Release Date: Nike LeBron 9 ‘South Coast’

News of this release was first published on November 8, 2021.

Update January 12, 2022: The Nike LeBron 9 'South Coast' is locked and loaded for a January 20 release on Nike SNKRS and select retailers including Nice Kicks.

While energy continues to surround LeBron James’ latest Nike LeBron 19, fans are still gravitating towards the king’s throwback models – the LeBron 9 which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year.

Originally teased in August, the ‘South Coast’ colourway obviously pays homage to the legendary LeBron 8 ‘South Beach’ release, a jewel in the crown that is his long sneaker reign.

Flipping the script on the ‘South Beach’ colourway, the LeBron 9 is splashed with aquatic blue synthetic overlays, while minty green Swooshes and crown-adorned heel badges provide balance. Adopting a solid black hue for the majority of the uppers (previously dyed grey for the ‘South Beach’ iteration), the indelible hot pink pigment arrives on the lining, which extends to the insoles where you’ll find palm trees – an allusion to both Miami and Los Angeles.

While we don’t currently have an official release date for the Nike LeBron 9 ‘South Coast’, make sure to keep it locked to Sneaker Freaker for updates.

In the meantime, keep an eye on the LeBron 9 ‘Watch the Throne’ (rumoured to return over the coming months).
