With so many LeBron 9 releases still yet to hit stores, how can we possibly look further? There’s no time to get caught up if you’ve been slacking with your Nike LeBron 9 releases, because we have a first look at this sick Red/Aqua sample of the Nike LeBron 9 Low that is slated for a Fall 2012 release. Right off the bat, thoughts of the electrifying and controversial ‘South Beach’ undertone shines through in ‘reverse’ fashion, using the bright punch of solar red paired with the tropical aqua blue for a combo that might make these the must-have LeBrons of the Fall 2012 season. We’ve got another shot of this sick sample after the jump so take a look and let us know what you think. via sneakerpolitics

The LeBron 8 Low V/2 ‘Miami Nights’ was one of last summer’s biggest hits, a suitably strong followup to the epic ‘South Beach’ Eights that kept the pastel colloquial motif alive with a bold new splatter gradient. The LeBron 9 came out of the gate with a number of MIA-themed standouts and now it’s time for the lowtop version to show us what it has in store for the coming dog days. This new Nike LeBron 9 Low is quite clearly the spritual successor to the aforementioned ‘Flamingo’ drop, but will this pair be met with the same kind of delays that pushed the V/2 Lows back to a Labor Day weekend drop? We know for sure that this new LeBron 9 Low has the high energy colorway needed to cause a stir, but what about its US release date? Stick with Sneaker News for that and click through for more in the meantime. via Dino Hatfield

The upcoming 2012 NBA All-Star Game will tie in Nike Basketball’s Big Three with the ‘Big Bang’ theme, but what’s in store for Easter? We’ve already seen the Nike Zoom KD IV Easter, which features the minty-fresh two-toned colorway, and the Nike LeBron 9 Low (pictured here), but we’ve yet to see any Kobe VII ‘Easter’ variety – but we’ll keep you updated on that. Going back to the Nike LeBron 9 Low, the Summer 2012 release (likely to be April) combines the Mint Candy and New Green with a Dark Grey Hyperfuse shell upper, but why not go for the full green upper like the KD? It would look awfully similar to the ‘Focus Pack’ of the Air Max 360 BB Low that hit last year. Check out this exclusive detailed look at the Nike LeBron 9 Low ‘Easter’ and we’ll keep you updated on all Nike Basketball releases that are set to arrive soon.

Low-top sneakers are strictly a summer-time affair, and with the LeBron 9 being introduced in its low-cut portion in just a few months, it’s time to see what the Nike Basketball colorists have up their sleeves. We showed you an early catalog shot of the Obsidian/Cyber colorway, but here’s a first look of the upcoming release in a birds-eye on-feet look; it’s a clean and simple combination, with Cyber jutting out at just the right sections and Grey providing the neutral ground in the inner lining, tongue, and laces. Is this the best LeBron 9 Low colorway to date, or are you waiting for a ‘Flamingo’ LeBron 9 Low? Let us know what you think and stick with Sneaker News for more updates. via jose_stfu

One of the most popular Nike LeBron 8 releases in 2011 was undoubtedly the ‘Entourage’ colorway, inspired by an original poster for the show. Here we have a look at a new colorway of the Nike LeBron 9 Low with a similar Royal Blue/Yellow colorway that should draw immediate connections with the LeBron 8 V/2 ‘Entourage’; it has a royal blue upper with yellow accents on the outsole with a white swoosh on the medial side with blue laces and yellow lace-tips. This just adds to the growing list of Nike LeBron 9 Low colorways (don’t forget the four we previewed here) so stick with Sneaker News for more updates and let us know what you think. via jose_STFU

Capable of representation via any number or combination of pastel colors, Easter‘s is far and away the most versatile when it comes to holiday-oriented color palettes. So while the Nike LeBron 9 Christmas edition looked quite a bit like last year’s LeBron 8 V/2, the new LeBron 9 Low ‘Easter’ is potentially just the first in a long line of springy releases in these Paas-like getups. They come off similar to Kevin Durant’s ‘Easter’ Zoom KD IV, but feel a bit more versatile thanks to a mostly grey upper along with the near infinite-matching capacities of the soft green hits. Will we also see a Zoom Kobe VII done up in a similar style? Check back with Sneaker News to find out, but in the meantime you can click through to see more images of the Easter LeBron 9 Lows. via in52

We’ve become so used to advanced forcasts for all the biggest Nike Basketball releases, that the fact this particular colorway is the only one we’ve seen in the past two months, for a shoe that’s should be out within the next couple seasons, makes it seem like the shoe is practically shrouded in mystery. But even if all the other eggs in the basket remain hidden, at least for now, the Nike LeBron 9 Low ‘Easter’ is making its impact with another series of tantalizing preview images. This crisp Dark Grey/Cool Grey colorup could have added any number of pastel colors to nail the spring holiday vibe, but the choice of a soft Mint Candy and New Green combo means the crispness of grey Hyperfuse upper goes even further than most CG/white pairings. Click through to see more of the ‘Easter’ LeBron 9 Low and stick with Sneaker News for updates, because we’d have to assume we’ll find out the release date well in advance of the April 8th holiday. via Sole Awesome

Each lowtop version of the Nike LeBron signature series has been a casual-friendly variation released during summer since the cut-off Vs first hit back in 2008, and the latest offers arguably the biggest departure from its flagship model over those five years. The Nike LeBron 9 Low eschews the IX’s signatre woven panel in favor of a more straightforward Hyperfuse construction, but the overall result is equally compelling in its own right, especially when shown off in this vibrant ‘Easter’ colorway that we’ve also seen on the Zoom KD IV coming up for later this spring. The egg-finding holiday is one that Nike Basketball hadn’t celebrated as much in years gone by, but it has us curious for what else might be in store (Zoom Kobe VII, anyone?), as well as which other celebrations might end up offering inspiration to future releases.

By now, you should have a firm grasp on the Nike LeBron 9 Low; Hyperfuse upper, no weave panel, 360-degree Max Air unit. After previewing a number of upcoming colorways (and providing the first detailed look at a Black/Volt/White pair not long ago), Sneaker News is now ready to roll out the red carpet on the upcoming Summer 2012 hit – the Nike LeBron 9 Low. Here we have a look at a new high-energy colorway that may very well be the Dark Grey/Mint Candy edition we showed you during the Summer 2012 preview of the shoe; it features a dark grey upper with the dazzling mint on the outsole with touches of aqua blue on the tongue, midfoot ‘wing’ and Max Air unit, and is currently being dubbed the ‘Easter’ edition (possibly a May release?). Do these rival the Solar Red or Sprite LeBron 8 V/2? Check out the detailed images below and let us know what you think. via marqueesole.

Earlier today Sneaker News gave you additional angles of the Summer 2012 releasing Nike LeBron 9 Low, which features a 360-degree Max Air unit instead of the Zoom/Max combo unit as well as a full Hyperfuse hyper (no carbon-fiber weave). In addition to providing some actual shots of the shoe, we gave you a look at four upcoming high-energy colorways, which featured a mix of neon-esque colorways like Bright Turquoise and Mint Candy. Here’s one that’s more fitting of a classic All-American theme – a White/Navy/Red that would likely release around the Fourth of July holiday. Much like the Nike LeBron 8 Veteran’s Day, this upcoming colorway of the LeBron 9 Low celebrates the nation’s roots using colors from the flag, using a contrasting red on the forefoot Flywire and midfoot ‘wing’ embedded below the Hyperfuse mesh. Check out the extra shot below and stick with Sneaker News for more LeBron 9 Low updates. via TSG.
