That wasn t nike shoes all the LeBron 9 was packing in terms of memorable moments though. Another highlight included the blazing Big Bang All Star pair that hit in a peak year for NBA All-Star shoes fueled by Nike s Galaxy theme. Recall some high points of the Nike LeBron 9 with us below and tell us in the comments if you feel like the LeBron 9 will go down as one of the best designs as far as LeBron James shoes are concerned.
Of course that wasn t the only momentous occasion that the shoe would be forever attached to-it also took LeBron to his second championship in as many years (An even that resulted in the much lusted over Championship Pack ).The story of the LeBron 10 was one of pressure and time, and the outcome of nike air max those forces. This diamond theme manifested itself via both the polygonal shapes cut out on the shoe s upper and the colorways inspired by precious stones (The Crown Jewel among them being the first to hit retail). Just as important as those though were the EXT nike roshe versions of the shoe.
These Extension designs represented the transition of LeBron s line into the lifestyle realm with high profile releases like the Cork and Hazelnut . Slightly less successful but still an important footnote for this entry into the Nike LeBron line was the Nike LeBron 10 NSW Lifestyle, which further pushed his sneakers toward the off-court realm. See some of the more clamored after LeBron 10 pairs below, plenty of them no doubt still fresh in your memory, and stay tuned for tomorrow s conclusion of nike huarache our 11 Days of Nike LeBron series here on Sneaker News.
Over the past 11 days Sneaker News has treated you to 11 Days of Nike LeBron , a sneaker career retrospective of sorts culminating on this, the eleventh day. 11/11 of course brings us to the Nike LeBron XI , that sneaker that so recently arrived at retail. As the current generation of LeBron shoes is a story that s still being told, so there isn t nearly as much retrospective and reminiscence to be had.
The shoe s overall shape was one confirmed by semi-official sources a bit earlier than normal thanks to the advent of social media: one of the first good looks at the shoe came from the Instagram of Mav Carter, a close associate and manager of sorts to LeBron. It was then that we first ogled the Hyperposite built frame that seemed more armored up than any previous LeBron delivery (Keep in mind that the week prior had given us a speculative look at a black-out pair on feet for Bron during a practice session).
From that point the anticipation built nike air force 1 for several months leading up to the eventual October, 2013 debut of the shoes. As has been the custom in recent years, the sneakers actually became available on NIKEiD just a few days before their proper retail debut in order to open the floodgates for customized colorways. The first on the menu colorway following was the King s Pride , which referenced LeBron s undisputed spot at the top of the league. The same day saw the debut of the LeBron 11 NSW Lifestyle, suggesting that those sorts of companion models would be rolled out simultaneously in the future.
