Nike did not miss a single opportunity for branding the LeBron 8 including the lacetips calling out the model name of the shoe.
The Lion logo saw a slight change with LeBron swapping the 23 jersey for 6, but in this colorway the most standout feature is the beating red eyes on the all black lion face. ?Also notice the 8/infinity lace holes calling out the model number similar to the LeBron VII.
Speckled midsoles were a cosmetic addition seen on several PE’s of the Air Max LeBron VII, but comes standard on this colorway of the LeBron 8. ?Great way to break up the long white midsole. ?Nike also calls out the Flywire technology with?subtlety?on the medial side of the heel.
Like with the Lion logo on the tongue, the King James Lion is black on black with beating red eyes.
On the confort side of the LeBron 8, the single biggest improvement from the LeBron VII is the padding around the ankle at the back of the shoe. ?The branding sits atop a ballistic mesh.
