The hottest trend in sneaker customization lately has been appropriating colorways from other high profile releases. The Nike LeBron 8 was particularly popular as a canvas for this kind of expression, colorways ranging from Air Jordan imitations to allusions to earlier LeBron standouts. This latest example comes from a guy responsible for getting the first ‘Dunkman’ edition LeBron 8s out there, a custom job also borrowing from the Zoom LeBron IV ‘Graffiti’ in an exclusive story here on Sneaker News this March. Conor Burns aka C4‘s Nike LeBron 8 BHM takes its inspiration from the latest round of Black History Month releases, their black and gold styling also a reminder of the Air Jordan Defining Moments Package. So is this BHM/DMP LeBron 8 the best custom job we’ve seen on this model? Click through for more images and leave a comment to let us know where they rank. via c4/UPandCOMING32 on NT.

I always wondered why Nike didn't do a lbj 8 bhm seein as how they did pretty much every other sneaker in their basketball collection, but if they did it would probably look something similar to this…big ups to c4, they look clean and official
