You are now watching the throne…
We were all witnesses in 2011. LeBron James looked for revenge heading into his second season with the Miami Heat. Off the court, Kanye West and Jay-Z had dropped their collaborative Watch The Throne in early August. The rest is history.
While music, pop culture, sports, and sneakers have always had a fluid relationship, there was something different about this Watch The Throne era. The music was unapologetic. The fits were gaudy. The game was changing. It was all poetic.
The friends and family Nike LeBron 9 “Watch The Throne” captured all of that. The gold lace dubrae. The elegant black with gold upper. The icy outsole. The floral print details. Considered a grail to many and a cultural reset for some, the “Watch The Throne” LeBron 9s take us back to what culminated in 2011.

After being vaulted since the shoes leaked a decade ago, official images of the colorway have surfaced. All signs indicate that the Nike LeBron 9 “Watch The Throne” is finally releasing to the masses — not just royalty.
A release date for the Nike LeBron 9 “Watch The Throne” has not been confirmed. However, we anticipate the pair to release in late 2021 or early 2022 for $200 on SNKRS and select retailers. As always, our sneaker monitors and release day strategy will have members ready for drop day.
