The Nike LeBron Witness 8 Does Its Best “Red October” Impression

The LeBron Witness 8 stands a cut above the rest when it comes to budget-line signature shoes, loved for its wide selection of colorways, steady release schedule, and lower price-point compared to numbered LeBron models.

Now Nike and co. look set to release a “Habanero” colorway of the Witness 8 boasting a vibrant all-red upper. Given the shoe’s use of bright red coloring throughout, it’s easy to imagine these as the Witness Line’s take on the Red October Yeezys, although it would be more than unfair to compare a budget-line shoe to one of the most iconic Nikes of all time. Even still, the shoe is sure to draw attention on-court due to its bright palette, making it a great pickup for a large number of youth athletes whose schools boast similarly colored branding.

Enjoy official images below while we wait on more release info from Nike.
