Here’s a first look at an upcoming colorway that might stir some controversy with the sneakerheads and basketball fans up in the New York and Cleveland. Sneaker News confirmed the release of the Varsity Royal/Total Orange-White colorway of the Air Max LeBron VIII before a preview was even available – so here’s a preliminary look at the colorway that resembles both the New York Knicks jerseys as well as the Cleveland Cavaliers Hardwood Classics throwbacks.

We also get another look at the Miami-themed LeBron 8 ‘Pre-Heat’.
