INFO - LEBRON 8 V2 "ALL STAR"

As is typical of special Lebron releases of the last two years, this pair had a lot of buildup before they dropped, and quickly sold out.  The shoe did have a surprise restock or two, but even then they went quick!  Something about the gradient just makes these stand out amongst the ASG releases from 2011.  These also feature a special print on the insole and detailing on the laces near the toe.

LEBRON 8 V2 LOW "SPRITE"

Lowtop versions of basketball shoes have always been polarizing.  This is very evident with Air Jordans, many refuse to buy the low top versions of shoes that originally released as mids or highs.  Therefore it was very surprising to see the Lebron 8 V2 Lows take off in popularity.  Here we have possibly the most well-known pair, named for Lebron's association with the soda brand.
YEAR OF RELEASE:  2011STYLE CODE:  456849 401
MATERIALS: Standard LJ8 V2 materials - flywire and mesh uppers.
COMES WITH:  Treasure blue laces with volt tips.
STREET VALUE: $175-185

SNEAKER REVIEW - LEBRON 8 V2 LOW "SOLAR RED"

Here we have a somewhat limited pair of Lebron 8 lows, at least compared to the last pair I reviewed.  As soon as I saw the teaser pics, I had to have these!  The shoes received a mostly favorable welcome from fans of Lebron's sneakers, although some naysayers contend that the shade of red used is too "pink".

A LOOK BACK - LEBRON 8 V2 "SUMMIT LAKE"

Still drizzly out.  Nice "summer" we're having.  Anyway, broke these out.  They can take some hits from the water and still look fresh!  Check out a couple pics below (click to enlarge) and my original review here.

SNEAKER REVIEW - LEBRON 8 "VETERAN'S DAY"

These released alongside some Kobe V's in the same colorway.  This pair is fairly featureless for Lebrons and gets its name from the patriotic colorway and in-game debut near the actual holiday.

LEBRON 8 V2 LOW "WOLF GRAY"

If you've read any of my reviews on the Lebron 8 V2, you already know the deal with these, except here we have a lower cut version.  While these don't have the same appeal as the more famous "Sprite" and "Solar Red" V2 Lows, they are still an awesome shoe and definitely a welcome edition to the V2 collection!

LEBRON 8 V2 "ENTOURAGE"

Lebron's shoes clearly made a big impact in 2010-2011 and there was a lot of hype surrounding this particular release year.  Turns out, supply was a little more plentiful than was initially thought, thus the excitement died somewhat after they dropped.  However, this is still a very clean colorway (for Golden State Warriors fans especially), based off of a poster for the show Entourage.
YEAR OF RELEASE: 2011
STYLE CODE: 429676 401
MATERIALS:  The uppers are a mix of flywire, mesh and patent leather.
COMES WITH: Mine came with black flat laces.
STREET VALUE: $200+.  Shout out to Nicklaus2007 and .Mike for helping me out with these!
