For most of us that collect sneakers, hunting down a rare pair is a part of what makes collecting enjoyable. It’s impossible to know how many samples and player exclusives are created each year. But often times, years later we see colorways and PEs that may have flown under the radar during a style’s initial run.
This Nike LeBron 8 “SVSM” PE is currently on eBay. Though the LeBron 8 might not be the most sought after or the rarest of St. Vincent-St. Mary player exclusives, its soft suede finish definitely makes it one of the most unique. Details like the “Witness” logo on the insoles, “Irish” on the heel, and the SVSM colors of green and gold make this LeBron 8 a collector’s dream.
You can grab this pair now on eBay if you feel like emptying your bank account.
