As LeBron spent khaki nike so much time in the post season that year, it was only fitting that his on-feet offerings morphed at that juncture to provide a silhouette better fitted for the post-season push. Thus was born the Nike Elite Basketball line, a trio of models that included the reinforced Nike LeBron 9 Elite.
