Nike Air Max LeBron VIII – First Look
After the teaser images hit the web, we knew it was only a matter of time until full images of the Air Max LeBron VIII were leaked. Well, here’s a first look at LeBron James eighth signature basketball shoe. Although we may not know which NBA team LeBron will play for next season, at least we know what shoes he’s going to be wearing on the hardwood.
As always, later on this year Nike will officially unveil the Air Max LeBron VIII, which will provide additional and accurate information about the LeBron VIII. In the meantime, enjoy these new images, and let us know what you think.

THE 7′S WERE NOTHING LIKE JORDAN 11′S LOL
JORDAN 11′S ARE FIRE, CRACK, AND THE BEST JORDAN EVER
LEBRON 7′S ARE UGLY,WACK, AND 1 OF THE WORST SHOES EVER
.
OH AND THESE ARE WACK TOO
.
SAY NO TO LEBRONS!!!
These are ugly in my opinion. They look like a cross between the Baron Davis Li Nings and 2010 Air maxes. Except the Li Nings look better. But to each their own. As always do you.
Yea these are clearly better than the 7. the 7′s are a typical seen before look on a shoe with the patent leather wrap around and the 7 does have some similarities to the jordan 11, enough for the lebron hero shoe to only add a few changes for it to look like the black/red jordan 11.
the lebron 8>than the lebron 7
lebron VIII is building the nike lebron legacy even better.
This looks the 7 but on steroids….not feeling this at all…lebron 7 hands down the second best…# 1 the lebrons 2
Wait… I gotta take a stand on something. firstly, these kicks look a little off from the preview pics. I could have sworn that the preview pics showed the sneaker had more detail in the flywire areas. I mean simply put, some of those shots just don’t match up to these kicks. Are these samples?
Secondly… the Air Jordan 11′s may have been the most popular sneaker in the Air Jordan line, but it is NOT the best sneaker to play in (its good, but not the best). I think the only Air Jordan to do both style and function was the Air Jordan 23. All the others either did one well or the other well. Here we have the LeBron’s and I think it will show to be a better basketball sneaker… but the looks area may not work out as well as planned. maybe a colorway change will do the trick.
Come to Chicago bron… Only way I’ll ever like you
these is straight but I love my DUNKMANS
These joints are brolic! Did they actually build the shoe around his foot for it to be this bulky…nuh uh these are a no go, lets see the red carpet CW lol
@ Sneaker Hatfield; dope as name homie
VII
Lol. Just chill folks, this shoe is a size smaller than size 9, likely a kids size.(Yes the kids size 7s didn’t have the air max unit, but this is a sample kids size so it can have an air max unit and be made in a kids size.) This is why it looks so bulky. The final version is to be much more polished and even better with the suede possibly not there, and with gold somewhere on the shoe. Yes the VII(7) were a nice shoe, but its time to get accustomed to an even better shoe(everything is better. design, materials, detail,etc) of the VIII(8). Well,I guess the haters might where kobes or jordans or the VIIs and not realize how the VIII (8) is innovative and better than the VII.
The 8> The 7
for the moment VII’s trump VIII’s..ill wait to make up my mind for sure tho..and @ PhilWil your an idiot..all of Jordans shoes were made for the best on court performance with style coming 2nd..you have to remember with time comes technology and thats why lebrons shoes have more “function” bc the technology is there..SMH..o and lastly @2010 quit writing the smae damn comments over and over it’s annoying..no one cares even if they like the VIII as much as you do
ok the vii were better but with some minor touch ups and editing this shoe could b hot. it still looks better than what they come up with for carmelos lls
Groc, no contest the LbJ 7s is A Classic! (That would of gone farther if James made the Finals and won!) But none the less I agree with ^home boy^. The 7s could be compared to the AJ11s only because in the LBJ Nike series, the 7s redefined the brand. Just like back in the 90s when the 11s hit. Setting the standard in A already deep franchise. Its to early to say the Lbj 7s are the best in the Line, but mark my words in the future they will look back and place the LbJ 7s on a pedestal!
So since we’re throwing around team colorways I think that they are going to make an exception and Lebron is going to the University of Cincinnati…. Yeah Lebron is gonna be a Bearcat CHA CHING Count it…..
VII>VIII
But, they don’t look that bad. Gotta see em in person and on feet.
Too similar to the 7′s!
I’m suprised they didn’t put straps on them lmao
I’m feelin these not gonna say better than the VII but its a close call, I think the VII had better detailing on the shoe but these seem straight to the point, great ballin kicks and the flywire carbon fiber is placed correctly on the shoe for great support, kinda remind me of the plastic wings on Jordan 4 except its the new technology.
nah
good thing they’re the bulls colors.
These should have been like the 7.5′s… Im not feeling these.. Maybe by the Lebron 10′s they will get it right… But im sure somebody like these, just not my taste
Okay, let’s just compare the two when the final version comes out atleast, or when all the VIII (8) colorways already get showed. (A Sample (the pic above) is being compared to the VII (7) which we already seen final version and many colorways) (But even the sample is a better shoe than the VII (7), not to say that the VII (7) is not nice.)Hopefully the haters and naysayers may see that the VIII (8) is even better than the VII (7).
I don’t know about the technology of the shoe but aesthetically it’s a step backward.
TOP 3 LEBRONS (this goes for me, not you)
1. White/Navy Lebron III
2. Dunkman Lebron VII
3. B Day Lebron IV
now as for the VIII, they are ok..We’ll see what other colorways Nike has to offer. But this Bred Lebron VIII makes me yawn, they dont look as hot as those Bred/Jordan XI Lebron VIIs.
the lebron 7 is only similar to the 11′s because of the patent leather. don’t get me wrong my grails are the 11, but i hate hearing people say that the 7′s look too much like 11′s. everything else on the shoe is different… stop hating people
its crazy cuz i dont even like lebrons but these i do like. might have to grab those
uggggggggggggggggggggllllllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
They look like baby shoes… All pressed together
7 !
I vote for the 7′s. These look too busy in the design.
these are cool. im sure will look better over time in the thousands of cw’s they’ll come out in. but i expected more…
