Today I'm sporting yet
another pair of Lebron 9's. Two very similar looking white-based pairs have surfaced on this model; the homes/Scarfaces and the Freegums. There are a few differences between the two though; the Scarfaces feature visible red flywire, while these are a collaboration with the artist Alvaro “Freegums” Ilizarbe and feature his artwork on the toe area and inner lining as well as on the paper that comes with the shoes. These released on New Year's eve, with 150 pairs in a limited lasered wooden box and the rest in a regular white Lebron 9 box. The shoes fit a little snug initially but break in to a perfect fit and can stand up to a beating from the elements and still be cleaned with a quick wipe down.
