THE OFFICIAL LEBRON VIII THREAD Updated V3 release 4/16/2011

[keonclark7]

Sorry, oneonenine. I had to!

 

[onlyfootball]

Oh, phew. Nevermind then, that's perfectly fine. Looking like Yeezy's on the other hand, is not as fine. Still keeping my fingers crossed though.

Thanks for the pics btw.

EDIT: Yes! Outrigger!

I wonder if colorways like that would be scrapped if he went to another team

the penny iv in the orlando colorway were released and i dont think penny was with the magic anymore... they did release a suns colorway later though...

 

[andfattoo]

they remind me of Air Darwins

 

[thapointguy]

The material used looks very nice and of high quality, but it seems like it is going to be a much heavier shoe than the 7s. I'm liking what I see.

its about damn time.
nice full grain leather with flywire.
Outrigger much needed, i think the first in the Lebron line!

Please give me a polyurethane insole or the cushlon midsole with that air max!

But still...what a tease!
I cant believe its almost july and we havent seen any solid pics!
Thanks for the teasers guys!

 

[bundy9]

Those teaser pics look great!

....I wonder if we'll see anoter artist series like we did with the 7s on this white "canvas"

 

[olvera23]

23 though...?


LeBron is changing his number to 6.

you seriously typed, what i thought.  

but that ankle cut better serve some purpose..... other than that... another casual lebron kick for me...

 

[sneakerking2033]

Lebron 7's are better than these lol

 

[ruxxx]

^Have you seen the ENTIRE shoe yet?
Those pics are looking dope up there.The material looks very high in quality and durability.

 

[storm ryder]

Yeah, the cut seems a bit high, but at least the achilles notch comes way down.
So i guess they'll still be a bit mobile.
Kinda like the adidas supernatural commanders.

I said the same thing in a previous post about these. Nike Air Max Yeezys

 

[andfattoo]

outtrigger is definitely needed.

 

[johnmckoolaid]

[sexpistol032]

Im like dying to see what these badboys look like

[airkeung88]

love the flywire addition.

 

[xx legod xx]

I can picture the shoe from that pic above.

 

[executive76]

Looks pretty clean from this angle...hopefully Nike doesn't drop the ball on colorways like with the VII


I hope they don't use tumbled leather.

 

[igotthatfire247]

Looks like they've added flywire up in front "a-la-Trainer".

I see some design similarities reminiscent of the V ...

Seam on the back heel ...

Looks like it has potential ... although ...
