The hot LeBron-related topic has been the Miami-Vice inspired colorway of the Nike Air Max LeBron VIII titled ‘Pre-Heat’. In this second preview, we get a look at the actual LeBron VIII ‘Pre-Heat’ which features a bright ‘Retro’ (an aqua blue-ish color) upper with a black midsole and lace placket. Additional Pink Flash trim is used on the lace eyeles, tongue border, and autograph insignia on the heel to finish off the Miami look. The black swoosh is also encapsulated in a clear jewel swoosh. Perhaps a hot pink speckling on the Air Unit like that seen in the LeBron VIII ‘China’ would’ve set these off even more, but this eye-catching colorway is already one of the more anticipated LeBron VIII colorways thus far. Take another look after the jump and for Miami residents, watch for these to drop at the new House of Hoops location in Miami on October 16th, other select Miami-based shops on the 17th, and for everyone else, on Nikestore on November 12th. via sneaker_pimps.
Style: 417098-401
Color: Retro/Black-Pink Flash-Filiment Green

Terror-ble – big bulky blue shoes – UGLY!!!
October 7th, 2010 at 1:03 pm
I was just about to say that. The cut of the shoe reminds me of the Yeezys too.

all of ya dont know nothing, these are the best lebrons to date. I thought nike couldn't make a pair of basketball sneakers look good with flywire technology but when u add a hot model. a vibrant color, speckles and 360 unit, well god damn, u get these beauties. And for all of you still pissed about lebron picking miami as his destination choice, you can't be upset he's next in line to be the greatest, and with all do respect the cavaliers didn't help him win a ring, now his chances of getting a ring are greater, will he get one, only time will tell but for now enjoy his new team and his new shoe. And shut upppp!!!
October 7th, 2010 at 1:45 pm
Normally I think leBron's are trash, but these are Amazing..
October 7th, 2010 at 2:26 pm

October 7th, 2010 at 2:26 pm

October 7th, 2010 at 7:32 pm

October 7th, 2010 at 7:37 pm

October 8th, 2010 at 10:06 am
