Nike is digging back into its archives to officially release the LeBron 9 PE "Diana Taurasi" to the public for the first time. The player-exclusive colorway originally created for WNBA icon Diana Taurasi is set to make its retail debut during NBA All-Star Weekend in Phoenix.

Dressed in a predominantly black upper, the silhouette incorporates purple accents across the construction to align with Taurasi’s tenure with the Phoenix Mercury. While Taurasi regularly received specialized player-exclusive LeBron models throughout her career, this specific pair was never made available to the public. The release comes after Phoenix retired her No. 3 jersey, adding another chapter to her long relationship with Nike and LeBron James’ signature line.

The upcoming drop also marks a notable return for the LeBron 9 silhouette. Nike last reissued the ninth signature model in 2022, making this release the first new LeBron 9 iteration in nearly five years.

The Diana Taurasi Nike LeBron 9 PE is expected to release on February 19, 2027, for a retail price of $250 USD during NBA All-Star Weekend in Phoenix.
