Man the pics look great...I cant wait. And the thought of a Miami Vice colorway is crazy, i hope they do something special
 
This is actually a great looking shoe. I would buy it most def if I still liked Lebron. Heck I would have got at least 2-4 pair. They are still tempting but Lebron is such a Le-Deche.
 
Wow, those pics make the shoe look amazing

I'm almost definitely gonna cop the black/red pair if they look that good in person
 
The shoe is cool in person.

There are certain parts of the shoe that just look ugh.

For those who have tried these on does the air feel any different then on the vii or about the same?
 
And so it officially happened. We are now in Stage 3 of the 5 Stage Lebron Signature Shoe Acceptance Cycle.

Stage 1: Everybody is wondering what it's going to look like...usually accompanied by a shaded profile of the shoe that shows the overall outline but not the details.

Stage 2: The sample picture is finally released and EVERYBODY hates the shoe. Complaints are abound in this stage.

Stage 3: (Current stage) Final release pictures are released, the Chinas are revealed, marketing campaign starts up...everybody is getting hyped, and all of a sudden the shoe is universally loved.

Stage 4: People not in a House of Hoops city complains that all the good colorways aren't a General Release, and the resellers start to flood Ebay with the exclusives. At least someone will be warned or banned for advertising shoes for sale in an improper manner.

Stage 5: People start to fill in the gaps of their collection and look forward to the Soldiers/Post Season versions...The Lows make a brief appearance, then it's time for summer and the wait for the next year version.

Shouldn't be that bad if you just wearing them to chill in. But if you gonna hoop in them and are on a court that isn't all the way clean then it's going to be a problem.

china's look nice.. somehow the suede part on the earlier samples didnt look that good, made the shoe really cheap. what do you expect though, final versions always look best.
