Nike LeBron 9 P.S. Elite “Taxi” – Sample vs GR

Last season, Nike released four colorways of the Nike LeBron 9 P.S. Elite, but unfortunately it was only four. That’s really too bad, because LBJ’s 2012 Playoffs shoes are still one of my all time favorites. Our dreams were crushed down when we realized the Finals MVP edition was not going to happen. Apart from the four, LBJ wore some sick Miami Heat PEs on his way to the first NBA title. There were a couple of interesting samples and here’s a closer look at an alternate version of the “Taxi” colorway. The changes are very subtle. It’s basically a different color on the tongue and altered labels (LEBRON 9 PS, Flywire+Kevlar). Continue reading for more shots and take a detailed look at the GR version. Big thanks to Justin for sharing his pics!

  • The laces and yellow plate on the tongue are sweet.

    The Boston Game 6 Elite PE, where he torched them for 45, in black with red swoosh. Man, I still look at pics of and wish they'd release.
