Official: Revised Lebron IX Thread. MVP's revealed! MV's WILL have toddler sizes! 6/2

So the Elites have the same cushioning setup as the regular 9s, and generally look pretty damn similar.
 
I personally like the Elites but I don't know if I can pay $250 I will have to go to the store and actually see the quality of the shoe. And also once they release a sick CW everyone and their mother will want it. I see the potential of the Elites good job JP keep it up. It is way better than the PS 8 IMO

yea i feel you. But I'm still going to cop, they look crazy!
 
I hope with the way the reception is going so far that I can walk into a store and check out the shoes before deciding if I want to buy it or not. I've always loved simple/classy colorways, and only started buying these loud colors because I like the Lebron IX design and the colors suits it. But I also appreciate the details they put into the shoes even if the colors are just simple (black/white).

<<wishes that the elites were the regular 9 and the regular 9 was scrapped.

not that the regular 9 is bad, just that the elites are much better imo

I think the day of a $250 regular sig shoe is closer then we think. With the price of foams and Jordan 2012 now elites and the regular price of the 9 an Kobe supreme 7's I don't think it's crazy to see a $250 or even $275 starting price tag on a Kobe or lebron signature shoe in the next few years.
Absolutely not. These will probably sell out on the first day.
 
Was switching out the laces on my Swingmans and decided to throw them on the Big Bangs since they matched the mission patch...

Those elites are a very nice basketball shoe. The details on them are awesome along with the colorways. I dont hoop anymore and dont wear basketball sneakers casually so I wont be buying. Actually, even if I still did, Id never pay 250 dollars for a basketball shoe.
