Funny thing is, other companies are putting out great shoes to play in, at a much lower price point. Knowing this, I am happy to not be a slave to one company, their influence and aesthetic.

How many people rock Lebrons on the court? Not much. How many people rock the lebrons off court? A fair amount. Sorry, a lot more people wear Kobes on the court than Lebron, and they rock Kobes off the court too. Lebrons have always been a fashionable shoe and people complain how it lacked on the court feel and performance. That's why Nike is going for a more performance feel with this version. I still feel these won't move like the 7s or 8s, the visual appeal (which is the most important to customers) is severly lacking. A $170 price point isnt gonna help either.

Wear do you live? in LA?

must be from la lol! i rock lebrons on and off the court - all these crazy blue colour ways on the court then the safe triple blacks USA,red carpets, etc off the court

its hard being white and trying to rock blue shoes! my other half says i look like a smurf!

 

[xplosivejeff]

I live in LA and prior to the LeBron 8, very few if any ppl ball in Lebrons. But I've seen a good amount of 8's on court. I expect the same if not more of the 9's on court.

 

[scottiepimpin33]

i live in LA and i ****s with Lebron hard on and off court. but the 9s missed me. i mess with 8, 7 and 6 though.

 

[andfattoo]

i like the orange laces in the china's better.

 

[holiday]

Pulled the trigger on some China's, never know if they are dropping here stateside so I might as well...

 

[you big dummy]

 

[Kobekobe]

here in toronto it's about 5:1 ratio (kobe:lebron)... not many people wear lebrons.

The tounge is fine to me, i hate tounges that are short and all over the place 

I give these shoes a strong 9/10.

These shoes gonna get worn 3 days srtr8..imma get my $ worth 

This NBA lockout gotta end...it's kiling me

 We need a Heatles season 2

Yes indeed we do, Its killing me they won't hurry up and end this lock out!
I wear the slim fits also, so i know how to make my shoes look good no matter what...Unlike these white socks with blue trim wearing guys out here! 

 slim Jeans with these big @ss shoes definite clown status but do you.

 

[jordan23 4xl]

i need to order some China's

 

[royalflush1230]

I want the Chinas...Hope I have the bread for em when they drop but damn money tight right now.

 

[beats05]

not if you actually wear your correct size. it all depends on how your build is.

 

[chitown4eva]

Triple blacks looking good, but I have 2 pairs of 8's to hold me over til they are deeply discounted.

 

[noblekane]

definately go with the orange laces...

 

[gentry187]

I'd personally go with the blue laces.
