THE OFFICIAL LEBRON VIII THREAD Updated V3 release 4/16/2011

[justhotkicks]

Still disappointed in the V2. The sample version of the V2 I saw is NOT the released version...the lace placket construction was completely different.

Time to stock up on 7s.

Marquettesole? 

Ha, seriously though.  He is saying the ones pictured are different than the samples he saw. 

 

[oreomamba21]

How is the fit compared to the VIIs?

 

[sn3akerh0lic80]

the 7's are so much better... the 8's look crazy lightweight, but the overall look is kinda weird to me. I'm just saying...

 

[thapointguy]

According to the new Eastbay catalog the 8s weigh 16.6oz. Not bad considering how much features it has on it. Breds are growing on me.

There are basically the same level as the VII:

But the V/2 should become might become the lightest sig Bron to date.

Does anyone have an idea of what the release of the South Beach VIII's is going to be like??

I don't think it will be crazy like some HOH locations, but I would recommend getting there as early as you can just in case.

Excuse my ignorance (been out of the game for a while) but how early we talking? Like before it opens early?

Do they have people out there waiting in line like they used to for all the old jordan releases back in the day?

Imma be there at like 12Am camping heavy till they open lol...I'm driving 3 hours to get to that HOH. I will get these damn shoes. haha

Let me know man....
We can link up... 
Hit one of the bars across the street earlier in the day...

I thought they were "PRE-HEATS"/ "SOUTH BEACHES" not Miami Vice...Either way, you can shut up, it can't be that annoying that everyone is calling them the Pre-Heats where you had to come and complain. C'mon Son

 

[el burro73]

What's up with the pre-heats? Yea those PRE-HEATS look good.  

 

[yungone350]

pre heats are so sick
