In the second chapter of a story that sees some of the best LeBron 9 colorways ported over to the Nike LeBron 9 Elite‘s championship-winning silhouette, the very first release gets the upgrade treatment. The ‘China’ LeBron 9 dropped during the midst of the NBA lockout on October 1st, 2011 and is one of the reasons why the blue/orange Knicks/Thunder/Cavs-throwback look is enjoying a peak at the moment. Being of a superior construction and unavailable to the public, the size 10.5 sample currently available from sabegotti on eBay is a gem only the most devoted Nike LeBron fans will have an opportunity to own, but you can see more photos for free after the jump below.
