Before the Miami Heat came along and was the toast of the town in South Beach, there was the Miami Floridians of the freewheeling ABA during the 1970s. While the Floridians never really achieved much on the basketball court, their colorful legacy lives on thanks to the Hardwood Classics jerseys the Heat wear that mimics their unique white, black, orange and pink color scheme.
During last season's Hardwood Classics games, LeBron James would break away from his usual white, black and red Nike LeBron 9 PEs and go with something a little more colorful to go along with his Floridians attire. This season will be no different as a leaked image of a "Floridians" colorway of the Nike LeBron X made it to all of the sneaker blogs Saturday. Previously, an away version of the "Floridians" LeBron X was revealed with the orange and pink accents.
The pink and orange are still found on the home colorway but their placement is now different. The white upper is complimented by the black swoosh and tongue, orange is found on the inner lining, midsole and Zoom Air Unit while the pink is on the laces and the eyelets.
While the Floridians PE of the LeBron 9 never made it to store shelves, the fact that people have been able to post images of these online so early might give credence to it getting a retail release. Stay tuned here for more info as it becomes available.
