The release of the Nike LeBron 8 ‘South Beach’ kicked off LeBron’s reign in Miami, depicting a tropical colorway that we all associate with the sunny beaches of the city. It served as a worthy prologue to one of the most controversial seasons in NBA history, and as the sun sets on LeBron’s first season in South Beach, Nike will release the Nike LeBron 8 V/2 Low ‘Miami Night’ – a multicolored variety depicting a chaotic scene rife with fireworks and confetti. Unfortunately LeBron didn’t have much to celebrate at the end of his first season, as he and his Heat brethren were cooled off in six games by the Dallas Mavericks, but it was certainly a memorable first season nonetheless. Did Nike and LeBron James have any special plans for this unique colorway, given the festive design – possibly an Independence Day release for its red/white/blue colorway, or did they have another celebration in mind?

July 6th, 2011 at 3:29 pm
does anyone have a feeling if these will get hyped like pre heats ?
July 6th, 2011 at 3:30 pm
needs lace swap to black then these will be fire
July 6th, 2011 at 3:30 pm
Pretty Unique Colorway , Jason Pietre is Official
July 6th, 2011 at 3:30 pm
The gays in Miami will be all over these shoes. Nike has been courting the gay population with these pastel colored shoes. The south beaches, the fly wade south beach themed shoes, and now these. Whenever I see someone wearing these, I'll know they're proudly repping their gay Pride.
July 6th, 2011 at 3:32 pm
Look at how rare and valuable the pre heats are now.
July 6th, 2011 at 3:35 pm
unique but easy pass
July 6th, 2011 at 3:39 pm
They're like a unique painting, every angle tells a story. The V2 continues to cement it's place in Nike history.
July 6th, 2011 at 3:45 pm
MUST COP MUST COP MUST COP….!!!
July 6th, 2011 at 3:45 pm
these are fire
July 6th, 2011 at 3:47 pm
wow im not gonna make the same mistake as last time with the pre heats i cant lie these are good
July 6th, 2011 at 4:05 pm
haha, good one
July 6th, 2011 at 4:06 pm
I buy more nike's then I do Jordan but I could never get into the L.James series the only pair I got was the viii ps
July 6th, 2011 at 4:08 pm
back on those Lebron 9 teaser pics some guy who was a sneaker store manager commented that when he typed "Lebron 9" into his system something called "Miami Nights" came up…must've just been these…i still hope they do a South Beach themed LB 9 though
July 6th, 2011 at 4:10 pm
NOT BAD AT ALL. I'M NOT GOING OUT OF MY WAY TO GET THEM BUT IF I SEE THEM I'LL PICK EM UP
July 6th, 2011 at 4:12 pm
kinda on the fence.. like the design/thought but im not sold on it
July 6th, 2011 at 4:15 pm
whatever u say sally,haha sally thats a gay name
July 6th, 2011 at 4:15 pm
AND THE IGNORANT COMMENT OF THE DAY GOES TO! DRUMROLL PLEASE!
July 6th, 2011 at 4:20 pm
its really a toss up with these…depends how you rock them…these aren't worth kind of hype tho
July 6th, 2011 at 4:33 pm
sooooo fk ugly
July 6th, 2011 at 4:46 pm
I seriously dont even know how the south beaches got as hyped as they did. These are kinda booch. They woulda been better for hype if they did the same concept but stuck with the true south beach colors and made the outsole clear. … cuz right now anything with pink or blue or green or teal or any variation is considered miami or south beach and that to me is weak
July 6th, 2011 at 4:46 pm
these r wack!!!!!
July 6th, 2011 at 4:56 pm
Overhype… ugly
July 6th, 2011 at 4:59 pm
these are an easy pass for me. but not a bad attempt on behalf of nike. these are a lil too much for me. creative colorway tho.
July 6th, 2011 at 4:59 pm
You Mad Cause Im Stylin on You with My South Beaches?? And Mad cause they Cost $1,000 Now??
July 6th, 2011 at 5:21 pm
I had that same shirt.
July 6th, 2011 at 5:24 pm
They're summer kicks, that's all I can say
July 6th, 2011 at 5:54 pm
YOU KNOW WHAT I CHANGE MY MIND. I'M GETTING THESE BECAUSE I LIKE BREAKING PPLS NECKS LOL. THIS IS THE SHOE THAT'LL DO IT. DON'T CARE WHAT ANYBODY ELSE THINKS. I LIKE THESE
July 6th, 2011 at 5:57 pm
if they woulda made that red southbeach pink these woulda been better than the hightop southbeaches and woulda been a cop x2 for me!!!! high top lebron shoes SUCK, so lets make a low top south beach shoe then so i will buy them. high top shoes suck i dont wrestle and im not going hiking
July 6th, 2011 at 6:00 pm
I have to admit they catched my eye at first sight.
Don't get me wrong, nice creative colorway, but I can't really imagine wearing them.
One of those shoes that look nice on display, but look odd on daily wear.
July 6th, 2011 at 6:33 pm
These would look mad dope if they weren't low tops. But the colorway is real interesting. I'd love to see someone rock these
July 6th, 2011 at 6:49 pm
Lebron lows are hideous!!!!!! These would be dope high
July 6th, 2011 at 7:01 pm
jason petrie did it againg
July 6th, 2011 at 7:48 pm
And that's why you're a queer. Now go break some dick necks faggot
July 6th, 2011 at 8:37 pm
They are pretty cool but there are too many other kicks I don't have that I am trying to get to fit these in so I will pass.
July 6th, 2011 at 8:47 pm
Hope I dont pay "South Beach Gwap" on these, they're really creative in colors
July 6th, 2011 at 8:56 pm
Here we go!!!!!!!! anytime you throw the "South Beach" or "Sprite " or any other name on a Lebron release its always taken too far with the hypebeast smh.
July 6th, 2011 at 9:10 pm
thats how the pre heats come off as, look what happened to them!!!
July 6th, 2011 at 9:22 pm
only missing the pick laces ……lmfao (pre-heats)
July 6th, 2011 at 9:26 pm
Would only buy to resell. These could probably go For a good amount
July 6th, 2011 at 10:10 pm
Unique, I'd cop for the right price.
July 6th, 2011 at 10:14 pm
They should have changed the name from the "Miami Nights" to the "Jacques Cousteaus". You know the l8te french explorer because the shoe reminds me of an underwater reef.
July 6th, 2011 at 10:46 pm
This shoe looks like a bleeding Orca whale….
July 6th, 2011 at 11:28 pm
I want the tongue and the lining to be in the same color as the outsole
July 7th, 2011 at 12:11 am
lets see what 9s look like already lol…
July 7th, 2011 at 12:19 am
I'd let some hot guy suck my dick while wearing these
-
July 7th, 2011 at 1:23 am
I like'em too, but I think they need more black. What I don't get is why a shoe called Maimi Nights have so much white???
July 7th, 2011 at 1:49 am
THE GIFT AND THE CURSE ON ONE HAND THEY WILL BRING YOUR NECKBREAKERY TO UNFATHOMABLE RIGHTS ON THE OTHER THERE WILL BE AN EXPONENTIAL INCREASE IN HYPEBEASTERY….YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
July 7th, 2011 at 4:22 am
limited to 500 pairs
July 7th, 2011 at 4:35 am
to me it looks like all the lbjs put together creating a frankinstein beautiful to some people ugly to others
July 11th, 2011 at 1:23 am
Going to be overhyped. Not good, not bad.
