Nike Air Max LeBron VIII (8) GS – Black/White/Red – First Look »

It didn’t take long for full sized pics to surface the Internet. This time it’s the classic Black/White/Red colorway of the upcoming Nike Air Max LeBron VIII. The proportions suggest it’s also a Kids shoe. This time, however, there’s no L23 logo so it’s possible it’s one of the later samples. Additionally, LeBron’s signature, which is placed on the back of the shoe is new. The old one had #23 in it, so it had to change as well. Apart from that the main logo seems to be the Lionhead, which sits on the top of the tongue. Too bad there’s no Dunkman anywhere on the shoes. I was hoping that would take over the LeBron James line since the old logo needs to go. The Air Max unit has been slightly redesigned. Carbon fiber / Flywire panels on the upper look very interesting. How do you like the AMLVIII?
