We’re just two games deep (or three in the IND/ORL series) into the 2012 NBA Playoffs, and already the Miami Heat are emerging as a dominant favorite in the Eastern Conference. Not only has their chief competition lost their reigning MVP and subsequently lost a heartbreaker to the 8-seed, but the Heat are rolling thanks to a supercharged effort from LeBron James. The King has gone up a gear as he reaches for that elusive championship ring, and so has his kick game with the Nike LeBron 9 P.S. Elite the most technically advanced basketball sneaker ever released. This ‘Varsity Maize’ LeBron 9 Elite was designed as something of an alternate look for Miami’s nearly quarter-century old color scheme, a bold, alarming look that’s far from the chill ‘South Beach’ vibes. Some have called these the ‘Taxi’ LeBron 9 Elites, but even if that name doesn’t stick, NikeStore’s non-stock on this model means you might have to call a cab to get in line for yours at retailers like Miami’s Mr. R on May 12th.

When I just skimmed over this quickly I thought the title was "arriving at re-sellers" instead of retailers then it occurred to me, it's basically the same thing now days
mann if i were one of those people walking on the street i would of got them 9s and ran off with them sickest elite yet
Can't wait for these! My first yellow pair of kicks! Nice details but would have liked a red airbag.
we NEED a Lebron Elite GALAXY cw!!!!
this is prob the most truthful thing i have read on here in a while! imagine a galaxy lebron elite. maybe like the custom pair the one guy made that all glow in the dark! sick!
don't forget the Lebron 9 posting rule fellas.... if you gon cry about the price.. then don't comment.
$250 YA'LL CAN HAVE THIS SHIT F*** LEBRON, PETRIE, AND NIKE. THE ONLY REASON THEY GET AWAY WITH THESE PRICES IS BECAUSE YA'LL ALLOW THEM TO!!! SO IF YOU WANT MORE HIGH ASS SNEAKER PRICES GO RIGHT AHEAD AND BUY THESE! NIKE IS TESTING THE WATER WITH THESE PRICES!!! BY THE WAY THOSE $250 ELITE LEBRON'S ARE STILL SITTING ON SHELVES THEY DID NOT DO WELL!!!! YOU KNOW WHY?......NO "RE-SELL" VALUE......KIND OF HARD TO FLIP A $250 PAIR OF SHOES HUH RE-SELLERS????? LOL
you are totally out of the loop bruh....
alright well last night before i went to play in a league basketball game i said "Ahh i need new shoes why not get the new lebrons?" (i work at champs fortunately so i don't have to pay $250 for them) but OMG they are hands down the best basketball shoe i have ever played in and i am an avid ball player. the comfort is unmatched by any sneaker and they are just an overall great piece of work by nike. i recommend these to anyone, they look great and perform better!
IKR!!!!
Kobe V Bruce Lee ripoffs ... can't stand biting shit but I will not lie, the kicks are dope
okay
Honestly i think these are better than South Beaches, because i think south beach theme is played out
never played out. I can't wait for the Lebron X South Beach.!!!!
Nahhhh!!!! Thanks anyway. Am happy with my Kobe VI Lightbulbs, same CWs or even better than this maize. I'll pass.
I still dont like this shoe. The toe and the inner side looks like a hyper dunk. And i dont like how the upper is. But i do like all the colors they have out out.
you gotta see some elites in person, AMAZING!
Basically what a 'Game of Death' NIKEiD version of the 9 PS Elite would look like, he kinda ripped that off of Kobe no? Still dope either way
Sexy
these would be cool to have... theres not much yellow sneakers out but i doubt they will come out in gs sizes
They might... da blk & gold elites dat dropped last wkend came in big kids sizes too
Jason Petrie and lebron are Dbags but man... They got some nice kicks! I really want these
Dope shoe but I must pass!
This shit goes hard with red lace on! Need this and south bitches!
Lebron Elites are amazing. I have the South Beach and homes, I will be getting these next. BOOM!
Sneakernews: can we please get some Yeezy 2 posts? I feel like this sneaker deserves at least 1 post a week. I'm dead serious.
