It might be early to release a colorway like this (it closely resembles a Championship-like colorway), but Swoosh knows no bounds when it comes to unique colorways. Not only does the Nike Zoom LeBron Ambassador IX (9) look good, it also performs very well on-court (performance review by Stanley T).
The shoe features an all-mesh upper from the black toecap to midfoot with some fuse in high-wear areas. Midfoot to heel transitions into a white, soft, reinforced mesh with a foam backing. Visibly, there is a rubberized TPU heel counter for added support while the rest of the midsole is comprised of a soft Poly foam that fades from black to gold. The outsole traction again utilizes an aggressive all-black traction pattern backed by the more durable XDR rubber compound.
The Nike LeBron Ambassador 9 has been a top notch performance shoe since its release earlier this year, and it still holds strong today. If you are interested in a pair, our friends at iD4shoes already have this LeBron Ambassador in stock.

Never noticed how that heel counter looks just like the 14’s traction pattern
