The Nike LeBron 8 will be celebrating its 10th anniversary next year.

LeBron James had a run of iconic sneakers during the early 2010s, including the Nike LeBron 8 which was one of his first sneakers with the Miami Heat. In 2020, Nike has been honoring LeBron with a run of Nike LeBron 7 retros so now, it only makes sense that they would do the same with the LeBron 8, next year.

Thanks to @soleheatonfeet, we now have some interesting information to share about the LeBron 8's 2021 comeback. As it turns out, the "HWC" colorway will be returning to the market. Originally, this blue and orange colorway was thought to be a Knicks model since there were rumors that LeBron could wind up on the Knicks. However, it is more of a nod to the old blue and orange Cleveland Cavaliers jerseys.

When it comes to the release date, nothing is known at this juncture. The Instagram post below notes that this shoe will be dropping during the early stages of 2021 but that could be anytime within the first four months of the year.

With this in mind, stay tuned for all of the latest updates as we will be sure to bring them to you. Also, let us know in the comments below what you think.
