Lebron 8 “Pre-Heat” Release Recap

 

We love a good shoe release over here at Wish.  So when we got word that we’d be taking stock of the Lebron 8 Pre-Heats, we knew it was going to be a big deal.  We snapped a couple of pics of the launch that included the shoes (of course) and a limited edition WISHNESS tee, inspired by the Lebron James Witness Nike Campaign.  If you stopped by the store this morning and weren’t able to score a pair, we’re truly sorry!  That’s the way the limited shoe release goes sometimes, but congrats to the lucky people who were here on time!  Follow the jump for the details!

Nike ACG Lunar Wood+ & Elite Trail Mid+

Nike ACG mingles with the Lunar Lite running silhouettes this Fall/Winter 2010 for two, one-of-a-kind hybrids. 

The Lunar Elite Trail Mid is the latest in a strong line of Lunar Hybrids already seen in 2010. The shoe takes the technologies from Nike’s performance running design mind, with a Lunarlon midsole, flywire in the upper and featherweight synthetics. The raised collar created a midcut for added support and protection to extend the shoe’s range in the wearer’s chosen environment. The colour selection comes inspired from ACG and references past ACG iconic colourways from shoes like the Air Terra and Lava High.

The Lunar Wood+ takes the lunar sole and puts a modified Wildwood ACG Nike on top.  This trail friendly shoe is ultra-light, practical and looks good with some denim.  Follow the jump for all the details and more pics.  You can pick these up in-store at our Moreland location: $125 for the Lunar Elite Trail Mid+ and $100 for the Lunar Wood+
