EXCLUSIVE: More Nike LeBron 9.
Following up CounterKicks’ original exclusive first look at the Nike LeBron 9 is this new set of images today.
The photos focus on the upper of the Nike LeBron 9, adding more contextual depth to the material build of the shoe. Nike Flywire technology continues to be a key layer ingredient wrapping the body of Lebron James’ ninth signature shoe, and third in a row to feature Flywire. A large textile carbon fiber component adds support to key lateral and medial portions of the upper, furnishing an elevated technical feel and finish. The applied Nike Swoosh logos get downsized significantly from the previous two editions of the Jason Petrie-designed signature product. A Nike Hyperfuse reminiscent collar area again shows off a scooped down, height differential as last year’s LeBron model for added Achilles flexion while still keeping maximum foot lockdown for fast cut court movements.
Nike LeBron 9 will launch this fall – whether LeBron James and the rest of the NBA come back or not. Retail price is increased from last year’s $160 price point LeBron 8 to this coming year’s $165 MSRP target for Nike LeBron 9. More info developing…
