It wasn’t difficult to see a Liverpool FC colorway coming once LeBron bought a minority stake in the English Premier League soccer, er, football team one year ago. The Nike LeBron 9 Low was chosen as the footwear vehicle for LBJ’s newfound sports passion, with Liverpool’s team colors saturating the entire shoe. Red upper flanked by aqua trim on the tongue, Swoosh, and outsole. The Liverpool Griffin sits on the heel and the team’s 18 trophy graphic is set underneath the translucent outsole insert. A release is in the works, the details of which you’ll know when we do.
