LeBron VII or LeBron VIII?
WTF?….enough said
Lebron VII all day
Lebron VII for sure. kinda mixed feelings on these. not great but its not that bad imo.
That shoe looks like it ate too many cheeseburgers in the off season.
Not feelin these at all.
Mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
I wanted these to be the best Lebron ever but these sh*ts is UGLY!
Maybe they’ll grow on me…hopefully they do…but the 1st impression is hell na
lol I take that back…they already grew on me a little bit lol They’re not terrible…they straight/aight. Better colorways will make them better
VII >>> VIII
NUFF SAID. Not the best but these are ok.
Let the hating begin… I can’t hate though. I Like em. I was expecting something a little more flashy but thats hard to do with a BRED colorway anymore. They do look heavier but you can’t tell til ya try em. I think they will have a lot more support all around compaired to the VII. I can’t wait to put my feet in a pair of these!
forgot to add. Plus their Heat colors (wink)
Wow…I’d have to say that these are better than the VII. These are sick (Everything from the design to the details and carbon fiber/flywire, etc. I think these were said to be projected to perform better than the VII as well.) This pic might be of a kids size and kids sizes tend to look bulkier.
People may hate, but we are witnessing the legacy of the Nike LeBron line. This is sole sickness, and worth all the teasers.
This reminds me of when the first VII pictures were shown, and reactions were very similar to this. I guess some people tend to dislike things they are anxious for or tend to dislike LeBron shoes. I don’t know. Jason Petrie did an even better job this time.
Lol, they tried toooooooo hard. The 7s was simple but awesome at the same time. I won’t b coppin any of these. I hate em to be honest.
They’re not bad, they just look bulky and it’s ALWAYS been the case with LeBron’s shoes. After all, they are made for a 6’8, 250 lbs guy that moves as good as any guard in the league. That’s a lot of torsion on almost 2hrs of ball playing so they have to be made though so they have to be made though, hence the bulkiness. These are not bad, I like the combination of flywire/suede on those.
@ A.I. actually their bulls colors:)
these might be good for basketball but they’re just not a nice shoe
Maybe the final version might have some gold in it, and the suede parts replaced with natural leather. The heel/ankle area looks nice as well as the carbon fiber/flywire and the lion logo. The VIIs had to catch on, they were hated more than this when the first pics came out. These are dope with the design, materials, and details.
UBER UGLY!
VII
VII’s>VIII’s. These aren’t bad. They look comfortable. But im sure he didn’t win any people over with these.
These might actually be on my feet at some point in time. If I see detailed pictures. I really think that these can be much better than the VII. My opinion though.
VIII(8)> VII(7). The 7 design was kind of simple and seen before on other shoes (ex:patent leather wrap around, swoosh in middle). This is different in a sick way with the soon to be natural leather instead of suede and the carbon fiber/flywire and all of the details and overall design. I guess some people don’t like what they aren’t accustomed to seeing. Well, I guess some of us might see this in the future.
I’m not a fan of speckling on any shoe, but Swooshes on the toe box get me every time. Can’t wait to see it in a contrasting colorway. Also a little Lebron 4 feel to ‘em.
This looks like a fat, ugly cousin of the LeBron 7′s……The 7′s were sooooo nice and these are soooooo bad
not an official hot shoe… but the CW hints at LBJ heading to Chi (thanks to CAA)
.
Lebron’s have never been neck breakers… but they’ve been great basketball sneakers… I’ll fuck wit dem’….
.
I know I don’t belong with most sneaker heads today because I’m not into retro’s… I think modern sneakers like these are worth more than a retro
the lebron 7 deff shits on the lebron 8
Them look fat, bulky, and heavy as hell. They’re pretty ugly too. Nbs
The 7 are nice. But they don’t even touch this innovative sample shown above.
The 8 is better with the design/look(it’s not generic and seen before like the 7 with the patent leather wrap around that many other shoes have, 7 has basic boring design compare to the 8 sample design), the details, the materials, the lion logo, etc. Jason Petrie did a better job and improved with the 8.
I like a lot of aspects of this shoe. I just don’t know if they put it together in the best way. I liked the preview shots more than these “fully revealed” shots lol. Overall these aren’t bad … but as of now I’d say the VIIs >> VIIIs. But I bet these look pretty good on feet…
idk, there ok….gunna have to wait and see more.
I like the lebron 7′s better. still need to get a pair before footlocker sells out. now the lebron 8′s, those look like they ate The Lebron 1-7 and drunk a gallon of gatorade with them.
Wait til the final version is unveiled, and yes I’m sure more people may understand that the VIII(8)> VII(7).
Throw these in the furnace. Lebrons suck.
hmmm i think these are fake..this reminds me wen they were showing pics of the zoom soldier 4′s n there abunch of different models they were showing and after all of dat they didnt even release any new zoom soldiers. so i think thats what these are. if u saw any of the supposed zoom soldier pics u cud see dat dey looked pretty much like the zoom soldier three just wit a few changes added. and these are pretty much lookin like the Lebron 7′s just wit a few changes. i mean the overall silhouette pretty much looks like the 7, just the fly wire’s in diffrent places and the sole’s traction patterns different but dats basicly it. they actually look like rejected models for the 7 if u ask me.
=/
Bulls colorway tho…YEA!
But see people the reason these are bulky (Like the VII’S). Is cause there gonna make 4 versions of the same shoe(Like the VII’s. To try nd make any possible money cause there Lebrons shoe(Like the VII’S. nd there gonna show us like 492404290342384 cw’s of all of them (Like the VII’s). Nd Im prolly just gonna buy 1 (Like the VII’s).
Hmmmm wonder why my “)” didnt show up twice. Srry. Well yall get the point.
I think in all black or all white they’ll look a little better. VII’s definitely FTW!!
trash
VII’s are better but I’m hoping this colorway is for Chicago
the shoe look weird cuss its a GS. not adult right?
I didn’t know spider man played ball!
UMMMM IDK ABOUT THESE….
All His Shoes Was Trash IMO, But One iForgot Which One Tho & These Jus Eghuuccckk (Pusha T Voice)
Are they tryna do a Jordan thing makin the 8 look similar to the 7?? and with that said shouldn’t they be movin forward with these kicks?? these SUCK! they ddnt even try on these, they jus stuck some flywire on there and were like ‘here’..
I hope they plan to make some adjustments….. anyway, BULLS COLORS!!!??? hhmmmm..
Nike isn’t welling to make the neccesary risk on the Lebron line. That is what will kill his sneakerline
Let’s hope the shoe loses a few pounds before it hits the shelves. It has potential.
If you aint already cop, you could save 30 bucks. Finish Line got the Oreos,Pistons, and Laker 6s for $119.99
.
Thank Me Later
kinda dissapointed i was hopin to rele lik the VIIIs, well hopefully they grow on me with the trillion colorways they come up with
I EFFING LOVES THESE, PLEASE DONT CHANGE ANYTHING…….THE 7S WHERE TOO MUCH LIKE JORDAN 11, I LOVE A SNEAKER THAT HAS IT’S OWN IDENTITY. I’M COPPING ASAP, SHOUT OUT TO GOOD SATURDAY CLOTHING BRAND
Both are ugly ass shoes. Infact the only nice Lebrons were the 3s. Hope the newer Kobes dont look overweight too.
post season depression will bring this type of monstrosity out of you. Good luck to Lebron and Nike, as I don’t see shoes this fugly ever selling out.
