The official worldwide premiere of the Nike Air Max LeBron VIII is on October 26th, 2010. However, that doesn’t stop other stores from releasing them earlier. Usually the road to the pick up goes through several stages based on how badly you want the shoes. First, there are premium boutiques like marqueesole.com, which leak the very first pics and offer several pairs at slightly bumped up prices. Then it’s time for the limited energy drops such as the Asia exclusive, but it does involve shipping shoes from overseas. The third stage is the early online availability, which usually kicks in 2-3 weeks before the release. Finally, there’s the official channel, where you actually get to go into almost any store and try on the shoe before copping.

Currently we’re between stages two and three. So if you want to get the LeBron 8’s now, check out pickyourshoes.com as they have the FSR available for sale for only $145 ($15 below MSRP) with free ground shipping. Notice that theon the box reads LEBRON 8 not AIR MAX LEBRON VIII. That’s very interesting. Be sure to let us know your first impressions once you get your pairs… whether it’s this one, the Chinas or any other version.

Got Mine Ordered and I will let Lebron's Fans know how the shoes feel and perform.
I got mine ordered also! I said f*ck it and paid for next day shipping cause I hate waiting!
Its weird that the name on the box is not Air Max Lebron VIII. They dropped the Air Max name and the roman numerals.
I am also suprised that the color still says metallic gold because there is none on the GR
Got mine ordered!!! Can't wait to try them on!
Hey, Let you all Lebron's Fans that Miami Heat will play against Pistons tonight at 7:30 PM on NBA Channel!

They are 100% legit. Otherwise they wouldn't be mentioned on this website.
