The box for the Nike LeBron 8 features a photo across the top of LeBron James and the lion similar to a painting of Bob Marley and a lion profile looking in opposite directions.
With the Lebron VII we saw two makeups of the shoe, but the LeBron 8 will see a total of three different versions starting with V1.
The LeBron 8 features graphic ties to LeBron throughout the packaging including his famous chalk toss on the side of the slideout box.
The “Chalk Toss” image continues inside the box with the tissue wrapping the shoes. ?A second layer of plain paper plays as a buffer between the shoes and the printed sheet.
