Release Reminder: Nike LeBron 9 “Freegums” Drops Tomorrow »

Happy Birthday LeBron James! To commemorate his birthday, which is today, Nike is releasing the LeBron 9 Freegums on December 31st, 2011. The graphic art imagery, seen on the inner lining and toe box, was designed by Miami artist Alvaro Ilizarbe, also known as Freegums. Nike released 50 pairs in special boxes earlier this month to celebrate the artist, and now everyone can join in on the celebration. This is the 11th colorway for the Nike LeBron 9, which concludes 2011, but there are still many amazing styles slated for next year. The LeBron 9 Freegums will be available at all House of Hoops (including Europe) locations and most Foot Locker stores, and of course nikestore.com. The MSRP is $170 and they come in Men’s and Kids’ sizes. The retail version features LeBron’s white signature drawer box with Freegums’ special tissue paper.

Detailed Look at Nike LeBron 9 “Kentucky Wildcats” Home PE »

During the NBA Lockout LeBron James got a chance to display a couple of shoes that he normally couldn’t wear with the Miami Heat uniforms. Back in November, while participating in the Rudy Gay charity game, he wore the LEBRON 9 Kentucky Home PE. It’s one of two Player Exclusive shoes personalized for Wildcats’ basketball players for this season. UK’s home shoes are what you’d expect from a White and Blue colorway on the LBJ9, but the difference here is of course the school’s logo on the top of the tongue. This version is not available in stores, though.

Throwback Thursday: LEBRON VII “Heroes Pack” Jordan PE »

One of the most intriguing stories focused on signature sneakers of the modern era was the so called “Heroes Pack” created for the Air Max LeBron VII. Designed by Jason Petrie and his team, the Heroes Pack was a tribute to LeBron James and his childhood idols – Deion Sanders, Penny Hardaway, and Michael Jordan. The Jordan pair was inspired by the Air Jordan XI, which judged by the recent events is still ultra-popular among sneakerheads. We can only imagine what it would be like if the LeBron X Jordan make up was actually released to public. Hopefully the Ken Griffey Jr’s won’t suffer a similar fate.

In first two games of the 2011-12 NBA Season, the Miami Heat got impressive wins against the current champs – the Dallas Mavericks – and their Eastern Conference rival – the Boston Celtics. LeBron James returned with an improved post game. It was nice to watch LBJ displaying his new arsenal of moves. He was also the the catalyst on offense in both games. Just as expected King James debuted his special Christmas Day shoes on December 25th followed by the Freegums appearance in Miami’s home opener last night.

Detailed Look at LeBron James’ “Watch the Throne” PE »

One of LeBron James’ most precious gems is currently being displayed at the UNKNWN store located in Miami. The “Watch the Throne” LeBron 9 Player Exclusive was exposed during the WTT Tour and the sneaker community has been longing for a better look. Well, there’s definitely no better look than this available. The WTT LEBRON 9 features a Black & Gold colorway similar to the cover of the WTT Album with a huge gold lace lock.

Detailed Look at Nike LeBron 9 All-Star Edition aka “Galaxy” »

The “Galaxy” edition has been already confirmed as the 2012 NBA All-Star shoe for LeBron James. This special Nike LeBron 9 colorway features a galactic star theme present on the insole, the tongue, the midfoot platter and even the inside liner. It sure is special. The only thing we need to know is how it’s going to go with this season’s All-Star uniforms. Nevertheless, seems like King James will be the brightest star one way or another. See the new photos, after the break.
