To celebrate Kanye West and Jay-Z’s tour and the release of their joint album, Watch The Throne, Nike Basketball crafted a special edition of LeBron James‘ ninth signature sneaker in 2011. While the Black pair is already rare, there is a ‘Metallic Gold’ Sample which is even more rare than the original. Nike is set to release the “Watch The Throne” LeBron 16 during All-Star Weekend, this LeBron 9 will remain a sample. Those with a heavy pocket can find sizes available through reseller sites like GOAT and Flight Club.
Take a look at the sample above and let us know how they compare to some of LeBron’s previous PE models. In related LBJ news, you can take a look at the Nike LeBron 16 Low “Safari.”
