You can count on the Summit Lake Hornets colorway of each Nike Basketball LeBron James sneaker to bring with it a fresh take on a palette that defined the early ’90s. For the latest colorway in honor of King James’ AAU squad, the Nike LeBron 8 V2 has taken on an ‘away’ look thanks to an almost entirely black upper. It’s beautifully set off by a reflective 3M eye-placket, one that lends some extra ‘juice’ to the purple and teal accents that appear on the tongue, laces, heel and a speckled Max Air bubble. It also looks like there’s just a hint of yellow Flywire, which would make these both a suitable match for the NBA’s Hornets and a slight departure from the squad’s traditional colorup. Makes for a nice change, as does the 3M hit, and you can get a better look at both by clicking below. via DJCK
