Lebron 9s. We have all seen them. We all know someone that has these shoes, probably because they are comfortable or fresh.
The Lebron 9s include an Air Max 180 unit in the heel for support. Nike includes Air Max technology in a lot of their shoes which provides cushioning when running. In the Freegum edition of the Lebron 9s they include combat support for the ankles. They also include carbon fiber which help people jump higher. This shoe has designed shape for support and comfort.
There were high expectations for the Lebron 9s, and for the most part, it seems they have lived up to the hype.
“I love them, they’re really comfortable and give good support when I play sports,” said eighth grader Nick Cata. Cata is a proud owner of not one, not two, but three pairs of the famous ninth model in the Lebron shoe collection. They are the first shoe to combine hyperfuse and flywire technology, making it one of the most technically advanced shoes.
Aside from how great they are for playing basketball, the Lebron nines are being looked at as one of the nicest pairs of shoes you can find. Kids are paying the $170 price. Every week there are more and more kids who walk into school sporting their new shoes. There are more than 15 different color ways so you never know what pair you might see.
Every year each model seems to beat the last. The Lebron 8s were the first Lebron to feature carbon fiber. Lebron first model that was named after him were the Lebron 3s. The Lebron 4-7 models featured something called the “Fairfax Home” edition. This is very ironic because we are writing this from South County Secondary School in Fairfax County, Virginia. This is rumored to be named after our county. The Lebron shoes are inspired by one of the greatest athletes of our time.
Personally we think they are extremely comfortable. We would rate them 4.5 stars out of five. They reason why they are not perfect is because they are known to cause blisters. That is the only bad part about the Lebron 9s. Some people dislike the design. It all comes up to you.
