The new LeBron James Miami Hurricanes-themed basketball shoes are set for release. The “Miami Nights” edition is set to drop on November 4th with the UM-style LeBron 9s expected to be released in the near future.
These new 9s shoes are set to match the Hurricanes’ home basketball unis, with a white / green synthetic and Flyware upper. Orange accents on the shoes, the LeBron signature on the tongue, a Swoosh outline and 180 heel Air bag and pull tab.
One would expect fan reaction to be both hot and cold depending on shoe preference, but regardless, from a branding standpoint this is a definite coup for the University of Miami, the basketball program and first-year head coach Jim Larranaga.
