Nike LeBron 8 Retro

[FlightNikes]

I never owned a pair prior to the retro. I’m a wide footer and I’ll say this.. For TTS ,with them loosened and unlaced they are a little “snug” like my toes are lightly pressed against the toe box, but when I tie the up(for whatever reason) more space seems to be created and they feel “1-to-1”. I’m only using mine for casual purposes as I’m not planning to ball in them, if you are planning to, Whitt what I said considered you might want to go half a size up if you prefer more room, if not go TTS..

^ This is the exact truth about the shoe. You are right Jacktown83.

UN-DS’d my Space Jams today & they are such comfortable shoes even being snug, I love feeling the tech under the foot, very noticeable. Amazing shoe. 1 of the best shoes ever imo. LOVE lebron 8’s Keep these coming in other colors Nike. Easily became one of my favorite shoes ever today! Again, the feeling of the tech underfoot is amazing to feel.

Edit:

2:55am & I just copped Gym reds off of StockX, first time using StockX. Let’s hope this turns out a good experience. Hope they get here fast, I love crackled leather. China Brons for my partly Asian self

Lebron 8’s grew on me heavily today. I just love the stance.

Lebron 8 - A MUST HAVE SHOE for everyone, even those that are not into shoes. Atleast just one pair. Go half size up or tie your laces if you buy true to size. They’re an experience.

Are the sprites as tight as the south beaches?

Congrats!! I’m glad you found my suggestion helpful(albeit with some autocorrect errors I didn’t proof read)! LOL! I’m planning to jump the Gym Red’s and the Lakers too!

They damn near giving the Sprites away
Makes me feel crazy for paying $195 (size 13.5) and that’s not even a bad price

 

[FlightNikes]

The Lebron 8 is the Air Jordan XI of the lebron line.

Really love this shoe a WHOLE LOT!!

I want lots of colorways. Had no idea what I been missing out on for so many years. My only other Lebron shoe was the Lebron 3 Black & Gold. Those got down for me back in 2006 - 2007.

They should've retroed the Solar Reds.

I really wish they would release more V1’s in different colors like a galaxy would have been dope!

 

[greekgator]

Only cw I'm bummed they didnt do were the Christmas 8s. But who knows...maybe will be a shock drop for Christmas...

It just needs better CWs.

They should never stop making this shoe!

If Christmas wasn’t coming up I would have bout like 5 Lebron 8’s right now. 2 would be doubles. Tryna be cautious going into Christmas, you dig?

Crazy cause my Lebron 3’s were purchased back in 2006-2007 to keep me motivated & happy thru a tough job & here we are again in a tough job but a much better company in Lebron 8’s. Pure Coincidence or am I just prone to riding with Lebron shoes when there’s heavy stress?? Maybe it’s instincts to reach out to him for these types of situations? W I T N E S S.

I wish for a Tuxedo Colorway. Like all black everything including the bags With a white Lion Tongue, black eyes & a white swoosh on back. It would be a fire setup, especially in a Tuxedo suit. ‍

Tuxedo these but swap the black leather for multi-directional suede, white Lion tongue upper, not the mesh of the tongue.. leave that black & white or white bordered swoosh. Ooof!! Fire Tuxedo!! Basically the lion tongue pull tab as the white bow tie on the Tuxedo of the shoe. Possibly even do a duo drop with an all white version of it with a black lion bow tie. Vice Versa drop -

Maybe drop them when we induct Lebron into the Hall of Fame? So he can Brandish a Fuego Tuxedo to the event? Type **** that makes you wanna call somebody to go get married so you rock these joints with a Tuxedo. - it don't matter you can get a Divorce tomorrow after i get to wear these joints with a Tux. One.

Anyone have a good source for 7 and 8 replacement laces?

 

[DAV]

Grabbed these for $150
My OG pair of SB 8s were a 10.5-9.5 mismate that I didn’t even realize was two different sizes for like a whole year.

 

[romcadoo]

Can anyone that has both South Beach releases comment on differences in color, fit, shape, and materials?

Hard to show in pictures you can see it better in person.
Cameras alters colors a lot

 

[romcadoo]

With no LeBron XIXs in sight decided to go back and grab these.
While the white laces make them pop for sure I went with purple for now.
Not sure when I’ll rock them.


Will take some real pictures later.

Retros are serviceable, but it's clearly a difference.

So much of a difference, that I aint been in a hurry to cop.

That’s what I’m gathering without seeing the retro in person. The originals were the greatest unboxing experience I’ve ever had but I went TTS and the were never comfortable. I wish I would have cashed out at the peak but now I’m looking to off them for a pair that fits. Been on the fence between new and old.

These NT adds are annoying

How so?

 

[headdetective]

If you can’t see it yourself, disregard.

Respectfully.

 

[rbk93]

Hopefully they'll do the Triple Blacks justice whenever that retro comes around.

I’m looking at OG’s right now. No, I can’t see it. Enlighten me. Honestly, I want know haha

 

[rbk93]

There's a comparison post like 10 posts up. It's not a huge difference, but it's there.
