Some salty NBA fans might not put LeBron in the category of ‘elite’ players until he’s got a ring to show for his dominance, but even those doubters oughta have a hard time denying the elite status given to his post season sneaker for this year. The Nike LeBron 9 P.S. Elite is set to arrive in a group of colorways that are anything but conspicuous, with perhaps the least attention grabbing of the bunch still being a gaudy golden affair. With that being said the most attention grabbing of the bunch has to be this redux of the ‘South Beach’ colorway, a minty pair that we’ve seen gain a number of fans over the past couple weeks. Click through for more shots of the Nike LeBron 9 Elite PS ‘South Beach’ from RMK and if you feel the need to scoop them before the June 2nd release date, you can find some now on eBay.

$250
that $250 is killing me.. nike is pushin their limit...
8's are better
Those are nice but $250 is a little steap...whats going on with the galaxy hyperdunk release ?
Sorry, I just realized I'm a huge idiot and have no concept of what shoes actually cost to make. Disregard any thing that I say from here on out. Oh and make sure to thumbs me down every chance you get while calling me names and making fun of my mother. Thanks!
This is just plain ugly! It looks good to other people due to its NAME "southbitch" but in reality nike is just milking us bcoz they know people will bite on this whatever the prize is. Wake up people! Next time this shoes will hit 300$. Take note!
How exactly is Sneakernews hyping these? they haven't put out tons of articles of highprofiled celebrities wearing them. They haven't done articles about Lebron himself wearing them or something they've just shown us a few pictures and there's nothing wrong with that at all
I actually like these- but those Summit Lake joints....mo bettah.
Hypebeast Reseller things to do today... 1. Daily check of SN blog. 2. Find shoe with most comments. 3. Start "camping". 4. Add to Ebay.
Im not feelin all that grey so must be a pass for me.
I like them a lot but hype, nike store's servers and the 250 price tag might have me skip these.
I don't get it when people bitch and moan about how SN is only adding to the hype of a certain sneaker, it's called SNEAKERNEWS so whenever sneaker news comes up the'll report on it.
FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! $250 come on guys get your money up when you see people rocking them your going to want them then its going to be $800 then your really gonna have to throw down money THROWING THEM PINK LACES ON
I'm glad alotta people looking the other way on these hopefully it won't be too ridiculous to grab a pair
at $250 this should ensure some hypebeast fall off. so im all for it.. it better come with a midget to tie my shoes everytime i wanna put em'on though
That's a bad way to talk about your mother.
lucky i have my pair now. super comfy and and the colors are dope. bitches love the color...
tell me more!
If Nike made a penis flesh color sneaker and it was a quickstrike and it was a pasted on a popular model(Jordan,kobe,Lebron,SB etc) you idiots would buy it smh and it would be marked at $350 retail. That's what the sneaker game has come too
Why it gotta be "penis" flesh color though?
you might be the only person coppin that one there patna.
LIKE I SAID BEFORE NOT worth $250!!!! smh nike is just gonna keep raisin the prices if you idiots keep buying them!
I agree and disagree with that comment. People are allowed to buy something how they very well please, but yeah the demand is so high now that Nike can do what they want as far as pricing
The price is 250 because of the materials used. The better materials are designed for better basketball performance. If you aren't even going to play basketball in these, and you are complaning about the price, that is just idiotic. You really need all this technology so you can walk around in the club/mall ? didnt think so. If you want these for casual wear, and you don't like the price, stick with the regular 9s, it's simple.
I paid $644 for mine, and they were worth it TBH.
sooo much worse than last years
coppin for my girl coppin another to resell, sue me
ok i will sue you!!Where do i send the paperwork?
these are honestly nice, but for the price I could save up for something else or pay my bills.
Def coppin
I like how yall just gonna put out my lowkey go to site for shoes on blast
Should I even bother trying to get these?
Fresh!
I don't understand why so many people hate on this shoe.
the colorway is brilliant, but still not touching the south beach 8s
first!
Price is TO DAMN high!!!
Pretty dope. Just not worth the 250 price tag in my opinion
SWEET!!!! but damm wish the laces were thicker. hopefully i can cop this..... aahhhhh....
damn its going to be june 2nd already... overrated shoe imo those who realy like the shoe and that will actually wear them i wish them the best of luck..but you bitch made resellers i hope you get stabbed and get your shit robbed.. hyp beasts too
im so excited for these. i like these more than the original south beach honestly just bc there isn't as much hype surrounding these and less people like them imo. excited to say the least and love them!
The South Beach 8's stayed on shelves for weeks when they released. They didn't get hyped to later. These will sell out just because of the "South Beach" theme.
I hope these release online....
I like these, but for $250? Nah I'm good.
I like this a little but IMO the lebron 9 elite home look better than these, I never got caught up in the hype.
i feel the same way. the elite home, and truthfully the away are way better then these. people are brain washed. wen u say south beach they automatically want them. coped the home elites but the away look so sexy in person . might try and cop those too. i heard they gonna drop a south beach converse. hahaha. us
Well, now that every faggot rapper in the universe has worn these, I'll dub 'em H Y P E beast material and keep it movin' I WILL ROCK SOME FRENCH COQUE"S IF THAT IS WHAT IT TAKES TO KEEP THE GAME AWAY FROM THESE LIGHT-IN-THE-ASS N I G G A Z. Not really but you get my point.
price is ridiculous
Still not feelin em
Great shoe!
