NIKE LEBRON 8 V2 “SUMMIT LAKE HORNETS” & “YANKEES”

The Nike LeBron 8 V2 has been one of the most successful performance based sneakers of the 2010-2011 NBA season. From extremely loud colorways such as the “South Beach” colorway to more conservative makeps such as the “Cool Grey” colorway, the Nike LeBron 8 V2 has been very intriguing to say the least. We have spotted two new colorways that are set to release next month. One pair is inspired by LeBron James’ first little-league basketball team, the “Summit Lake Hornets”. It features a neutral grey base that is highlighted with orion blue and purple highlights. The second pair, inspired by the New York Yankees color scheme, contains a midnight navy tone that is highlighted with white and silver accents. Check out more photos of these two pairs and look for them to drop at a local Nike retailers very soon.

Said to be inspired by LeBrons Little League Basebell team, the “Summit Lake Hornets”, the Nike LeBron 8 V2 in Grey/Orion Blue/Concord will officially launch on Saturday, March 5. Grey is used over the majority of the Flywire upper, giving the white leather lace stays a lot of room to shine. Orion blue occupies the Nike Swoosh as well as a few other details, while concord outlines the Nike Swoosh and covers the laces and liner. Finally, an orion blue speckled 360 Air max unit sits in the sole, just above the black outsole.

Derek Jeter and CC Sabathia Commemorative Air Jordan 1’s

Both kix were created to celebrate the latest World Championship won by the Yankees.

“These two shoes were inspired by iconic elements of the Bronx’s most famous diamond, and include discovery elements for New York’s most loyal fans. The special Alpha AJ1 Outdoor speaks to CC’s edge and contemporary style while the AJ1 Phat Low speaks to Derek’s refined and sophisticated off-field demeanor. Today as New York plays it’s home opener, they celebrate their first championship in their new stadium and these shoes include details that commemorate the first and last championships of baseball’s most winning organization.”
