Nike Air Foamposite Pro – Retro – Black “South Beach”

The upcoming Nike Air Foamposite Pro in the electrifying Retro Blue and Black colorway does have some similarities to the Nike LeBron 8 ‘South Beach’ that released last year. The Foamposite has that bright blue upper, the black trim, and a translucent outsole (close enough to ‘Filament Green’ on the LeBron 8s), but it was still missing that ‘umph’, which is effortlessly provided in ample amounts by even the slightest hints of hot pink. So, without having to make any major structural changes to the shoe, we slapped on some hot pink laces

to see if this easy ‘South Beach’ fix-up would translate as well as we thought it would – but you be the judge. To keep it true to the LeBron 8 styling, we chose the thick, flatter laces found on the Nike LeBron 8, and a quick 5-minute lace-swap produced an even snazzier pair of Foamposites that would lead to other sneakerheads spending the extra $3 for new laces.
