Nike Air Max LeBron 8 V/2 Official Release Date Announced »

King James will soon be sporting a slightly different version of the Nike Air Max LeBron 8 named the V/2. LeBron has always started out the season in a shoe that is substantial and then towards the end of the year made the move to a lighter version in time for the playoffs. The most noticeable difference for the upcoming V2 edition is the choice of material. The first version of the Air Max LeBron 8 came with a leather finish. The V2 edition features a lightweight synthetic upper infused with Flywire technology. The thinner material not only reduces weight but also aims to make the shoe much more breathable. The first GR colorway, that will become available on January 8th at Eastbay, will be this combination of White, Black and Sport Red with additional colorways to follow as the season progresses.
