Well that crest is "WITNESS" with the lion behind it....But thanks a lot for the pics!!....
 
I hope they have Air Max in the heel, Zoom in the forefoot. Some flywire and a little bit of Foamposite for durabilty.

I really like the overall shape of the shoe so far =)
and THIS.


I only bought one pair of 7s but for those who bought multiple I feel fr you guys, cuz this one looks interesting as well...So far from this preview...I think I'm liking.

Flywire yes, but wasn't it said that they had a full AM sole just like 7s already?

....As I'm sure they wouldn't be at this point anyway...if anything I wouldnt expect Nike to be giving clues or fueling that speculation fire until confirmation has been made


And I'm liking the crest, very vintage, sophisticated feel to it...I'm surprised they decided to detract away from the number 6 though
 
No prob guys and the colors that are scheduled to release show no signs oflebron leaving the cavaliers. The VIII is a nice shoe. I was just not allowed totake pics of the sample I was shown. And I was told to keep it on the low......For now.
 
I haven't been this intrigued about a LeBron shoe based off the sneak peek since the IVs...

in your opinion,
which shoe looks better? VII or VIII?

b/c we all know performance will def be VIII > VII
