The ‘South Beach‘ theme is without a doubt one of most memorable colorways to have released in the past decade. Sure, there exists a number of detractors who want nothing to do with the bright teal and hot pink colorway, but it’s a neckbreaker nonetheless and introduced the Nike LeBron 8 in the best way possible – with a bang. In late March, Sneaker News showed you an Air Jordan VI ‘South Beach’ custom, which garnered a positive reaction from many of our readers. Will an Air Jordan ‘South Beach’ colorway ever release? That’s unlikely to happen, but until then, we can expect sneaker customizers to continue with the South Beach movement, like this recent Air Jordan VII ‘South Beach’ done by Da Prince Customs. There are a few elements of the Air Jordan VII that don’t permit this custom to be a perfect translation of the LeBron 8 ‘South Beach’ (like a translucent outsole, for one), but still, a job well done. Check out the extra images below and let us know what you think of this custom piece! via NK.

May 6th, 2011 at 6:05 pm

May 6th, 2011 at 6:05 pm
so they painted the orions blue…and threw on some dumb pink laces.
funny thing is theyd sell out. but for real these uglyy
May 6th, 2011 at 6:06 pm
actually looks pretty fresh. they look better on the 7s then the lebrons. haha
May 6th, 2011 at 6:07 pm
I swear almost anything looks good in a south beach colorway…haha
May 6th, 2011 at 6:09 pm
Did they use the Orion's as the base?
May 6th, 2011 at 6:09 pm
These are freakin sick!!!!
May 6th, 2011 at 6:10 pm
People are gonna ride this until the wheels disintegrate. They're past falling off.
May 6th, 2011 at 6:10 pm
These are real nice in my opinion at least. The Lebron's are still the nicest though…
May 6th, 2011 at 6:11 pm
Just my opinion, but these shit on the Lebron South Beaches
May 6th, 2011 at 6:12 pm
These are awful. The Air Jordan VI 'South Beach' >>>>>>>> these.
May 6th, 2011 at 6:13 pm
better than the orions.. pretty sure thats what were used for these.
May 6th, 2011 at 6:14 pm
Nice but my boy Eric's 6s were cleaner.
May 6th, 2011 at 6:16 pm
not everything needs a south beach colorway.
But these are way better then the dunk customs
May 6th, 2011 at 6:17 pm
The 6's were better
May 6th, 2011 at 6:19 pm
No no no gud effort doe
May 6th, 2011 at 6:22 pm
Im Really Feeling These,
With The Icy Sole It Would Be Killer!
But Hey The Lebron 8s Still Have The Crown Of Lookin The Best in This Colorway.
-In My Opinion.*
May 6th, 2011 at 6:23 pm
Gay.
May 6th, 2011 at 6:26 pm
i have to say that is a sick concept tho..
May 6th, 2011 at 6:29 pm
uhhhhh….. NO! Wade got a south beach colorway of his PE. The Orion 7's are close enough.
May 6th, 2011 at 6:31 pm

May 6th, 2011 at 6:32 pm
Air jordan 7 South Beach > Fly Wade South Beach
May 6th, 2011 at 6:44 pm
i would rather buy these than just the orion's they're pretty straight to me
May 6th, 2011 at 6:57 pm
just because south beaches work doesnt meen this color way works with every shoe
May 6th, 2011 at 7:09 pm
Painted the upper blue, painted the Jumpman in the same hue as the laces, fabric dyed the tongue the same hue of pink as well, painted the outsole peaks in pink, painted the heel tab in pink, painted the midsole black, painted the ankle pads black, fabric dyed the inner lining black, fabric dyed the pull tab……….and then just threw on some pink laces. Riiiiiight.
Yeah, I'm sure it was easy………..

May 6th, 2011 at 9:01 pm
I would rock em, but I would change the laces first… Not a huge fan of the pink laces on really any shoe.

If these were an OG colorway, you hypebeast fags would be lining up to "cop these neckbreakin fiya str8 heat holygrails". These are cool and better than the lebrons, I decided.
May 7th, 2011 at 1:47 pm

May 7th, 2011 at 5:04 pm
the name "south beach" doesnt sell every shoe considering the south beach viz comforts didnt sell off the racks and neither will the fly wades im not sayin these are great but they arent bad either but you have to appreciate the skill it takes to make these and stop sayin the word hype because you cant fucking hype a shoe that isnt coming out
May 7th, 2011 at 10:33 pm
That bitch looks like a man!
May 8th, 2011 at 6:25 am
The south beach colorway shouldn't be raped imo..you can't just "south beach" anything, but great effort though
May 8th, 2011 at 10:58 am
i liked the 6's in the sout beach color-way but this is some bullshit men..
May 8th, 2011 at 6:32 pm
these arent bad actually. but making everything south beach colorways is ridiculous yo…….please chill out w that. cuz the South Beach Lebrons are coo, just extremely gased up.
