It looks like LeBron James isn't quite done with sneaker releases, as he has unveiled the Nike LeBron 9 Cannon, a new piece of footwear from his collection.
The overall design of the Nike LeBron 9 Cannon goes for a similar design concept as the Nike LeBron 9; instead of relying on flashy graphics, contrasting colors are utilized to highlight the sneaker. This time, the upper takes on a slick metallic look with several tones of military green as a nod to the Miami Heat’s training camp last year at the Eglin Air Force Base. The sneakers also feature a bright orange midsole which serves as a nice contrast that ties everything together. Other details include James' signature on the tongue as well as his LJ crown logo on the heel tag.
