Last season, Nike fashioned an all new ‘Postseason’ shoe for LeBron James called the Nike LeBron VII P.S.. It’s purpose? To provide a lighter, easier ride for LeBron James during his quest for an NBA Championship. Swapping out the Air Max unit for a Zoom Air-cushioned midsole, the LeBron VII P.S. was the perfect package for a late season push. For this season, Nike has plans to produce a second version of LeBron James’ eighth signature shoe with a scheduled debut before the Playoffs. The LeBron 8 V2 maintains the same Air Max cushioning and silhouette as the V1, but with an all new Flywire shell that, like the P.S., offers a lighter and breathable package. A ‘luxurious’ vs. sporty’ contrast could be made, as the V1 has released in impressive leather and suede forms, but you can expect the V2 versions to feature the slicker appeal attributed to the exposed Flywire and translucent shell. Take a look at the comparisons after the jump and let us know which LeBron 8 version you prefer. via LRJ23.

Thank you! I was about to say the samething. Damn if they went through the samething last year shouldn't this yr's release already be as light as it can be instead of having to change to a different shoe again at the end of the yr.

I can see you graduated grade school with flying colors, thinking that everyone who isn't first is last. Great math and logic skills right there

A lot of hate (as usual on SN) but I think this is one of the smartest move Nike has done since the beginning of the flywire area. Not everybody likes flywire, first time I saw LBJ VIIs, I thought like "what are these plastic shoes ? What is this cheap painted nike swoosh ?", performance wise apart, a shoe is really more appealing to me when made with luxurious leather (suede or leather) than plastic/flywire.
With these Nike basically offer the consumers both choice, you are more into performance and futuristic look you go with the V2, you are more conventionnal you can go with the V1, so everybody can enjoy the LBJ VIII design, selling wise this is smart …

V3 will have the same sole as the Zoom Soldier IV & LBJ Ambassador III; Zoom in the front and Air Max 180 in the heel to make the shoe lighter. Also, just as V2 is constructed of Flywire, V3 is rumored to be totally constructed of Hyperfuse material to shave a few more ounces off the total weight of the shoe. Very excited to see what they are cooking up in the LBJ camp.

i love them both. but the v2 looks likw it would get dirty really fast.

from a ballers perspective, the v2 feels lighter and makes it easier to run back n forth in the court. Easy on your feet. I think people should shot up think. Nike is a business company and we r the suckers that buys their product and makes them richer. If you don't like the design then you go design your own and satisfy yourself. Nike can't please us all so there.
