This year, the Nike LeBron 9 model adds $10 to the package and comes in at $170 MSRP. The LeBron 9 Low is priced at $150. We often get to see people paying much more for LeBrons when a limited colorway comes into play, but that’s when re-sellers are taking advantage and it’s only indirectly related to Nike. The Swoosh always sets itself the most ambitious of tasks, but I think they really need to justify the $100 jump in price with something that fans would really appreciate. Maybe with a new technology? We’ve already seen a preview of the 360 Zoom Max air bag, but the 9 P.S. is expected to sport a 180 Air Max / Zoom Air combo. Other shoes in Nike Sportswear have already come close to the $200 mark (f.e. Foamposite One), but $250 is definitely a record for a basketball shoe. According to Nike “The LeBron P.S. Elite is the pinnacle high-end performance shoe with the style and premium quality expected in LeBron’s signature footwear.” The list of colorways sounds interesting especially with no Miami Heat red or USA navy on the list.

1 2 3 Next »$250 is ok for me as long as i like the look of the shoe a few months ago i paid 300 for the lebron 1 first game
Hmm I'm sure I will be buying at least 1 pair to try. Maybe Brons Olympic shoe will just be the Lebron 10
As long as I like em ima grab
F Lebron and Nike. Greed. Lebron was a good player with heart. Til he acted like a 5 year old in the finals. Grow up sneakerheads.
I think that $250 is way too much considering that the NLB 9s haven't even dropped yet. Nike is showing waaayy 2 much confidence in the 9s if they believe that the Nike Lebron 9 P.S. Elite will be a success at $250 MSRP. THEY BETTER BE WORTH IT!!! :?: :!:
I think this is a little outrageous. That's a high price for some basketball shoes. I'm very interested though, I can't wait. I might pick up at least one pair!
Oakley, if you are going to rag on Lebron then dont effen log on to a site specifically for Lebron fans dip shit. I will gladly pay $250 if they are dope.
I would buy em if they are BEYOND BADDEST ASSES in the history of shoes. LMAO!

You're the one acting like a 5 year old coming to a Lebron website to talk shit if you don't even like him. GET LOST YOU'RE NOT WELCOME OR WANTED HERE!
Will definitely cop. Honestly, I love the design of the 9s. Can't wait for pics of these! But I gotta admit that I'm hoping these sit and go on sale, $250 is $250... Can't wait to ball in them too!
They are getting ugly as the go. As much as I like Lebron and all. But the 8 .v2 to me are the best ones. I Luke the 9 China's because of the color. These elites are horrible!! And at 250.00?? They are going to continue to go up and up on the prices. You people are stupid. Wake up!!!
