This side of Michael Jordan, no athlete has had cooler or more essential sneakers than Lebron James. Even beyond the kicks’ on-court performance (I dare you to find an option with better ankle support), their oversized, futuristic aesthetic makes them an off-court favorite. As such, John Elliot’s reimagining of the Lebron 8 is one of the most stylish pairs of “basketball” sneakers on the market—and they’re on sale.
All four colorways of the shoe are marked at least $100 off the original $250 price, but we’re partial to the white and pink pairs, both of which feel uniquely suited for summer. This marriage between basketball’s biggest star and one of menswear’s buzziest brands is — don’t roll your eyes — a slam dunk.
