Will we ever see a sig like this, from his line again?

the only problem that this shoe had was the tab on the back. other than that...

His line coulda been so dope if he continued with these

that sample pic reminds me.... since we hardy have any info on these (lbj VIII) and there's been a pretty much negative response to the early pics, is it possible that they're doing something different to these as well?

i mean.. we've hardly had any pics and training camp is in a few weeks... somethings not right here lol

I was thinking the same thing...I just say they release the Zoom Powers and get it over with lol

The IVs are the Best of the LeBron line.  Best look, best use of technology (foams in a sig?  yes, please), most original.  
ps-

Not that price is everything, but wouldn't the IVs be the most sought after by collectors anyways?  Dang, how much do Fruity Pebbles IVs run?

I love the 4's, but man those fruity pebbles suck sooo bad...

    Collectors in general? no.

USA's 

 

[cbfpunch]

i'm liking the USA's. especially the carbon fiber/flywire areas. something is still off about it though.. maybe the laces? navy laces?

 

[elijahbrohammed]

The red tongue looks TERRIBLE on the "USA" VIIIs.

 

[23rakim45]

These are the first pictures of a REAL colorway that have me actually standing up and taking notice. About time, but I want to see something even better from these.

 

[royalflush1230]

Them joints straight...They need to stick with the Leather....CLEARLY LOL

 

[23rakim45]

And oh yeah, I'm feeling the view of these Black Outs, reminds me of some Foams. Anybody else see that? Purely just a passing comment really...

 

[thapointguy]

yup that's what i thought too. the lacing area looks exactly like the foams.

 

[jayzrdead]

Man pxeople been slamming the VIII probably for him leaving IMO but them USA are sick and people should have known better.

 

[dmxgod]

The red tongue is a lil OD..but i like it..dope colorway

 

[bahunt8]

Some navy laces and the USA's are a go.

 I'll nvr let these go <3)

I was sad to see those Birthday IVs go, but I know they went to a loving home and are well taken care of.
That OG colorway of the III's is pretty much my favorite LeBron shoe of all. I still have a pair on ice.

Wow, the pictures of the Birthday IVs got me so hyped I went out immediately and got a pair on the Bay.  How Does $79 bucks shipped sound for a DS pair with the case? 

ps- I like the Olympic VIII's.  The Red tongue actually sets them off.  With just white or blue, the shoe would be too plain.

 

[bns1201]

IV >>> your favorite shoe's favorite shoe


the 8's arent lookin so hot tho. i wanna see some heat colors

Now we're talking.

No. The swoosh is still way too big for this shoe, and with this color it makes it seem as if LeBron is about to suit up with Ringling Brothers, instead of the Heat. The swoosh on the 3 is perfect, subtle, then allowing the shoe to have its own personality.  

 

[andfattoo]

yep......... the red tongue kind of kills the shoe a lil, but its generally looking good. i wonder if they are gonna have a regular white/navy cw. They really need to.

 

[l knicks fresh knick l]

Those USA are horrible..

IMO for them to make a hot colorway for this shoe, the Shoe has to me mostly ONE based colorway..

Nike / JASON petrie STOP GIVING us WHITE BASED SHOES...

 

[blakmn89]

tongue on da 8s needs more navy & white on it. also all blk cw look good & cant wait 2 c em in person

 

[thekidfrankie]

trash. swoosh looks stupid also

 

[jumpmanfan1]

Yo these ain't nothin but some wanna be Barkley's...
