MIAMI (AP) – LeBron James’ latest Nike shoe is more of a nod to the Miami Dolphins and Florida Marlins than the Miami Heat.
The “LeBron 8 South Beach” will be introduced Saturday by James, at a Miami event where the two-time NBA MVP will speak to 100 children about the upcoming Heat season and designing his eighth signature sneaker.
The shoe shown Saturday have a turquoise and black scheme, similar to Dolphins and Marlins colors. James says “shoeheads will definitely love it” and that the initial response to the sneaker has been overwhelmingly positive.
It retails for $160.
James said he and Nike have tried to bring “a little bit more hip, a little bit more spice” to his shoes, whether they’re being used for performance or just casually.
James says, “And I think we’ve done it again.”
