Even if it wasn’t arguably the reigning NBA Finals MVP’s best Nike Basketball signature to date, even if the Elite designs hadn’t reset the bar when it comes to on-court performance — the sheer number of Nike LeBron 9 color-swap customs are a clear indication of just how popular this shoe really is. But even with all these experimental colorups and the general trend toward neutral and otherwise more ‘wearable’ designs, we hadn’t yet seen this shoe take on the look of the most desired Air Jordan collaboration to date. That changes with our first look at the ‘UNDFTD’ LeBron 9, as CH1CO from FRESH&Fly hits us with the military-inspired Undefeated look set off by orange accents including the stitching on an Elephant print Swoosh. Clck through to see these in greater detail, let us know what you think about switching the woven side panels for a 1000 denier military grade Cordura nylon and let us know if you’ll order a pair of the limited edition run that’s set to begin production in mid-July. via N-SB
