Along with the excitement that accompanies the first official NCAA basketball event of the season comes the Kentucky Wildcat-inspired LeBron 9. Why the LeBron 9? Because a team as versatile as Coach Calipari’s Wildcats needs a shoe that’s built to keep up. Designed for one of the most versatile players to ever play the game, the LeBron 9 combines Flywire and Hyperfuse technology to give LeBron James the stability and flexibility that he needs to dominate. The Wildcats will unveil the shoes tomorrow night when they hit the court for the first time this season. With royal blue taking center stage, the Kentucky colorway of the LeBron 9 is as sleek as the Wildcats are smooth. Look for these to release at select locations starting October 15, 2011.
