Remember back when the hood was telling 50 Cent they couldn’t believe Reebok did a deal with a psycho? Those days are firmly in Curtis Jackson’s past at this point, freeing up his sneaker selection options now that no sort of endorsement deal has him obligated to rock with any particular brand. His most recent wear was the black and gold ‘away’ colorway of the Nike LeBron 9 Elite, paired up with a heavy dosage of other black attire for a chat and photo shoot with Extra host and recent Dancing With the Stars contestant Maria Menounos.

While LeBron James will certainly have the Championship Trophy on his mind when he and Miami Heat begin their quest in the Playoffs, he won’t be playing every game in Miami, will he? Accompanying the Nike LeBron 9 Elite ‘Home’ that we just kicked off is the obvious ‘Away’ colorway, which features a sturdy black base paired with the luxurious gold detailing. The upper is strengthened with a carbon fiber panel that spans the lateral outrigger to the heel, giving LeBron’s 240 lb. frame enough protection when he cuts, darts, and explodes off the hardwood and slams in a monstrous two. The ‘wing’ is also replaced by the lightweight and breathable mesh for decreased weight, and the other details like the visible Flywire and the Pro Combat-padded tongue and interior complete the ‘Elite’ appeal, awarding the LeBron 9 Elite the designation as the sexiest LeBron shoe ever created. Of course, ‘Home’ and ‘Away’ aren’t the only Elite colorways we can expect, because we did tease you a ‘South Beach’-like colorway not long ago. Continue reading for a complete look at the Nike LeBron 9 Elite ‘Away’ and mark your calendars for April 28th as that is the release date currently set by Nike.
