Stalley recently flossed his Home and Away digs of the Nike LeBron 9 P.S. Elite, so the question is: Will you rock ‘em on the 4/28 release date? With the matte black finish and the metallic gold foil accents, the ‘Away’ Elite look right out of an Egyptian tomb, emanating that sense of ancient royalty thanks to the regal colorway and authoritative design. $250 is certainly a big price increase from the LeBron 9 (roughly a 50% increase), but are you willing to overlook that on release date? Peep these new photos below and let us know what your plans are for the LeBron 9 P.S. Elite. Photos via a-knight

Look like Hurache 2008s to me!
I like the look because it has huarache look, but the price is too high. I say nobody cop them and send message to Nike that we want high quality product, but not at the price point they are trying to sell us at. I'd go for these if they were $180 and the regular Lebron 9s were $160. Less air, but more money? That arch makes me not able to wear it with my flat feet.
kinda looks like a knock off of "watch the throne" lebrons
It the fit still going to be the same or are they working something out to where they are true to size
They be at the nike outlet in 6 months for sure
So what is the exact release date on these Elites? Nice Kicks is listing the release date as April 20th, but Sneakernews says April 28th? Who's right?
Are these coming out 4/20 or 4/28??? I mean Kicks On Fire says 4/20 and this site says4/28.
this is the year of black and gold these shits dont look crazy to u guys now but watch in 3 months ur gonna be like why the fuck i didnt cop
Im Gone Get Them When They Drop Nobody In My Area Will Buy These For Retail So Im Gone Get Them Later
Da more they show these, da more i cant stand them lol... i think everybody wants da south beaches
Definitely not worth $250. That's just my opinion though.
PRICE IS TOO HIGH FOR PLASTIC MATERIALS.
If you actually know what the price is for carbon fiber, you'd understand. Is $250 expensive, hell yes. But Carbon Fiber went up in value when the War on Terror started because the were using carbon fiber un the unmanned aircrafts for it's strength and lightweight. The government actually was buying up most if the carbon fiber stuff. I got into a car accident and it was very hard to find a replacement hood for my car and when we asked the companies why, that was the answer we got...
Oh and it's the REAL, AUTHENTIC Carbon Fiber. Thats real talk 2%45
you can't tell that its real carbon fiber based on the pics, that checkered pattern is just a cliche thats been associated with carbon fiber in the past. Thats not what carbon fiber ACTUALLY looks like, just what gets common folk to purchase it
That may be true but I guarantee this shoe didn't cost more than $40 in labor and materials. It does look to be of high quality and I really like the shoe but if it's $250 retail and I'm sure it's going to be limited, imagine what the resellers are going to do. The sneaker game is slowly dying
Yeah... it is. You can clearly see it in a couple of the images. Sorry, I'm just saying that is why. Not trying too be a smart @ss.
These are $80 more why?!
yeah this black and gold thing reminds me way to much of the BHM collection but i can tell u now some of the very artistic people on here are gonna be making "watch the throne" customs out of these
I don't want a BHM
Nice... but 250 nice idk
Disrespect...
It's not disrespect, its a tribute to one of the greatest producers ever to live. RIP Dilladawg
Then put Respect J-Dilla or "RIP Dilladawg" - don't go branding yourself as the legend.
You're not Dilla. Dilla is dead!
These are dope
eh, their alright. kinda boring. definitely no cop
these look better than the regular lebron 9's tbh but nike diggin in pockets hard ......so no cop :(
Poor mans answer to the WTT LeBron's
and... its not like your hoe ass is getting the wtt's
that would make sense if these didnt cost $80 more than the WTT...
