Yesterday Sneaker News reported a first look at the Nike Air Max LeBron VIII, showing you bits and pieces of the actual shoe, leaving the rest up to the imagination. The Air Max LeBron VII is surely a tough act to follow, so how will the VIII fare? Check out these new detailed teaser images of the Air Max LeBron VIII and you can get a better look at the design of the shoe – and maybe you can put together this jigsaw puzzle. This time you get a sneak peek at the lateral sidewall of the shoe and the carbon fiber/Flywire combo, but a newly designed bottom sole as well as the addition of an outrigger are the take-home notes of this preview. The attention to detail is apparent, but what made the LeBron VII so successful was that it was a simple design executed to perfection. There’s a sizeable gallery of detailed images after the jump so continue reading and see if you can create a sum of these parts, and remember to stick with Sneaker News for all info regarding LeBron eighth shoe. via LRJ23.

Honestly not liking what I see on the teasers. Looks exactly lack the VII's just a shitload more textures.

oh nike, your such a tease.

Seriously, i think the design would be a FAIL imo, the lebron 7 had a really simple design which made it real nice…this,shoe,is just like a redesign..looks clunky and generic..c'mon Nike! you were already goin' somewhere, originality wise and design wise…

Looks promising but I'll reserve judgement until the whole shoe is unveiled.

Really?? these look super wack and they got all this teaser ish.

dam man it looks really similar to the 7s. I think Lebron should have kept the 7s for a while longer cuz they're the best looking shoes he came out with in a while. But hey, its just a tease so you'll never know how it turns out.
