Still a little ambiguity regarding the release of LeBron James’s next shoe, but it’s starting to clear up and it looks like we can expect a Nike LeBron 9 release date on October 25th. That first release will include the black/red pair we’ve seen thus far, although it’s unclear which other colorways, if any, will also hit stores then.As a quick recap, the LeBron 9 will incorporate several of Nike’s upper-echelon technologies, including a Hyperfuse construction for part of the upper, Flywire, Zoom Air in the forefoot, Max Air in the heel, and a rarely-seen carbon fiber textile. Stick with NB for plenty more previews and updates as we near October (and beyond). Check out plenty more pictures and info here.
LeBron James completed his tenth NBA season in June, a career that already places him among the all-time greats at the young age of 28. As the King begins his second decade in the league, Nike commemorates his first with the poem “Rubber City Soul,” by Lemon Andersen.Andersen is the same poet who wrote “King” ten years ago, which dealt with LeBron’s then-just-beginning journey into professional basketball. Now, a decade later, “Rubber City Soul” is a tribute to wear James came from — to his formative years in Akron; to his first two championships — as well as the path he’s still taking.The spoken words are set against striking visuals recounting LeBron’s life and career to date, completing a nearly two-minute spot that’s as memorable as any in recent memory.“Rubber City Soul” reads as follows:For In a land far awayUnder a blanket of the starsOn a moonless nighta child was born in a kingdomOf basketball godsIn a county they calledthe summitnorth of the capitala rubber cityWhere the Akronites run itThis child earnedLearnedthe labors of his loveFrom watching his neighborsRise above hard workAt the local millsWatching the sweat of their browSeeing his comrades growing upTrying to conquer the hillA steep field of wheatworn from cleats and coldpounding the bottom of their solesAgainst tough Ohio wintersand unconditional vertigoBut he rosefrom the duskof Elizabeth ParkAnd her projectstill the arrival of the dawnrose from a high school phenomStraight to the prosnever forgetting howthe sun set on Lake ErieHow the rough watersof the spotlightcan ravageFlow savagely alongalways high tideKnowing the odds against himYet his will to competeRemained Hickory Street strongFor In all this love for his landHe learned to liveby the code of a warriors songand glorious were thewins stackedto the back of the wallbanners droppedfrom the top of the raftersFor all the world to seethis man child rise upagainst the oddsunder the Akronite philosophyIn his mind ever burned:Talent is givenGreatness is earned.
