Nike LeBron 9 Specs: Max + Zoom Air, Hyperfuse, Flywire

We still await releases of LeBron 8 P.S., Nike Soldier V and even LeBron 8 V/2 Low, but details about the next shoe in the series – Nike LeBron 9 – have just leaked to the Internet. Similar to the Post Season edition of the Eight, LeBron James’ Ninth signature model is a combo of Max Air, Zoom Air, Hyperfuse and Flywire. The upper is constructed with Hyperfuse technology combined with supportive midfoot wing and first generation Flywire construction harness. The midolse incorporates 180 Max Air in the heel, but it’s most likely the reengineered version just like the 8 P.S., and Zoom Air in the forefoot. Additionally, carbon fiber based shank ensures lightweight protection. The bad news is the price. The MSRP is $165, which is $5 more than the last two signature models. First colorways – 469764-001 (Black/Black), 469764-003 (Black/White), 469764-100 (White/Red) – are slated to drop in October. It’s too early to tell if all this information is valid, but we’ll provide updates once available.

  • I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!
    I was wondering why the LeBron 8 P.S. didn't have flywire with hyper fuse and all that the LeBron 9 will have...I guess they save it for this one.

    I guess the v3's (P.S.) LeBron 8's will topped off with the LeBron 9. I'm going to save up money NOW for these shoes.

    Crazy light, stability...I think these will be literally... designed and engineered to the exact specifications of MR LEBRON JAMES. lol

    These are going to be the best basketball shoes for a long time...maybe

  • The V3s is going to be the best performance basketball shoe for a long time... :cool:
    OH! WAIT A SECOND?! :shock:

    THE XIs!!! :grin:

    LOOKING FWD ON THE DUNKMANS!!! THIS YEAR'S DUNKMAN WAS WHAAAACK!!! :x

  • I forgot all about the dunkman's!!!
    If they have a Dunkman LeBron IX I have a feeling they will be really nice. We can't forget about the all-stars! and a Christmas color way will probably pop up because it's been a popular colorway in the past few years. CANT WAIT!!!!!

  • I really hope they aint hyperfuse styles i'd rather him stay with making shoes that are more wearable with clothes because hyperfuse can be worn casually just doesn't look good though

    Your right, that is what I was thinking, but you know...can't go wrong with a pair of LeBron's!

  • yea I love Lebrons I started collecting last year I use to get Jordans but they fell of quick and compare no where near Lebrons quality

  • This is ridiculous! LOOK AT THE PRICE PEOPLE! You gotta think about economy. It's like paying $200 dollars on Lebron's shoes and your money go away. Nike Company and Lebron are raping your money to buy his shoes. They are just making profit for Lebron.

    See I have arguments like that all the time. If you take good care of them, some serious collector will probably be asking about these on this website or another or in the streets etc., and you can sell them for twice as much! It's all about how you take care of the shoes. You keep 'em,you wear 'em and then you sell 'em! If you are a collector, you can keep them until you hear people asking about them. Sell them for twice as much, and guess what? If they buy it you have enough to buy the shoes all over again and still have money.

    Example:
    You buy All-Star LeBron's for $150
    They go by quick & easy, so by the next day, all these websites would have them for $300 or something like that.Spread the word that your selling a pair for about $320 shipped.Someone buys them.You just made about $300 and have enough to buy another pair of LeBron's, and still have about $150! The choice is your after you sell them. Keep all the money or half the money with another pair of LeBron's.
