The wide success of the LeBron VII pushed the Nike LeBron dynasty onto a course headed straight for ‘classic’ status. Many were eager to see what Nike had in store for LeBron’s eighth shoe, and Sneaker News gave you sneak peek at a silhouette, showing hints of a return of the 360-Air and a high cut. Here are some newer sneak peeks at Nike Air Max LeBron VIII (8); you can see use of carbon fiber as well as the return of Flywire material on the upper. With LeBron changing his jersey number from 23 to 6, we get a look at a logo that could be the successor to the LBJ23 logo that has donned LeBrons since the second installment. The LeBron VIII currently has a tentative release of October 1st, 2010, but we’ll keep you updated. In the meantime, check out these sneak peeks and give us your ideas on what might be on the LeBron VIII. Could it follow the Air Jordan line and infuse a cross-strap of some kind? via Metallic on NT.

ohhhh no… more flywire. flyire will never replace good leather. flywire is too flimsy for me

hope Nike would get, D.Rose, JR Smith, and Stephen Curry and make them sick shoes. ill definitely get a pair or two for each player, as long as it is low cut or mid cut.
