Hot off the heels of yesterday's release of the LeBron 9 Elite 'South Beach,' and the confirmation of James as the League's MVP for the third time in four years, Nike Basketball have released a special edition of the successful 9th version of James signature line, dubbing LBJ as the 'Employee of the Year'.

From the Nike media release :

To celebrate LeBron’s MVP win, Nike took a "work-in-progress" look at the award and dubbed the basketball superstar “Employee of the Year.”  The ad additionally acknowledges what LeBron has repeated over and over – that he’s a man on a mission, focused on his team and capturing his first world championship.

Nike further salutes the three-time MVP with a special edition LEBRON 9 MVP shoe.  Designed for elite performance and crafted with style, the LEBRON 9 MVP features striking Miami team colors. Gradient fades from red to black to comprise the upper with pops of yellow while details including an MVP logo on the heel and trophies printed on the sockliner mark the award.  This special LEBRON 9 MVP shoe was made specifically for James, but a very limited amount will be brought to market next month.
