To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Nike LeBron 9, Nike offered a new Miami-inspired colorway with the Nike LeBron 9 South Coast. Much like the renowned LeBron 8 South Beach, the Nike LeBron 9 South Coast draws inspiration from fixtures of Miami nightlife. However, it opts for a more subtle black and blue palette with neon hues scattered throughout its mesh upper. Palm tree graphics on the shoe's lining nod to Miami's beachscape. At the base, Air Max cushioning contributes responsiveness and support. The Nike LeBron 9 South Coast released in January of 2022 and retailed for $210. The Nike LeBron 9 ‘South Coast’ brings back LeBron James’ ninth signature shoe for the first time since its original release in 2011. The mid-top features neon accents and unique details that nod to LeBron’s move to Los Angeles. Breathable black textile is utilized on the upper, accented with a Lime Glow Swoosh and reinforced with durable synthetic overlays in Dutch Blue. A palm tree graphic adds tropical flair to the fuchsia-colored collar lining. Lightweight cushioning arrives via a foam midsole with a Zoom Air unit in the forefoot and a visible Max Air 180 unit in the heel.
