Seems like Nike is going all generic with the Lebron line just the way they did with Vince Carter after awhile. I guess since the VII's had such great commercial success Nike and Petrie are resting on their laurels with the VIII. Complacency kills.

Exactly how I feel. Aside from the switch up on the Tongue and the sole, the shoes look completely uninspired. Throw some gold on their or de designs on the upper... Do something!

[smurfdavid]

Thanks Dave

But Nike shouldve dropped the price on these

VIIs are far more superior. I'm waiting on other colorways to surface (akron,Ctk,hwc).
Def. Not copping many of these,nowhere near the amount of VIIs I bought

+2 
but I think that Nike should switch to the Air Max 360 airbag that they buried because it feels AMAZING (ask any 24/7 owners) and it would allow them to still have dramatic visual effect. Just my 2 cents.

  Somewhere Never Wear them is smilling...

hopefully they execute the knick colorway good..

all blue with some orange and white would be NICEEEEEEE

 

[never wear them]

if it looks good, I'll cop. I hope it's primarily royal with enough orange and a white midsole.

Please no speckles on the air bag, Nike. Enough of that tacky sht
