The early part of the last decade, also known as the beginning of LeBron’s Miami era, produced some of the most sought-after shoes of James’ signature line. Among them, the summer-fit fan favorite Nike LeBron VIII Low ‘Sprite’. And while The King has recently switched his alliance to Mountain Dew, he served as the flag bearer for Sprite for more than a decade, resulting in some pretty memorable commercials.
Technically, neither the lemonade’s logo nor its lettering appear on the shoe, but among LeBron fans and sneaker aficionados alike, the connection has been obvious from day one. Sticking with the classic color combination of the Sprite logo from that era (before the brand switched to a green & white re-design), the LeBron VIII Low combines a Treasure Blue upper with hints of white and a neon lime (limon?) colored outsole.
