Not every shoe can be the Big Bangs. Sometimes less is more. I actually think the detailing on these is completely sick. There's something to be said for clean, classic, refined designs, and that seems to be what they're aiming for here.
I'm SOLD! Just the fact that Nike uses kevlar makes it a plus for me. It def wont save my life in a drive-by, but I appreciate the attention to detail.It takes a lot for me to even consider buying all white based sneakers, but white elites are actually DOPE!Originally Posted by sneakergameinsane
The only thing I can see that supposedly justifies the 250 price hike is the use of the carbon fiber...
BUT thats only if it is REAL carbon fiber
edit: I also read that the flywire is made of kevlar and kevlar is not cheap to make
plus an anatomical fit I just read this on nike-lebron.net

I wonder what the retail price limit would be for people buying Nike shoes?
400$?, 500$............. more than that?
This is getting out of hand, people are allowing Nike to just straight out rape them.
Yall acting like you ballin out, got money burning holes in your pockets........with most people that aint the case.
Kids either mooching off parents or dudes just raising their credit card debt, not having a single $ in your savings account thinking they doing it wearing 250$ shoes. No one gives a crap what you got one but your fake homies.
Everybody is free to spend their money anyway they want, but at this point.......there are better things in life to spend money on. Or just save the money, you might be grateful you did.
I thought 220$ for foams was getting bad...........in a few years the retail price for foams will be 300$ no questions the way yall keep buying shoes
Its disrespectful what Nike is doing and people are just eating it up.

Wait till they're grown up and buying $600 Ferragamo shoes, $300 Hugo Boss loafers, etc. etc. They'll look back at this and chuckle.Originally Posted by UnchartedDrake

Smh, You my friend have to chill.
I myself have been buying my own shoes since I was 14, bought everything on my own since then. Yes I have a savings account, and a checking account. WITH A GOOD JOB..I always make sure my Prorities are straight before i spend over 170 for shoes. Thats why I say if I like the shoes, and they are 250, I will buy them regardless. Nike is a business if you don't like it, don't buy them.
Now I'm not saying I agree with Nike raising the prices, But What can we do, when the resellers will buy them up any?
First, just know this is ALL MY OPINION. Too much mint green. I say just let the base be wolf grey and and add the mint green on that carbon fiber, soles, and the air max 180s. Love the idea with the pink speckles, swoosh, and lace. Lining shouldn't be pink thoughOriginally Posted by tyonenine
if they look like that.... LET THE HYPE BEGIN. Sadly your right, grey will be in the colorwayOriginally Posted by sthebest
my take on what the Lebron 9 Elite will look like

Tight jeans+loud color shoes= Majority of NT
not hating on it, just speaking the truth. wait till we see the south beachish colorway, most of the lukewarm NTers will retract and turn full hypebeast.
if you bought a pair of foams recently, this shoe is only 30 bucks higher than that...so leave the corny matching nike south beach tee shirt there and you have made up the difference.
