That dude foolin if he ain't cop any of the 8s.

 

[Ja's 2¢]

was bored and experimented with the color blocking. Design wise this Lebron is not that appealing to me, it has that team bank/generic look.

 

[kobejames21]

that svsm still the best imo.....

 

[kobejames21]

somebody should do the cool grey ix in photoshop......

And while I would like to say that I think these could perform well, that collar does look horribly restrictive. Still, if there's one thing I've learned in all my years it's that you can't judge performance based on appearance, so I'll reserve my performance-related opinions for now.

The photo shops aren't bad.

I still am undecided for now. It may sound bad but when you only casually play basketball and have so many basketball shoes you need the shoe to have casual appeal. And i really think the cut of this shoe makes it lack that casual, can be worn with jeans, appeal.

Will wait for different colorways though. I could see myself picking up a pair in a different colorway and for far under retail. Prob about 100 bucks.

Am I the only one that sees the "clover", similar to these hawk flights?

been thinking the same since i saw the ix

Me too. I didn't like the clover design on the hawk flights and I don't like it here on the IXs.

These may mark a distinguishing parrallel with the Air Jordan line in that both 9th models will not be worn in NBA games!

Hope these hit nikeid...the cw will definitely make or break this shoe

 

[coldcity]

Nike Air Shox HyperBaller White/Sport Red-Black

 

[never wear them]

There wasn't as much hate as last year's model.


Like I said before... I have an eye for things, I know what looks hot/dope... I stated the 8s were the best Lebrons after the 4s before the SBs released... The model was just, classic.


This one can be categorized with the Lebron 2s as performance, in his line. But who knows how they feel?...




I totally get the reason why they went this route. From the V3, and also... I think they wanted to bring that essence back to what Bball kicks actually are.

 

[iheartboost]

All the photoshops in the world can't save this kick,

at yall thinking it's possible. The amount of

in this thread is

It just seams like Nike Basketball has been focusing on basketball performance, cant be mad at that? Ive see the CW their sick. The CW will make the kicks look more casual, but at the end of the day its about performance.  As for the lows .... the lows are all about casual.  A few of the CW were accustom to will be in the lows format

  ..... ( not talking about dunkmans ... they aren't made till the second half of the season, so I have no clue )

the IXs didn't have to be so ugly though,

 

[nikedealer]

NWT.... you are going to come around....

Trust me. You know I thought Hyperfuse was the Devil. This one was played right

Im not a fan of the 180/Zoom Set up but await some future leaks....

Becasue the price of gas is going up and Lebron doesn't feel like driving a more efficient car?

 

[you big dummy]

a few more

 

[never wear them]

I know I'ma end up buying at least 1 of these. No doubt.

I just seriously hope for a NF version.

 

[sneakergameinsane]

If nike actually decides to id these these with decent cw options I will definitely get a pair.

 

[bronle]

If they do a leather pair it will be copped

 

[aj27526]

anyone know how to not lose image quality when exporting to a JPG file? quality always looks worse when uploaded
