Part III of the Nike LeBron 9 Elite saga continues tomorrow morning as the ‘Varsity Maize’ joints (also dubbed the ‘Bumblebee’ and the ‘Taxi’) will select Nike Basketball retailers tomorrow. LeBron’s yet to wear ‘em out to a game and given the NBA’s strict policy on uniforms, it’s like that LeBron won’t break these out anytime soon. These have, however, been gaining some buzz as they’ve been spotted on the feet of some celebrities (the most memorable sighting being on a recent taping of BET, when host Terrence J wore the Maize 9s next to Kanye’s Yeezy 2). Regarding the release: these will NOT release on Nikestore online, so check with your local Nike Basketball retailer or cop ‘em now from yellownsxt on eBay.

We’re just two games deep (or three in the IND/ORL series) into the 2012 NBA Playoffs, and already the Miami Heat are emerging as a dominant favorite in the Eastern Conference. Not only has their chief competition lost their reigning MVP and subsequently lost a heartbreaker to the 8-seed, but the Heat are rolling thanks to a supercharged effort from LeBron James. The King has gone up a gear as he reaches for that elusive championship ring, and so has his kick game with the Nike LeBron 9 P.S. Elite the most technically advanced basketball sneaker ever released. This ‘Varsity Maize’ LeBron 9 Elite was designed as something of an alternate look for Miami’s nearly quarter-century old color scheme, a bold, alarming look that’s far from the chill ‘South Beach’ vibes. Some have called these the ‘Taxi’ LeBron 9 Elites, but even if that name doesn’t stick, NikeStore’s non-stock on this model means you might have to call a cab to get in line for yours at retailers like Miami’s Mr. R on May 12th.

Not only will the “Aunt Pearl” Nike Zoom KD IV not be hitting Nike.com, but neither will the “Varsity Maize” colorway of the LeBron 9 P.S. Elite.
Also set for a release on May 12, this time at 0, the kicks will be hitting select Nike Basketball storefronts, but will not be available via the brand’s own web store.
So, if you were planning on copping the kicks, make sure you check with your local spot to see if they’ll have them in stock.
Although not set for a release until May 12, the “Varsity Maize” colorway of the Nike LeBron 9 P.S. Elite is available from at least one retailer ahead of schedule.
Decked out in gold with the contrasting carbon fiber wing and additional black accents throughout, the kicks also feature hits of white and Sport Red.
Dropping next month for 0, you can grab a pair now via Air-Knight.
Up to this point the Nike LeBron 9 P.S. Elite ‘Varsity Maize’ has been sort of the odd man out as far as colorways go for the Nike LeBron 9 Elite, with no apparent connection along the same story line of the regal gold versions and the revisit to the ‘South Beach’ theme. Our recent exclusive sit down with Nike Basketball designers Jason Petrie and Leo Chang did help to shed some light on the black and yellow pairing however, intended as a re-imagining of the traditional Miami Heat color combos. Click through for the latest look at the Nike LeBron 9 Elite ‘Varsity Maize’ and let us know if you approve of the flipped color scheme. Also, make sure you have your calender marked for the May 12th release date. Photos: Air Knight

Wale continues to show off his latest advance-notice sneaker pick-ups with the upcoming Nike LeBron 9 P.S. Elite in the ‘Varsity Maize’ colorway. This sighting comes not much after last week’s Nike Air Penny V occasion, when he took the stage for a home-town live showing wearing the spicy ‘Miami’ edition that is scheduled for a December release. The ‘Bumblebee’/’Bruce Lee’ LeBron Elites are likely to drop much sooner – likely in May or June – so we’ll keep you updated on that important tidbit of info soon. More of Wale’s kicks below, so take a look and let us know what you think.

Late last month, Sneaker News first showed you a preview shot of the Varsity Maize/Black-White colorway of the Nike LeBron 9 Elite. Here we have another look at these upcoming releases, which are in the hands of pop-star Chris Brown; like the ‘South Beach’ version of the Elite, this interesting colorway likely has some bearing on LeBron James’ personal tastes – maybe he’s got a thing for the yellow/black Camaro/Transformer known as Bumblebee? What we do know is that these are set for a release in the coming months, so we’ll keep you updated on the release information when it develops. Your thoughts on this upcoming colorway, or any ideas of what this Yellow/Black colorway entails? Let us know in the comments area below.
