LeBron is entering the twilight of his career… or at least the years would say this is the end. Tom Brady might have something to say about playing into your late 30s and early 40s. When King James took his talents to South Beach, his sneaker game moved to a new level. Since that time LeBron’s signature series has taken a hit. The design has always been basketball first, but with each new drop, it seems to be moving away from lifestyle and fashion. The line is getting to the point where you can walk into stores and grab the latest numbered release on sale only weeks after a release of a new product.
Nike began re-releasing LeBron’s earlier shoes. The gold has been a mixed bag, but the South Beach 8 remains a shoe in demand. This sneaker stayed true to the original and is definitely a reminder of a different time for sneaker culture and basketball kicks.
