Nike Celebrates LeBron James Third MVP Honor With Limited Edition Shoes

To celebrate LeBron’s MVP win, Nike took a “work-in-progress” look at the award and dubbed the basketball superstar “Employee of the Year.” Nike salutes the three-time MVP with a special edition LEBRON 9 MVP shoe. Designed for elite performance and crafted with style, the LEBRON 9 MVP features striking Miami Heat team colors. Gradient fades from red to black to comprise the upper with pops of yellow while details including an MVP logo on the heel and trophies printed on the sockliner mark the award. This special LEBRON 9 MVP shoe was made specifically for James, but a very limited amount will be brought to market next month.

  • "work in progress"?

    i hope they change the white overlay and laces into a black and red faded color also. 

    then black midsole with white sparkles.

    that would be SICK! IMO

  • Oh...my....god....These are absolutely.......incredible. Better than the South Beaches. (IMO). I can't wait. I hope so damn bad I can get them!!

  • Lebron only wore these for the first half the game today then switched out to his Elite PEs. That just tells ya how much better and more comfy the Elite are than the regular version

    • I saw that too, hey man, around 5 minutes before the game ended, did you just see that one guy rocking the South Beach 9's?!

  • I'm okay with him wanting to use the Lebron 9 instead of the ELITE  but he should of used Foamposite instead of the stitched quarter panel.

  • WANT SOOOO BAAAADDDDD!!!!!!!! Hope I actually get a pair this time, the galaxies were sold out before I could get my hands on them in my size 12!!!!
