Important question fellas who have these. I hate straps on bball shoes. Most gimmicky thing I've ever seen. I was wondering would these still function properly in terms of performance if I were to remove that obnoxious gimmick of a strap? Yea those white / black speckled 8's are SUPER FLAME. I've been dying to get natural, organic old school bball shoe colorways on a nice model for sometime now. Enough of all this caryola, ghetto, juvenile, look at me highlighter color nonsense on every pair of performance sneakers now a days.
I'm pretty sure you'd compromise some of the lockdown, but it will perform just fine because of the heel counter i do have to admit, your rant at the end about all the other shoes did make me laugh
Thanks for dropping knowledge. LOL ... do you agree or disagree? Everything is overdesigned, and overcolored now. Less is more. These white / black Soldier 8 speckles are proof. As are basically every OG Jordan in existence, and most of LeBron shoes pre XIII. No more of these obnosxious colorways that don't go with ANYTHING a normal person would wear. Versatility please.
Agree. Bright colors are good for basic accenting. If you use a bright color for a good majority of the shoe, don't make the entire shoe that color, or not contrast it with dark colors. i like the og jordans though, but when you say lebron xiii didn't you mean lebron 8?
Yea, the LeBron 8 had nice normal colorways. Then everything since has been dipped in highlighters it seems.
I love rocking loud shoes with cargos or chinos and a plain nike dri fit t shirt. If you dont like em cool but no need to hate em them so hard. My what the kobe 8s are wanna my all time favs but i wear my plain black flyknit 9s all day every day.......
Wear what you want, I'm not hating. It's just my opinion. And my opinion of people who wear them. Too loud, obnoxious.
The lebron soldier 8s have really nice lock down for me and very comfortable. Although the grip was rather bad when making cuts and stepbacks because i was slipping everywhere. I've only balled in em once though so i might still need to break it in with the grip or something. The strap really helps imo.
My ID's arrived today more than happy! Had to dig my camera out apartment was flooded last week, hence the cement floor in the background.
those were the ones Bron was wearing in the pics of him @ one of his sons game. didnt htink they wer gonna release em. IM IN !
Kinda in love with these. Have a chance to pick them up at 25% off. How are people feeling these for ball? Heard the traction is good, along with the weight, but the cushioning is a bit of a let-down.
