Nike LeBron 9 “Kentucky Wildcats” Drops this Saturday

If you saw our updated release dates page, the Kentucky Wildcats colorway of the Nike LeBron 9 is the only one missing among all confirmed styles. According to our sources, and nikestore.com, the UK LBJ9’s is a nationwide release and will be available on a wider scale. Nike is planning to drop all 3 college shoes – UKs, OSUs, and Hurricanes – but only the first one has been officially confirmed to release on October 15th, 2011. Check with you local Nike retailers or visit NDC this Saturday if you want to get a pair. I only wish the UK logo was there, somewhere. It would have been perfect. See new photos after the break.

  • I like them very much, but they are missing something like a clear sole that would make them legen... wait for it...dary! :mrgreen:

    And of course the UK logo.

  • So are we talking GR or are they pretty limited? I wanna know if I'm going to have to make a point to go out on Saturday to pick these up or will they be around for a while.

    Not sure how limited they are but if you want them I wouldn't waste anytime getting them. This is the first time a Kentucky Lebron has released and it does seem to be one of the more popular colorways. If you wait you probably won't get a pair without paying extra via ebay

  • I'm think the reason why they releasing all these Lebron is that it probably won't be a NBA season so Lebron need to make some money if there is no games 2 weeks are gone already that's what I'm thinking.

    Yeah I'm starting to get this impression. They'll be on NDC and eastbay at midnight too though so hopefully I'll just be able to get them then.
