King James Debuts LeBron 9 Lows On-court, Jay-Z Mangos. »

Until last Friday LeBron James had never worn any Ambassadors in an actual NBA game. Until yesterday he had never worn any low-tops either. Yesterday was the first time for LBJ to wear a low-top version of his own signature shoe. The Nike LeBron 9 Low debuted on Easter in two casual colorways, but LeBron debuted a Miami Heat-esque colorway in Black and Red. We profiled this exact version in detail last week. Rolling his ankle in the third quarter seemed scary at first, but fortunately the injury wasn’t too severe. LeBron wasn’t the only one with nice kicks. Jay-Z and DJ Clark Kent, who sat court-side, also sported James’ signature shoes… Mango 9’s and unreleased HWC 8’s, respectively.
