasts... and their tired of people callin them out. But they put it on themselves fa showin da same shoes 5 times a week til da shoe drops... watch, frum now til april 21st, count how many times they post da playoff 12s... i count 17 already aince all star wkend & dat was exactly a month ago. Dats more then a post ever other day
these are gross just like all of your collections ^^^^^
Be weary of these price hikes. The are being put in place to simply test the market. If the consumer is willing to pay the elevated price point, this WILL be the base price point in the future. It is the same concept that X-BOX and Playstation used on their prior systems. Games were typically $50, until they started releasing "special" editions for $60. Once it was determined that the consumer was willing to pay the elevated price, all games were up to $60 when the newest generation systems launched. If you are tired of the gouging, then DON'T BUY at these prices. I know it is tempting, especially when everything that comes out is deemed "limited" due to the hype, but that is the only way to stop the madness... Let's give a reality check back to the company. We are the consumer and are the ones who should be served... not screwed. Just my opinion from the inside.
Yeezy taught you well!
June is going to be a big month for releases
I cant wait till i get my financial aid check for these boys!
I want to cop these but my graduation on the same day hopefully I can cop
Nice...but at $250 and dudes acting crazy for any good release its an easy pass.
It's gonna be a hot summer.
diablo!!
Niiigggas are startin to camp out as we speak fa these.... good luck to those wantin to cop. Its gonna b a hectic day
You sound like a dick head
U would kno since u like suuuckin & slooobbin on them so much huh

Cant wait to bang my girl in these
I cant wait to bang ur girl in these too lol.. dmx frum belly style
cant wait to cop for my girl so i can bang her while she wears it. fuck heels!
I'll be there
I would def cop of they were easy to get unfortunately the kiddies will line up a week in advance smh i have life I ain't with it. The most ill line up is 2-3 hours in advance before a store opens.
Nikes getting smart...id rather give 250 to them, than to resellers...bump it up to 3, to keep resellers away :)
Resellers are gonna have these goin fa 7 & 8 hundred easy once these drop
or they will just cost twice as much from resellers. to bad the resellers are still gonna camp and grab these and hope to double there $. Theres nothing that can be done about resellers, but now you and I are gonna take it in the nuts on the retail and resell price. only one that lose are us.
Already Losing my shift for this release there are dope!
These are Dope, The price makes me wanna tell Iran to not Nuke Israel but to Nuke Nike. Just Do It.
I cant wait to cum all over these... im so horny, i wanna fuck them then swallow the cum i put in them then go to south beach to cum all over the girls in south beach then go find lebron and fuck him... balls so slimy he cant so no

Everyone here talks about "cop this, cop that". I maybe get to buy 3 pairs of shoes in a year, and I'm gonna try to make these one of them.

nigga acting like you care, when you know you just want him to come around to rape him.. suss
Props to you for being fiscally responsible and level headed in a hobby that encourages constant spending. I imagine your limit leaves room for a lot of thinking before swiping your card.
if your only getting 3 a year bad bad choice haha getting 3 alone within a month
LOL 3 a month... i get 2 a week bruh
cool
