Nike LeBron 9 “Year of the Dragon” Customs By Proof Culture
August 7th, 2012 by John K. | 9 comments

A ‘Year of the Dragon’ custom of the LeBron 9 has yet to be seen, although the first release of the ninth shoe was in fact a ‘Dragon’ homage in the form of the Blue Flame. Here we have another rendition of ‘Dragon’ as sneaker customizer Proof Culture throws in an array of China-specific details like the gold/red lettering on the heel-tab, the dragon logo on the tongue, the dragon scale detailing on the mid-foot wing, and jade green colorized upper. It’s great to see customizers use the LeBron 9 as the go-to model, so let’s hope more bangers like these surface as we send off the LeBron 9 in perfect fashion! Photos: paintorthread












got damn these are ill
Now this is a dope ass custom!!!! There are lot's of custom jobs out there, this is one of the nicest ones I've seen in a minute!!!
They should release all of these YOTD colorways! especially this one
O_O......so dope. Nike is calling you my friend. They need you in the kitchen
they're sick, I wouldn't rock em though, I like the scale effect.
Not my style but really impressive execution, green hue is dope as hell
These are a decent costom job. No clunky paint splattered all over the shoe. It's a good look and not your normal custom cw
Ahh man that color is super hard
They Dope!!
