LeBron James’ eighth Nike Basketball signature sneaker will be remembered for its three different versions, with the ‘South Beach’ Nike LeBron 8s among the hottest releases in recent memory, and now here’s an exclamation point on the end that might go down as the quiet king of LeBron VIII colorways. We already knew that grey, black and neon looks great on LeBrons thanks to the various Dunkman drops and with DJ Clark Kent’s 112 motif takes its turn on the most luxurious of the three designs. Rich black nubuck, silver reflective 3M, neon on almost all the polymer elements; this is just a sick design, so it’s unfortunate they’ll likely end up a ‘friends & family’ inside deal. Click through to see more since that’s probably as close as you’ll ever get to a pair, and let us know how the ’112′ LeBron 8s stack up against the other colorways we’ve seen this year. via Air_Andy/R3TRO

August 8th, 2011 at 2:02 am
Figures all the best Lebrons this year are all PEs or Friends and Family
August 8th, 2011 at 2:04 am
Yeah cause you know someone who know someone who slept with your mom who gave you crabs who once wiped the sweat from my balls who once said hi to Lebron from 200 yards away that can get them made for you huh?! YEAH F-ING RIGHT!!!!!!!
August 8th, 2011 at 2:08 am

August 8th, 2011 at 2:47 am
Please CK. Dont do this too us. Let it be a HOH and nike.com exclusive!
August 8th, 2011 at 2:50 am
these are ridiculous
August 8th, 2011 at 3:05 am
Hottest lebrons ever. I hate the nines; maybe good for ballin, but no style. Loved the vii's. This is the only pair of eights I've liked at all, and I love em, and they probably won't ever release. This is probably the biggest "fuck you" from nike ever. What the french, toast?
August 8th, 2011 at 3:53 am
Ewwwww! GTFOH with that UGLINESS! Whats so special about these, except for the DJ CK logo? And JORDAN elephant print? LeBron – Jordan? GTFOH with that nasty – ass color scheme! SMFH :X
August 8th, 2011 at 4:58 am
can i haz?
August 8th, 2011 at 5:26 am
THESE NEED TO BE RELEASED. Why can't regular people get a taste of nice kicks like these?
August 8th, 2011 at 5:49 am
doesn't stack up in this CW by comparison to the 87s, AF1s or even the LBJ7s
but not bad
August 8th, 2011 at 7:03 am
damn! i gotta hit the corner and start suckin so i can get some bread to get these!!!
August 8th, 2011 at 7:21 am
oh s*** home boi try u lmaoo!!!
August 8th, 2011 at 9:42 am
another friends and family release….so every ATF guy can say were so cool again. like damn man we know Nike gives you free shit damn now let us cop, stuff like this always rubs me wrong
August 8th, 2011 at 9:44 am
thank you haterss….thank you
August 8th, 2011 at 9:52 am
Let me guess: Overseas release or Friends and Family only…
August 8th, 2011 at 9:52 am
Just had a convo with my lil cousin about These Friends and Family releases. We've decided that we know everyone would try and cop if they were to release. But instead only the ATO guys are going to get these, just so they can feel cooler than every other sneaker head. It doesn't make any since just a bunch of grown men suck'n they own… i digress. Perhapes jealousy or anger has manifested in me but come on really guys. Literally all of the best color ways of every Lebron is Friends and family.
sorry for the long post praise to the Pheniox!
August 8th, 2011 at 10:21 am
Am i the only one not feeling those?
August 8th, 2011 at 10:38 am
Friends and Family releases = WACK! This is the Dopest CW by far!
August 8th, 2011 at 1:42 pm
worst part is the original concept behind the 112 pack was too give dope releases back to the people i guess clark decided the "people" arent in his interest anymore
August 8th, 2011 at 4:31 pm
you might have to pay money though i don't think patting a buck would get you these.
August 8th, 2011 at 6:15 pm
PHUCK!!!!!!!! come'on Nike don't do it to us again….release these joints PLEASE!!!!!! (james brown voice)
August 8th, 2011 at 7:12 pm
Absolutely! But, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
August 8th, 2011 at 11:51 pm
These are over hyped i don’t see wuts so special about the same tired lime color ways or over used south beach color ways. Not impressed.
August 8th, 2011 at 11:59 pm
Better than south beaches. if you don't agree you probably like men.
August 9th, 2011 at 8:15 pm
South beaches are the worst, and these are no way better than them. Like the mid section with black nubuck, elephant print and neon accent. would have got rid of the ugly grey part, kept it black, with black laces. And swapped the sole colours around. They might have been a nice little GR cw to keep up with Kobe. But being attributed to the DJ and others in the “112″ pack, i can see they would have been a good resell value if they were ‘limited’. F&F is just indifferent, not really part of the shoe game, more just for the makers ego… pat each other on the bum etc, make em feel good about themselves. I think Mizzee would do a heaps better job of these. Even i could! But at least this guys having a go.
