Thanks for the vid.

I like the details on the white pair more, but I'm just a sucker for black shoes. Hope I can get either pair at least, and will be satisfied with the shoes overall.

Lol. Ain't $10. Probably costs em at least 10 per shoe to get em shipped over here from China anyway. Material ain't cheap nowdays either.

I don't really like the price, but we're getting a lot quality wise. It's a better deal than paying 170 for a retro jordan you can't even ball in. And what's up with making basketball shoes you can't ball in?. JB's catering to hypebeasts now instead of players

People need to focus on the fact that these are made for hooping in. You're paying for performance and mainly the costs of research and development. Don't correlate the price with looks. Aside from that they're very comfortable and highly recommend them.

Anyone try out the Kobe Elites yet? Is there anything different besides the upper and carbon fiber? Can't wait until they go on sale...

like 6-7 years ago AF1s cost $12 to make So that would be what? $16 at most to make now.
Those shoes have much better technology than AF1s but it still couldn't cost more than $30 to make

When these sell out, don't complain about a price hike on next years models and on retros. I will not pay 250, even as much as I want the South Beaches. I'm trying to get a Tier 0 shoe for that price, I will pay for exclusiveness, I will not pay for..... whatever it is that they are using to sell these.

If you take inflation into account, a $150 shoe from 10-11 years ago would now be about 230 with 4% inflation, so in real terms the price hike ain't that extreme

Played in my Taxis today. Shoes are a definitely much better for playing in than the regular Lebron IXs. I found the fit, comfort, cushioning, traction, and ventilation to all be improved. I would give these a solid 9.5/10 or a grade of an A. Definitely one of my favorite playing experiences in the last few years.

I would agree $250 is pricey but they do have a different feel than the regular Lebron 9. Seems like they have more cushion. Just not the 80 to 90 dollars worth. Oh well I got a pair doe.

Quality?? real ballers stay away from these, there is no durability in these or the entire elite series for that matter.

We'll see how the quality holds up on these. If they break down early then they are going back to Nike for a refund. After one day of working out and one 3 hr pick up run they look fine so far. Time will tell...

Like a few have stated, the retail price is crazy but the shoe itself is excellent. I have 8 pair of the 9s and the elites are much more comfortable. That hurauche style sock liner realy makes a difference. I ended up buying all the colorways of the elite because I love it so much.

I got the LeBron IX Elite Away. I tried on the Home colorways and fell in love. I ended up buying both colorways
