Alot of misinformation on this thread due to new members trying to bump their post counts. Lebron 8 PS - true to size. I got some 8s, and I'd say true to size. Is this the same for the lows?
Thinkin' about grabbing a pair of Sprites I bought a pair of the black lows in a 13 and they were pretty snug on me. I go up half a size on these joints. You must log in or register to reply here. Top Bottom. AdBlock Detected. The outsole is mostly one color with the lion logo in a contrasting color in the middle. The lows add an additional color around the perimeter. Unlike some dunk releases, these flat laces are a normal width rather than the skinny ones Nike likes to use.
Much better! It is Just the shoes and the box basically with the Lebron 8. The cost here is more associated with the signature line and the tech that is still in place on this sneaker.
The V1 8s use leathers, suedes and nubucks in addition to flywire while later versions strip away the sourced materials. This material is soft to the touch and even provides somewhat of a backstroke. While they may not be the most practical for basketball, for casual wear they definitely impart a luxurious quality to the shoe.
For the HWC, the nubuck makes the shoe look and feel premium. As for the flywire and other technical materials, it seems to be decent quality but is tough to judge. For the most part, it is what it is, and seems solidly built.
The craftsmanship and QC here seems typical for Nike. On my pairs, there are definitely some paint issues around the midsole and what appear to be minor glue marks on some of the flywire areas. Still, most of these are minimal and easily ignorable unless you are looking at them right up close. Overall I think Nike did a decent job on these retros as far as materials and craftsmanship goes.
These provide a very snug fit at true to size. This should be adequate for basketball, but for casual wear, a half size up is appropriate. I wear a size 9. By default, I got these in a 10 and they are definitely snug. So overall my advice is, whatever you normally get in Nikes, go true to size for a snug fit or half size up if you have wide feet or want more room around the toebox and sides. The V2 low is a bit more forgiving on space in my opinion than the mid.
The feel on foot at a half size up is that these are hugging the feet, with the lows being just a little bit less so. When brand new, the upper on the mid does not provide a lot of give and seems pretty rigid at first.
The V2 low is less stiff right out of the box. The flywire areas break in pretty quickly, and the nubuck areas might take a few wears to get them to soften up a bit. I like the snug fit here personally and appreciate the fit of the lows as being more forgiving. One thing I like about these is that there is no internal seam by the pinkie toe.
That makes these way more tolerable to wear. As far as underfoot, the Lebron 8 features a Air Max unit which is very comfortable. It feels like my feet are on an air bed! I probably am not taking these on any long walks or anything, but I can make them work over time as they break in!
These things feel great underfoot, and are one of the shoes where I definitely feel the tech! This is a great way to determine what you will need in a shoe and where you will need it most.
As a Guard, I am using the forefoot more than any other part of my foot, and you can see that my right foot is my primary. So when looking for a new performance shoe, take a look at your old one s and see where you getting more wear and tear so you can attempt to compensate for those key areas with your next purchase.
Hopefully this has helped you out a little bit in addition to my video review. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Im talking about slashing, cutting, crossover and all that type of stuff. LeBron is pure power and thats sort of how these shoes are… theyre powerful kicks but not great for someone who needs to change direction on a dime. So would you suggest that I do not get the 8 PS? I wouldnt use them if you have low arches… Ive heard complaints from others with low arches saying they hurt their feet while wearing them.
You can get a pair of V2 for a decent price now and those would be what Id choose to play in personally. Thank you for the reply man. Looking forward to more of your reviews. By the way where can we get in touch with you for questions?
