Brons are taking the same cycle Jordans took when they were relevant (numbered.) Speculation>Sketches>Blurry Pics>Mixed reactionetailed Pics> Hate>More Pics> everyone loves them just in time for RD.

Hideous.

 

[jfmartimcdandruff]

We need pictures of the Knicks/hwc colorway

 

[nat turner]

Boy, Nike made a huge mistake with these!  

I love LeBron's game, but Nike did him dirty on this one!

 

[royalflush1230]

Them Blackouts Terrible lmao...i need a better pic, or maybe different lebrons.

wouldn't be surprised if they don't make a HWC colorway for these....now that he is in Miami there is no point...the Heat have no uniform that consist of those colors...but I could be wrong

 

[thapointguy]

Where can I get the Blackouts? Marqueesole sold out.

 

[noblekane]

i think the black/red/white ones should have been leather and the blackouts should have been suede...

 

[bdis1986]

the laces are to tightt on the blackouts loosen them homie

 

[elderwatsondiggs]

I tried and tried and tried to lie to myself...but these are GARBAGE!! The VII's were a smash hit, so I wonder how they took such a step backwards with the VIII. We need a new designer, a new and fresh direction. Welp...guess it's the ZKVI's for me this year.

this colorway is garbage of course as is any all black sneaker but more of the other colorways for me homie 

 

 

[l knicks fresh knick l]

Props to Useless actually posting pics for others..

how are y'all deeming these WACK already? we seen 4 colorways and still have a WHOLE SEASON LEFT

we only seen 2 pics of people wearing them on feet, we haven't seen the Knicks or the MIAMI VICE colorway yet, give this shoe some time.

 

[royalflush1230]

^Don't put me in that inclusion lol...i said the blackouts terrible...I hate all black Lebrons..I'm waitin on the other colorways to drop.

 

[l knicks fresh knick l]

naw never that royal, that was towards people saying 8 = garbage already ..

 

[never wear them]

Those black outs are seriously Horrible on feet. And I know it ain't cuz how guy is rockin em.
Every damn year.... We get a blackout sig from lebron and they end up for free on shelves. Can we get a better color!

And those Chinas looked better in pics....
No reason to get those (in my book) unless your a fan of lebrons shoes.

 Well, I had to switch laces... they came with regular flat laces, which isn't supposed to be on them.
I honestly like the all-black colorway [you guys can call me crazy, haha] but yeah, I see everyone's point about them; my first initial impression was that they do indeed look like boots. No disrespect to JP, but Ken Link should've stayed with the LeBron line.
