The U.S. release date of the Nike LeBron 8 ‘China’ has been pushed back until December, but here’s a new colorway of the LeBron 8 for you to ponder for a bit. This new colorway features a White and Sport Red upper – similar to the LeBron 8 ‘China’ – but with a larger emphasis of Sport Red on the upper. The borders of the Flywire-carbon composite panels feature the high-contrast color as does the upper half of the midsole. However, this colorway doesn’t feature any sort of ‘China’ branding as the fierce Lion has replaced the traditional Chinese version, but does feature the same speckled Air Unit as well as other accents. These are likely a Home colorway for LeBron James as it matches the Miami Heat uniforms quite perfectly, so take a look at the gallery after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for all Nike LeBron updates. via MarqueeSole.

These are dope. I'd cop if they weren't coming out so close to the red/white XIII's.

THESE COOL IF U LIKE BUYING A LOSER'S SHOE!!! UNTIL HE WINS A RING, I AIN'T BUYIN SHIT FROM HIM!!!

One thing about every single LeBron shoe to have released: they're all the "Un-Championships".
October 29th, 2010 at 6:36 pm
Your right about him not having a ring. However people still cop Lebron VII's & VIII's. Charles Barkley never won a ring but people still cop his shoes as well. Allen iverson never won one but the Reebok ? is still a hot shoe. Finally Chris Webber never won a ring but the Nike Air Max Sensation well always be a hot shoe. The fact that you won't buy his shoes just because he doesn't have a ring only makes you look like the real loser.

China's are way better more sleek looking.
October 29th, 2010 at 8:45 pm
Far too much red, where the chinas look sleek these look bulky …

McDonald's hands similar shoes out to their employees for free. Got to be the ugliest shoes I've ever seen. Does anyone buy any of this Nike crap?
