Nike Lebron 9 Pics and Interview with LBJ and JP

Check out the detailed pics of the upcoming LeBron 9 "Bred". The shoe utilizes a "LeBron-Specific" 180 Air Max bag that transitions into the midfoot with a glass reinforced carbon fiber shank. The footstrike ends with the fat 12mm Zoom Bag loaded forefoot. Outrigger support and a personal design cues are incorporated in the outsole. The forefoot upper is flywire loaded for excellent support along with the Fuse technology that continues on to the medial side where you can see the cloverleaf like stability wing. Jason Petrie describes this as a new material developed specifically for LeBron for more lockdown. But seeing the material in several videos and from the pics, it seems like it's similar to the ballistic mesh they use in other Nike products. An asymmetrical lacing system is seen that is continued on to the independent fit harness which looks to keep the heel in place and increase medial and lateral lockdown.
