Every year Nike gives the LeBron James signature shoes a nod to the city where he is playing basketball. Last year’s South Beach shoe is still a hypebeast classic. This year the shoes are a bit toned down as they reflect the colorway of the perennial college football powerhouse, the Miami Hurricanes.
The LeBron James shoe is supposed to be the highest performance level of basketball shoes that Nike produces since they are for the best player in the game right now. I understand that’s a debatable point but we’ll save that argument for an NBA thread.
The LBJ 9 is even sleeker than last years silhouette. His shoes have been getting less bulky since the 7. Now they look like MMA training x boxing shoes. The 9s bring back a full length airbag and an even deeper sculpt around the ankles and achilles points.
The detail which excited me for these shoes the most however is the carbon-fiber plate arch support shown on the instep photo.
I’m gonna need to visit FootLocker to get a feel for the weight of these shoes.
The LeBron 9 might have to end up under my tree for Kicksmas.
Every James sneaker has been wack with some looking like metroid boots
A little to busy for me
the lebron 7 & 8’s are the best.
China Moon 7s, Miami Beach 8s.
