Incredible pair, right? Even without the Lebron branding, it's IMO one of the best models nike has ever come out with for both comfort and style.

I really loved my Summit 9s. The Christmas 9s were beautiful as well TBH. Those crystal snowflake soles were as iconic as the ice Jordan soles IMO. Incredibly beautiful shoes in person that I honestly felt bad for wearing. Unlikely I think that they'd retro a Christmas pair, though.

IMO the Lakers 8 is too underrated right now. I myself only have the Miami Nights, Sprites, and South Beach, but this Lakers color way is beautiful. It could have honestly been an original color way, for how well it suits the model.

I feel like saying no to the Barts, they should've been a mid IMO. Lisa would've made a great nike sb low.

I think at the current release cadence, we'll see the South Beach Elite 9s this summer, and 1 other final 9 retro color way (I have a feeling it'll either be the Cannon or China).

Really feel the Bart's should've been a mid!

I wouldn't be surprised if within 2-3 months they'll be below retail ($120-$180) based on the price patterns on the Miami Night and South Beach 8s.

I misspoke - I meant to say the kids don't like these shoes we considered Grails when we were younger a decade back edit: Just to edit and add, I still can't believe I have a pair of Miami Night 8s, Sprite 8s, and South Beach 8s now. They're such beautiful pairs, this model had a tendency to...

I can't help but think that the South Beach 9s and Cannons are next, following what Nike did with the 8, releasing the most popular colorways of the 9. I personally can't wait for the South Beach 9, IMO the best Lebron shoe ever released. Galaxy's are nice, too, but I can't help but feel they...

Interesting take, but I don't think resell will be more than 1.5x - 1.75x. Maybe I'm just hopeful, just in case I can't order it online.

It looks like at this rate the Jordan 5 "Black Metallic" will be retroing this upcoming year (2022). I'll be the most grateful to see it. All of the new pairs (2016 retro) I've ordered online from GOAT and StockX end up having like lime green soles.

Looks like the Lebron 9 retro is on the way. Not a fan of this color way, though. 2022 year of Lebron 9s? I'll be grabbing the South Beach, Big Bangs, and Xmas if they all drop.

Does anyone know if there are any other Lebron 8 retros planned? I am still hopeful for a low solar red 8, although haven't seen any evidence it's retroing. I do think the SVSM 8 will retro, because pictures were circulating earlier this and last year.

I'm so happy I paid over retail to get them ($340) from StockX. I forgot how beautiful these are, my originals were so worn out I was in awe to see them brand new again.

Excited for this color way.
