When Nike’s designers were working on LeBron James’ newest signature shoe, his career was going through some major changes. He was getting a new number, a new team, basically starting a new era.

Check out the shot below (full angles after the jump) and see if you can identify all of the changes that occurred. You can also pick up a pair of the new Nike Air Max LeBron 8 on footlocker.com or at Foot Locker stores. We will have the answers for you next week.
