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.

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!

INFO - LEBRON 8 V2 "HOME"

If you've read any of my other LBJ 8 V2 reviews, you already know the deal with this shoe.  Although the V1 already saw a Home colorway, we have a mostly white V2 as well, purposed for Miami Heat home games, that any fans of Bron's kicks are going to need to complete their sets.  As per, these are known for their extreme cloudlike cushioning and comfort.  You may get creasing on the white midsole and around the toebox, as well as yellowing on the patent leather, but the shoe will clean up easily with a quick wipe off at the end of the day.

LEBRON 8 V2 "SUMMIT LAKE"

Similar to the Navy/Yankee V2s, we have here another general release pair of LBJVIII.  This colorway has not seen the success of the South Beach, Christmas or Entourage editions, but are still nice and will probably be tougher to find as retailers sell out.  They are supposedly based off of the uniform color scheme of Lebron's childhood rec league basketball team, the Summit Lake Hornets.

SNEAKER REVIEW - LEBRON 8 V2 "NAVY"

This pair of Lebrons seems to be largely slept on in terms of colorways of the sneaker, probably because it isn't as limited as some other more well known color combos.  Make no mistake though, this pair has all the style and comfort of its more sought after brethren.  Supposedly based off of the uniform colorway of the New York Yankees, the shoe will definitely become harder to obtain as pairs eventually dry up online.

LEBRON 8 V2 "COOL GRAY"

The V2 is an evolution of the Lebron 8 that weighs less and has more breathability, supposedly to help further improve Lebron's game during the second half of the 2010-11 season.  While the 8 is fairly successful, the V2 takes it to another level, with most of the colorways being sought after, and half of those being limited as well.  This particular pair is named after the colorway.
