Nike LeBron 9 “Freegums” Shot in Natural Surroundings »

The Miami HEAT… or more like Miami Floridians played their first game last night wearing a special throwback uniform tonight honoring the 1971-72 Miami Floridians of the ABA. Click here to see the game pics. Instead of a new make up, LeBron James sported the Freegums version of the Nike LeBron 9. For this occasion let’s take a detailed look at this special colorway surrounded with some special Freegums graphics. Is it me or are they really getting nicer to look at with time?

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.

First Look: Nike LeBron 9 “Black & White” aka Scarface Freegums »

I was reluctant to call the Home 9′s like everyone else and seems like something better has come along, which is much more deserving of the Scarface nickname. Still, we will update you on the real inspiration once available, as always. A new batch of photos, actually it’s already two, presenting a new colorway of the Nike LeBron 9 has just surfaced the Internet. The new Black and White is definitely a back-to-basics colorway, which among neck-breakers like Chinas and Cannons is something quite refreshing. Release information is not available at the moment, it will most likely release to public, but it remains unknown in what fashion. What’s your take on this new LEBRON 9?
UPDATE: They’re not Scarface LeBrons after all. It’s a graphic art about King James and Miami designed by Alvaro Ilizarbe, aka Freegums, a local artist in Miami.
