they could've done better on the china's imo.
and 'P.S' means 'post-season.' i guess that's what we should expect the next lebron P.S. to have. say goodbye to zoom, and hello to max air. the hyperfuse material in those P.S.'s is the only thing i like so far.

Lebron VIII 7.5 out of 10 (performance ain't different than the 7s, so, appearance wise)
Blk/red/wht - 8/10
All black pair - 6/10
Chinas - 7/10 .......... Don't let the pic fool you..... Look how horrible the whitened VIIs were but looked dope in pics.
Overall.... If your a lebron fan, you'll cop.....
Nothing innovating man... Its F'n pissin me off....
Give us a Knicks colorway then I'll cop at retail....
The shoe ain't Retail Worthy honestly. HOH only items will sell out tho.

Ok y'all are just in denial now. If these were just a regular Nike release and not a Lebron Sig, there would be little to no interest. Air Max sucks for performance...that's with the running shoes, bball shoes, you name it. Only thing is that Air Max makes for a more dramatic VISUAL presentation than Zoom Air does. Seems like Nike is going all generic with the Lebron line just the way they did with Vince Carter after awhile. I guess since the VII's had such great commercial success Nike and Petrie are resting on their laurels with the VIII. Complacency kills.
couldnt have said it better myself.... Funny thing is one of your fraternity brothers is the one who put me on this shoe.... I saw the colorway and was like

Exactly.... it can't cost them much more to use Air Max instead of Zoom, but it 'looks good' so they push the suggested retail price up.
Heck, Nike don't even really give a *censored* if the shoe doesn't sell out at suggested retail price, all it's about is charging the retailer more for the shoe.
If it doesn't sell what else is the retailer going to order? Nike is king, and they can get away with padding the price and turning out generic looking shoes.

I really dont think they look bad at all (they look like a typical Lebron shoe), of course they arent the best looking of the line but its all about the performance for these.
