By now you have seen the images of Nike’s Sample pair of “What the LeBron” 9’s and said to yourself “WTF is wrong with Nike?” Well where Nike falls short the customizers rise to the occasion. Surely an onslaught of “What The LeBrons” will hit the web shortly, but why settle for someone else’s  dish when you can sit with your own personal Chef to cook your own pair?

This listing pays for the shoe and the custom work and an in depth 1 on 1 design session where you and Chef will hash out a “What The LeBron” unique to your tastes. Decide in what colors the midsoles fade to, splatter color, flywire fade, upper color, quarters, etc. The base shoe will either come from NikeID or Chef will use a base that best suits your suggested design.

The image you see is a mockup, and once you have your design session with Chef you will receive a rendering to review before he cooks your dish to perfection. Keep in mind, the left and right foot will be different so be prepared to double your design efforts with Chef!

If you want to send in your own base shoe as part of the deal, the adjusted price is $550 and can be paid for from the “Send in Your LeBron 9″ listing after selecting “What The LeBron” from the drop down.
