LeBron James Personally Owned and Worn “LeBron 9” Nike Player Sample Sneakers
These Nike LeBron 9 promotional sample sneakers, size 16, were worn by LeBron James, as confirmed by a photograph he posted on his Twitter account (@KingJames) on February 3rd, 2012, with the caption "My kick game tonight in Philly!! Ouch #Swag9s". The left sneaker is conclusively photo-matched by Real Game Used (RGU) to the design patterns visible in the posted image, particularly on the midsole near the inner heel. Both sneakers show signs of wear and soiling on the outsoles, indicative of repeated use. They feature promo sample codes on the inner tags, marked "PROMO SAMPLE20111025", indicating their manufacturing date as October 25th, 2011. The Nike swooshes are composed of a highly reflective material that appears lighter in the Twitter image due to bright lighting or a flash. According to Real Game Used, the left sneaker is photo matched, with a high likelihood that the right sneaker is also authentic. This would be a unique and incredible addition to any basketball collection.
