Nike LeBron 9 P.S. Elite ‘South Beach’ – Available Early on eBay

The return of the ‘South Beach’ to the LeBron franchise can be compared to a long-await sequel of a movie – think Matrix Reloaded, Aliens, The Dark Knight. But is this upcoming ‘Elite’ release truly a ‘South Beach’ colorway? Given the combo of Pink Flash and the two tones of pastel green, it seems rather obvious that the South Beach motif is what Nike was going for, but many have compared this Elite to another shoe – the Hypermax ‘McFly’. While the color-profile of the two do share a clear similarity, the McFly jive fits nowhere into the LeBron saga, making these a certain South Beach – or nothing at all. These won’t hit stores for roughly two months (June 2nd is the release date), but these have popped up everywhere else outside of the States, and can be purchased now through a number of sellers like janarak on eBay.

What happen to people buying the shoe because they love the player are the story behind them its not the same anymore
easy pass…
most of you are going to cop these because of the fact that there was a South Beach 8 already created, and now it's so hype and WAY overpriced (they sat in stores) so now you all want these. I, on the other hand, am NOT going to cop these BECAUSE of the fact there was a south beach 8 before this one, because the 8s are SO MUCH BETTER THEN THESE. IF I HA NOT SEEN THOSE 8S MAYBE I WOULD THINK THESE WERE OK. BUT THE 8S COMPARED TO THESE 9S MAKES THE 9S LOOK LIKE GREY CRAP. WHY IS THERE GREY AT ALL ON THIS SHOE AND WHY IS THERE SO MUCH OF IT. I'd rather cop Fly wade 1 south beaches then these. And with the money that these are gonna be resold for, I'd rather cop those Watch The Throne 9s with the Jewel...
SneakerNews and NiceKicks need to stop hyping these shoes up so much..
okay i was going pretty hard on my last comment idk which is better but im still coppin tho lol. both dope tho
i dont care what anyone says these are better than the 8s! yeah i said it. def. coppin
i like these. imma try to get 'em..... JUN. 2
Pics r crack but waitin 4 retail. Cop im happy not got other options droppin. Gonna be an expensive summer. OT buyin ya dig!
These Shoes are just Beautifull! Love the Colorway and if im able to get my hands one em on Luanch day im maken em one of my Holy Grails lol #MyMostAnticipatedReleaseThisYear
If theses are South Beaches, than I guess the Marty Mcflyes are also . Its crazy cause the Finish Line near me said they are getting them and if so then they cant be as limited as the original SB LBG 8. So if they not as limited are people still eager to get them??? Sneaker culture has changed so much now...Im not mad if you a reseller or hypebeast or whatever cause nike is themselves..jus think they make the shoe for a lil bit of nothing and then charge theses steep prices...
They are already 6 plus on ebay?? Da fuck son, hyping at its finest. Shoe ain't even out yet and they hittin niggas over the head smdh
they were released i na few countries..very limited stock.
i got a pair but when i saw the prices i sold them for 880usd on ebay :)
These shouldnt be called the south beaches in my opinion but its still a cop for me
they do look nice but i wouldnt even pay retail 250 for these. it's only lebron. no rings but calls himself king. smh.
yea jordan never called himself anything your fans and critics give you a name you dont name yourself like that
Dang it... These grow on you...
they cool but they ain't all that...this is what hype does to good shoes....would rather get the NikeID LeBron over anything they gonna put out
Cant Believe People Droppin 700 On A PREORDER Doe That Dnt Make No Sense
Man I rather by a 6/11 Defining Moments Pack then to spend 800+ for these even if I had already had 2 pairs lol.
iight. these shits are dope as hell in these pics
If there was no previous south beath hype.. A lot of yall wouldnt cop, but i would cause i like the shade of grey but they are too expensive Green laces> Pink... Can't stress that enough
i honestly like the grey too and the green laces are crack
Tuff but not even for the retail price.....foams are worth it cause there durable thesel scuff in no time
Eh
Marty McFly. LOL
I'll wait until June 2nd...and stand in line like everybody else.
if i dont get these fa retail, then i will jus have to take an L on'em... ill jus rotate my pre-heats fa another yr... anybody payin over 300, 500, 700 & a G fa these are jus insane espc wit so much heat comin over da summer. They need to sell them to celebs, athletes & rappers fa a G & let da normal comsumer get them fa 200 max... balances things out to me
Is it that hard to type right
get your money right or GTFO.
Hyyyypebeast... hope u pay 700 fa them & get robbed. And da dude dat robs u fuuuucks ur girl while wearin yo shoes.... fuuuuckin laaaaame
HAHA. They actually have a couple listings with BIDS ON EM! AT $600-700! LOL. Just to get em a couple months early? Thats so sad. If you see anyone wearing these you will know that they are the lamest kids going around, wasting so much money just to have them early, you practically just saying "check out my hyped shoes i got real early... i'm the worlds biggest hypebeast". You trying to be cool and 'accepted' by having shoes that are limited that everyone else wants, to show off, and pay a ridiculous price to get em way before everyone else... but its practically a sign saying the complete opposite!! Haha... why would you want that? Lame.
Grow up. Maybe 700 is a lot to you. It's not to everyone. Get a profession.
Maybe 700 isn't a lot to some people. That's because they're called SUCKAS.
Profession or not 700 is a little steep for a pair of sneakers that is being released in June.
they are limited edition anyway mate. even in other countries...veru limited quantities.
I CANT BELIEVE THIS BS MAN ARE PEOPLE SERIOUSLY GIVING UP A G TO GET THESE EARLY NAAHHH SON
you think they would of went a little bit harder as far as color placing and what not overall there nice nothing to great with that said i may copp if my moneys ok but 270 plus now that shit cray
the power people must feel to either give a thumbs up or down lames.....smh
I thumbed you up, but I'm not going to lie, I didn't feel too much power ;)
Sadly these come out on welfare week, hopefully it won't be a hassle for me to get my son and I pair
O_0 leave the site NOW!!
you're stupid if u spend 700$ for those!!
anyone wanting over 350 can eat a dick. 550+ fuck outta here
AGREED WHEN ARE PEOPLE JUST GOING TO SAY NO MAN LIKE IM NOT PAYING THESE CRAZY PRICES IF MORE PEOPLE STOOD BEHIND THERE WORD THEY WOULD HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO LOWER THE PRICE PEOPLE ALL SAY R A P E BUT IS IT REALLY WHEN YOU TAKE IT WILLINGLY
ha. this shoe is nice, but it aint no south beach... so why they chargin south beach prices???
Idk wat makes them better than the regular lebron 9 for nike to charge us $250, thats ridiculous
If you haven't seen these on feet next to the 8 sb, you need to. These are definitely better looking when worn. These won't sit like the sb did, things have changed A LOT in the past year.
Maybe im the only one... but the South Beach 8's go wayyy harder than these.
