Nike Basketball pays tribute to LeBron James’ first championship with the release of a limited edition pack of his Lebron 9 shoe.
Dubbed the “Championship Pack”, it boasts two colorways of the NBA superstar’s signature sneaker. A gradient fade from red to black with yellow detailing to comprise the upper, while details including an MVP graphic on the heel and trophies printed on the sockliner mark the award.
Worn by James in Game One of the 2012 Finals, the sneaker features a midfoot harness that wraps around the foot and also incorporates Nike’s Flywire technology for strength and lock down support. The finely-tuned midsole provides a unique hybrid cushioning system by combining Max Air 180 in the heel for absorption on impact with a Nike Zoom unit in the forefoot for a springy response.
The Lebron 9 “Championship” Pack is slated to drop on today (August 11), and will be sold as a pack in limited quantities at retailers across North America and China.
