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.

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.
Except from the difference of colors, the sneaker is build with the same standards of performance as other Nike LeBron 9 shoes. The shoe uses the Hyperfuse which is built as a woven-like mesh on the mid and back portions of the upper. The front portion of the shoe used Nike Flywire. Nike LeBron 9 is the first shoe crafted using the combination of Hyperfuse and Flywire on the upper. The Nike Max Air unit as other sneakers is used in the heel and provides maximum impact protection.
The Nike LeBron 9 is sold at $170, ten more dollars than his last signature shoes. People are hot discussed about the extra value for ten dollars. Indeed, it is reasonable. Still now, LeBrom James has not rocked the shoes on the NBA court, but it doesn’t mean you could not. No matter if you are the big fan of LeBron or not, as long as you are the sneakerhead, the shoes are worth of your attention and collecting.
