It all started about eight years ago when an eighteen year old phenom dropped 25 on the Sacramento Kings at Arco Arena. LeBron James was wearing the Zoom Generation in a wheat colorway we’ve come to know as the ‘First Game’, but the rest of each season since that debut has been dominated by his Nike Basketball signatures in black, red and white. For the Nike LeBron 9, this ‘Inline’ colorway performs the task of introducing the world to the new silhouette quite admirably, its tonal black upper drawing the eye to high-tech advantages like carbon fiber and Flywire mesh. The world shouldn’t hold its breath to see these on the NBA hardwood, but instead embrace the chance to get these kicks before even King James himself when they hit select retailers like LA’s Millennium Shoes on Tuesday, October 25th.
