Official Description: Built to maximize the strengths of triple-threat players like LeBron, the LeBron 9 Men's Basketball Shoe is the first in the signature series to combine Flywire technology and Hyperfuse construction. New support and cushioning features are designed for protection, lockdown and liftoff so you can cut sharper, accelerate quicker and control the court like never before.

Benefits:

• Hyperfuse upper for ultra-lightweight durability and breathability
• Flywire for super-lightweight support and lockdown control
• Max Air 180 unit for cushioning and impact protection
• Nike Zoom unit for low-profile, responsive cushioning

Features:

• PROTECT:
  LeBron brings a rare combination of speed, agility and force to the game, demanding exceptional protection for all four quarters. Support wings on either side of the shoe fulfill this need by helping shield and stabilize the foot.
• LOCK DOWN:
  Bringing LeBron's ninth signature shoe to unrivaled levels of performance is Hyperfuse construction: three different layers of material fused together to create a nearly seamless, one-piece upper with zones of stability, durability and ventilation. A midfoot harness made with Flywire (or ultra-strong nylon fibers) integrates with the asymmetrical lacing system, building on the shoe's unparalleled support and locked-down fit.
• LIFT OFF:
  A combination of Max Air and Nike Zoom cushioning helps keep the foot comfortable for explosive takeoffs and soft landings. A Cushlon midsole adds to the shoe's lightweight cushioning and durability.
• Signature Details:
  A reflection of LeBron, this hoops shoe features his new logo, his signature on the ventilated tongue, and a special outsole pattern that pays tribute to his versatile style of play.
• Origins:
  Lock me down so I can fly. Protect me from myself. Make me light. This is what LeBron James requested to Nike designers for his ninth signature shoe—and they didn't disappoint him. From lightweight cushioning to supportive Flywire, each feature of the LeBron 9 executes one or more of these needs. And because so much attention to detail was given to the performance attributes of the shoe, its style was born out of pure innovation.
