The Nike LeBron 9 PS Elite South Beach draws influence from the South Beach featuring a synthetic upper colored in Miami Vice hues. The South Beach Lebron 9 primarily features a wolf grey upper with pastel accents. A Wolf Grey hyperfused base adorns the upper with breathable mesh around the forefoot. Mint Candy drapes the laces, and Flash Pink works around the midfoot on the eyestays. More shades of pink appear on the sole, covering the Zoom inscription and Lebron label on the heel. A mint candy new green swoosh hits the perimeters, while Lebron's signature appears on the tongue in the same colorway. For performance-oriented additions, the South Beach Lebron 9 has visible air cushioning on the translucent midsole. The midsole mounts onto a rubber outsole with serrations designed for traction. Finally, a black carbon-reinforced overlay lines the midfoot. What our experts love about the Lebron 9 South Beach is the air cushioning underneath the breathable upper. The Air unit delivers lightweight cushioning ideal for on-court feats. The Nike LeBron 9 PS Elite South Beach was released on June 2, 2012, retailing for $250.
