New Miami Heat player LeBron James has unveiled a new special limited “South Beach” edition shoe called the Nike Air Max LeBron VIII.
The shoe was inspired by numerous famous Miami milestones and the glaring pastel teal and flamingo pink color way of the Florida Marlins, Miami Vice and the Art Deco District. .
One person commented that the shoes look like something a clown at Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey circus would wear.
If there is anyone throughout the rest of the United States that after looking at these shoes and you just have to have a pair, you will have to get on a plane and fly to Miami if you want to purchase a pair or two.
So, I understandably went into my testing of the Air Max LeBron James VII with high expectations. Having said that (definitely a Curb Your Enthusiasm reference), I'll start off with the positives, because there is a lot to admire about this shoe. The thing that you'll immediately notice upon viewing the Air Max LeBron VII is its striking looks. From an aesthetic standpoint, the shoe has received almost universally positive responses. While that normally wouldn't matter in regards to the shoe's performance, the build and materials quality has a lot to do with both facets of this shoe. When you spend $160 on a sneaker, you expect certain things, and the VII delivers on its premium price point. Rolled edges, thick patents, precise stitching - not to mention the full array of Nike's latest technology - are found in every last inch of this shoe. Even the presentation is reflective of the price, with its heavy-duty slider box and matching paper. When you are paying that much for a sneaker, this is the kind of quality that should be expected.
And do not worry, any diehard Heat fans you will be happy to know that a version of the shoe in traditional red and black heat colors will be launched next month.
