Nike LeBron 9 Specs: Max + Zoom Air, Hyperfuse, Flywire »

We still await releases of LeBron 8 P.S., Nike Soldier V and even LeBron 8 V/2 Low, but details about the next shoe in the series – Nike LeBron 9 – have just leaked to the Internet. Similar to the Post Season edition of the Eight, LeBron James’ Ninth signature model is a combo of Max Air, Zoom Air, Hyperfuse and Flywire. The upper is constructed with Hyperfuse technology combined with supportive midfoot wing and first generation Flywire construction harness. The midolse incorporates 180 Max Air in the heel, but it’s most likely the reengineered version just like the 8 P.S., and Zoom Air in the forefoot. Additionally, carbon fiber based shank ensures lightweight protection. The bad news is the price. The MSRP is $165, which is $5 more than the last two signature models. First colorways – 469764-001 (Black/Black), 469764-003 (Black/White), 469764-100 (White/Red) – are slated to drop in October. It’s too early to tell if all this information is valid, but we’ll provide updates once available.
