What made the Air Max LeBron VII and LeBron 8 such a widely popular shoe was the aesthetically pleasing full-length 360 Max Air unit. Jason Petrie and crew decided to go with Zoom Air for the LeBron VII P.S., so a repeat could have been expected for this year’s post-season shoe. Sneaker News gave you a first look at the Nike LeBron 8 P.S. not long ago and obviously all eyes were set on the bottom chassis to see what the lower-half of the P.S. would entail, and we were all pleasantly surprised to see the return of Max Air – though only on the heel. Most of 1990′s Nike Basketball classics comprised of heel-only visible Air, and for the LeBron 8 P.S., we’ve got another winner on our hands. The visible Air actually stretches to the midfoot, which then makes way to Zoom Air cushioning for faster response, and the Hyperfuse upper should keep Bron’s feet cool and ventilated without compromise. Here’s a look at a Black/Red/White ‘Away’ colorway of LeBron 8 P.S.; a tonal black Fuse upper reveals a red under-layer for a two-toned effect, with a red swoosh, laces, Max Air unit, and a white midsole and swoosh border. We’ve got a detailed gallery for you below so take a look and let us know what you think. via MarqueeSole.

Ruined a classic. I hope the boost in perfermance warrants throwing design in the dumpster.

Those suck. You don't need 3 diff versions of a sig shoe. Straight overkill. And i love my Lebron 8 V1 by the way lol

not all that good looking but i am intrigued with all the nike technology (max air, zoom, carbon fiber, fuse, etc.) that was put into it. I just wanna see how the dunkmans look.

I wasn't a fan of the V3 at first, but this CW is the best so far. Why not have solid translucent soles though (v1 southbeach/ v2 allstar?) Maybe they are saving that for the DUNKMAN! V3 may be growing on me.

sick cw…horrendous shoe
February 15th, 2011 at 6:27 pm
I love my V1's too….want the All Stars but doubt I will be able to get them. I refuse to cop from a reseller…Entourages it is!!!
February 15th, 2011 at 6:29 pm
Is there a such thing as solid translucent soles?….They're either one or the other I thought. I do want to see the Dunkmans though. I hope they aren't too bad.

It's because they're strictly for ballin', not to be worn off court..

when it comes to looks Nike took 1 step foward and 3 steps back this shoe is more for performance, from what I read the shoe sounds comfortable

February 15th, 2011 at 9:03 pm

February 15th, 2011 at 9:53 pm
Wow. These are amazing.
I love the hyperfuse, best ball shoe out at the moment.

You never know, with the cocktail that is the soles of these particular shoes.

This is what I was thinking. Air Max + Carbon-fiber plate… Its like… I can't even put into words on how I think about this. I was thinking the other day, "What if the II (What I have to play ball in) had a carbon fiber plate?
