I know ill be in the minority but i thought the lebron 9 were ugly as a shoe... Had some dope colorways tho. The lows look much better imo
The nines were okay. Wish i had some elites though.
Crazy thing about the 'Bron 9's were the mids and lows, besides the cut - were two totally different shoes; from the materials, the max heel and forefoot zoom vs full air max (which is why the lows were much more comfortable). Day and night.
I.g. when you put on the Jordan 11 mids and lows (whether patent or IE's) - you can tell they're anatomically and essentially derived from the same framework/construction (identical chassis if you will).
My fav shoe from the Lebron line still has to be the Solar Red VIII lows.
The X's are an acquired taste, hence, the mixed reviews... but if you don't own a pair, it's hard to judge it from an objective standpoint. If you think they're aesthetically challenged, that's fine. But the comfort level is beyond any other shoe i own.
Built like construction boots but feel like New Balance running shoes (no exaggeraciones).
Y'all know i fukk with a lot of shoes... so for me to say the Lebrong Ten are among my top 5 shoes speaks volumes.
