This Christmas, LeBron James and the Miami Heat will travel to Los Angeles, where they will battle the Lakers in what is widely assumed to be a NBA Finals preview. Like past seasons, LeBron will unveil a special shoe for the Christmas Day Game. This year, the chosen shoe is the Nike LeBron 8 V/2, a lighter variation of his most recently released signature shoe. Similar to the Air Max LeBron VII, this particular shoe will feature a heavy Christmas theme, with even more Christmassy look than before. You’ll be able to pick up your very own pair on December 26th, 2010. See LBJ’s previous Holiday shoes – click here.
| From LeBron 8 |
The “Christmas” LeBron 8 sports a varsity red synthetic upper, Flywire-embedded mesh overlying a heavily perforated base. Offering lockdown support are tonal Flywire panels on the sides of the shoe. Black works the inner liner, as well of the border of the Swoosh, which is filled in with white. Green is used for the provided lace set, while a white snow flurry speckled pattern is applied to a black backdrop on the midsole and sections of the heel. Below, a black colored 360ą-Air unit sits above a white red rubber outsole.

I need to see a blue colorway man!
Fire!!!
But, I will be getting GR LBJs or the Miama's if I am lucky.
BTW - the black laces instead green are the move.
C?
Why do all the colourways have to be black/red. I think they need to make the 8 in the purple/grey colour they did on the soldiers.
because the heat dont wear purple and grey. most of the GR's are colorways that lebron actually wears on the court so naturally most of them will be black and red and white
but i do agree a purple and grey color would be awesome
These are dope! As always whatever the Christmas shoes look like they will be mine! I hope they don't end up changing em. Rumor has it there was a Christmas colorway made up in version 1 also but this was the one that was picked.
