Nike LeBron 9 Review

It’s been a period since the release of Nike LeBron 9. There are now in the market different colorway of LeBron 9, and this sneaker has enjoyed a great popularity. There is no denying that LeBron Shoes are always one of the most popular sneakers in the market. The one I am going to do some review is the colorway of Black/Red.

The shoe is designed in black with red accent. The swoosh is decorated in white. In short, it is in undisciplined but heroic style. The combination of the Flywire and Hyperfuse technology used in the upper is remarkable, together with the woven panel. The touching is good. If you are not careful enough, you might think that the outsole in Nike LeBron 9 is just the same as LeBron 8 PS. Yes, it is quite true that they are so similar that you can hardly tell the difference by a glance at the shoe. But, they are different. There is a midsole in fore portion of LeBron 8 PS, but not in LBJ9. Therefore, the LeBron 9 is providing better support for start and good feel of stepping and running on the court. 

In the case of weight, the Nike LeBron 9 weighs only 443g. How does that feel? Jordan Fly Wade 2 is 442g, LeBron 8 V/1 is 508g. Such lightweight owe to the creative combination of Flywire and Hyperfuse, two of which the top advanced technology used in basketball shoes.

Apart from the awesome design of appearance and weight, Nike LeBron 9 owns other features that deserve the price. The insert bootie in LeBron 9 ,together with Nike pro combat foam wrap you foot well. To those players who have a wide instep, a shoe with half size bigger is suggested. What’s more, the shoe is give good protection by the Hyperfuse and TPU in fore portion of the shoe, the Nike pro combat foam and the woven panel of the upper also protect the foot well.

The solid rubber outsole of the shoe is designed with a pattern of flower-looking and circles, which is different from any former LeBron James Shoes. And this design provides better grip on the court. However, it is pity that the grip that shoe provides will sharply decrease when the pattern be gone. The combination of Air Zoom Unit in the fore portion and the Max 180 air in the rear is perfect in providing the cushioning after jumping and landing.

Although there are so many advantages that the Nike LeBron 9 owns, like many other sneaker, it also has some shortages. One of them locates in the design of thin fore portion and thick rear portion of the shoe. It is ok if you play basketball for three or four hours with LeBron 9, but it is not a good idea if you hang out with your friends on the street for more hours because your toes will face great force by the shoe after the feet slip forward.

Brief Introduction of History of Basketball Shoes

Basketball shoes are the shoes that people wear in playing basketball. It is also named sneakers. People who are in love with sneakers and keen on collecting them are sneakerheads.

Basketball is not an easy sports; it requires different kinds of skills. In order to meet all its requirements, the sneakers that players wear should obtain several features which are durability, support, stability and good cushioning. The continuous start, shark stop, jumping and moving left& right in the movements of playing basketball, requires your attention to the special features of the shoes. And what position do you play on the court is another standard in choosing the shoes.

The first sneaker was introduced by Converse, a company set up in 1908. The hundred history of construction of shoes of Converse makes it important in the whole history of America. It was the turning point when sneakers involved into the daily life. All Star from Converse, Nike Air Force 1, Adidas Super Star were the top three popular ones at that time. These sneakers moved the plain sporting into comfortable and fashion sports.

The Air Jordan Shoes in 1985 leaded the sneaker culture to the top. The Air Jordan shoes were produced by Nike for the NBA Star Micheal Jordan. And when Jordan became popular in NBA, the shoes were welcomed by the public, and NBA shoes(shoes that NBA players wear on the court) became popular among all kinds of sports shoes.

Nowadays, most of basketball shoes are made of rubber in outsole. And the first sneaker with rubber outsole used in playing basketball was produced in 1800′s, named plimsolls.

The word of sneaker came out from the rubber outsole shoes, because these shoes would not make any sounds on all kinds of floor. And the first pair of real- meaning basketball shoes was produced by Converse, it was Converse All Star. But now, Converse All Star shoes are used more in fashion wearing.

When adidas company took part in the sports shoes field, it was dealing with tennis shoes at first. Adidas now as long with Nike, are regarded as the two of the biggest shoe companies. The basketball shoes constructed by these two companies are very popular in the market. The secret of the success is that they have contracts with famous NBA Stars, such as Micheal Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James with Nike, and Dwight Howard, Derrick Rose with adidas. By the way, these players are fighting against each other on the NBA court, so as what Nike and adidas do in the market field.

Nike LeBron 9 Shoes in Black/White

When you see a pair of basketball sneakers in colorway of black and white, you might think that they are old fashion kicks; but they are really not. This colorway was easily seen on the NBA court in old years. It was quickly token the place by more colorful sneakers due to its unfashionable accents. Nowadays, more basketball shoes from branded shoe company are designed in this colorway, just like the new Nike LeBron 9.
This new colorway of the LeBron 9 basketball shoes is different from the “Home” colorway of the Miami Heat that decorated in extra more sports red accent. However, they are quite similar. In this sneaker, black is featured on the majority of the shoe’s synthetic upper. White also can be seen on the upper to contrast the shoe nicely. The white accent runs along the toe and surround the lateral parts of the shoe. In addition, the Nike Swoosh, laces, and solid rubber outsole is designed in white. There is also small sports red accent featured in the shoe. It is used by hitting on the pull tab and lace logo.

The Nike Max Air unit as other sneakers is used in the heel and provides maximum impact protection.

Cool Titles of LeBron 9 Shoes

During the passed two months, the whole basketball fans of LeBron James were filled with Nike LeBron 9. They were excited with the more colorways of the shoes which were released with cool titles; such as Miami Night, Grinch, and South Beach and more. It seems that the shoe companies nowadays are trying to attract the buyers’ attention as the biggest as they can, by coolest titles that they can give to the sneakers instead of the wired names containing only colors.
Yes, it is quite different from the old NBA; the modern NBA has more colors. And this is what people are willing to see. However, there is Lebron 9 “Scarface” using white and black on it’s upper, reminding people with old passionate memories.
The shoe features both Flywire and Hyperfuse technologies. The forefoot portion of the shoe is white and accents the Flywire very nicely in red. The rear portion of the upper is black and uses a white Swoosh. The upper portion of the midsole is black while the lower portion uses red and contains the Nike Air unit.
