Michael Le At times called the “LeBronald Palmer,” the Nike LeBron 9 “Arnold Palmer” caused quite the stir when the athlete revealed the colorway in 2012. And while there was certainly demand for it, a release never came to be, causing resale prices to rise over the course of the next 9 years. But as the shoe closes in on its 10th year, it seems we’ll finally see a release later this 2022.
A vibrant, tropical-themed celebration of the legendary golfer — whom some may be familiar with due to the half-and-half drink alone — the shoe embodies what it means to be on vacation. Through the yellow Hyperfuse upper, palm trees and related greenery can be found in spades, the latter a tonal complement to the leafy tongue and midsole. Orange, then, brightens up the lining, Air Unit, and the side check, while also matching a few of the printed details. Additionally, the aforementioned drink and gilded tabs dress the insole and heel, respectively.
