Nike LeBron 9 P.S. Elite ‘Varsity Maize’ – Detailed Images
April 25th, 2012 by Aaron Hope | 37 comments

Questioning the definition of the word ‘elite’ was a major theme throughout the NFL season as the Super Bowl-winning quarterback proved you can’t spell that word without his own name. This year’s NBA season has moved with an accelerated pace that’s squelched some of this talk in favor of the mass of highlights out there every night, but there’s still plenty of chatter from talking heads about whether LeBron James is making the most of his once-in-a-lifetime potential. One easy way to shut up all the critics would be for King James to hoist the Larry O’Brien trophy wearing a pair of Nike LeBron 9 Elites; but does this Varsity Maize colorup have enough Miami Heat tie-in to show up in the Playoffs, or will these end up a ‘street’ exclusive like so many recent memorable Nike LeBron drops? Stick with Sneaker News for updates as we approach the May 12th release date and check out some new images of the ‘Varsity Maize’ LeBron 9 Elite below. Photos: taobao

$250



















I can't figure out why people get on these sneaker sites and complain about pricing like Nike is going to send a suicide bomber to your house if you don't cop these kicks. if you think they're hot , like me, find a way to cop them retail. If you can't afford em then get some $160 retros or something and stop complaining.
these shoes are dope, but 250?! its a nope..
$250 is a lot but I hope it will make purchasing these easier. These will be my first yellow kicks God willing.
Im witcha....I hope I don't gotta get up early will be my first yellow and black shoe....no otha better yellow shoe
alot cheaper for me to cop than to get the tokyo 5s or lightning 4s. So I guess i'll be coppin
yea red laces would be real nice....
I like the red accents, not too much jus right
Horrible CW
Real nice shoe, better than those south beaches, imo its the best LB 9 Elite cw. Shame that its $250, cause no matter how nice it is, im not paying $250 cash for a shoe that isnt even a deadstock pair thats hard to find nowadays
why u paying this shoe so much attention when ur just gonna pass...
For nearly $270 with tax i rather enjoy looking at them on another person feet. Nike is abusing the consumer however these people nowadays are so hyped about every released and will buy anything everthing Probably 10 years ago these would sit on the shelf and be discounted however nothing discounted these days because they sellout nationwide on the first date of release so now nike has no hesitaton of slapping a heffy price tag on kicks now because they know they're going sell.
But it will be a deadstock pair that's hard to find 5 minutes after it releases.
If the soles were yellow they'll kill
the carbon fiber on the upper is the best part about the elites imo
the C fiber is super nice, one of my fav parts too.
id be all over these like a pitbull on a poodle if the price wasnt so f'n outrages
so then ur not gonna be like a pitbull on a poodle...
Hoping the Tweet RSVPsystem is good to me , if not its gonna be an early Saturday Morning
These are wayyy better than the "SB" elite 9s. IMO
na.
Huh? But youre "camping out now" for em? Loser
Nike sure does love Bruce Lee.
I think that guys finger just gave those Lebrons Herpes and AIDS!!
Do they come with a hooker?
that finger is disgusting.
YO! them rottin' finger blame on unwashed love jisms. Swagggin' CW but pass on crazy price tag.
ROBOCOPPED!!! camping OUT NOW!!!
There you go, Nike. Good job.
Dese is some nice shoes, but for $250......
These are very nice...and different
still dont think ANY shoe is worth $250 smh....
I love the swag factor on these
damn Jay.... I thought people liked these.... idc, I'm still coppin. I'm lovin the elites.
these look amazing. the material, technology, and attention to detail is on point. this is what ALL of Nike's shoes should look like. I'm sure they make enough profit to put this shoe as a more resonable price like $150-$175. but all in all, I really do like the Elite Bron 9's
Hope thy cum wit red laces
the 2nd lace color is pink flash.
not feelin these
