LeBron 9 Low “Floridians” With a Special Lionhead Outsole

On Friday, when detailed photos surfaced the Internet, sneaker blogs already accepted the Bubblicious nickname for this Vivid Orange & Cherry colorway of the Nike LeBron 9 Low. However, the designer of LeBron’s shoes, Jason Petrie, twitted a different take “Y’all are killin me with this bubblicious stuff! Lol #crazynicknames”. Turns out we were all wrong. Fortunately, there’s a new explanation for this special make up and if you check out the new photos it kind of makes more sense. This season, the Miami Heat pay tribute to the American Basketball Association by wearing 1971-72 Miami Floridians throwback uniforms in select games. LeBron James got his own LeBron 9 Player Exclusive, but fans will get a special version of the Nike LeBron 9 Low. New photos unveil new details including a nice looking translucent outsole with LBJ’s signature lionhead logo. They come out on May 5th. Thanks to Daniel (dsun1226) for sharing!
