One more extensive Nike LeBron 9 preview today, and one that really shows some of the premium details of the shoe. As a quick technology recap, the LeBron 9 features a carbon fiber textile over most of the rear-half of the upper, providing good looks, lightweight stability and flexibility, and also sports lightweight, breathable Fuse composite as well as stabilizing embedded Flywire. And one detail that I overlooked the last couple of days, the shoes read “What we do in life” on the left, and “Echoes in eternity” on the right, a nod to Gladiator, apparently one of the LeBron’s favorite movies. As I’ve said before, I’m expecting a Nike LeBron 9 release date around October, but that’s just approximately, and clearly the NBA lockout could affect that. Photos via nikelebron.net
