Nike Zoom Lebron VI Officially Unveiled
Posted by vulkan | Aug 21, 2008 In Beijing yesterday Lebron James finally announced that the shoe he wore in some USA practices is in fact the Zoom Lebron VI. He did so at a press conference where he also showcased the shoe he will wear if and when the USA mens basketball team makes it to the Gold Medal game which provides the worlds biggest stage to bring them out. They are said to be the lightest Lebron shoe to date and some special make ups have already been said to be in the works. Thanks to Kenlu.net for the pics. |

UNORIGINAL!!!If u close ur eyes halfway on the black and red ones they look just like the kobe 1’s. Then again on the other hand If fully u close ur eyes, u see nuthin..thats exactly what these are to me…nothin.

So whats the deal with that piece of leather going over the toe/laces. Is it a strap? Or is it stitched on all sides? Because if it’s stitched on all sides I really don’t get it.
That’s been bugging me more the more I see the shoe.

for those of you who are saying sumthin like “they look like they wont be good to ball in” …smfh..u must b about 51 cards short of a full deck cuz u dont determine how good a shoe is by LOOKIN at it….put it on your f-in foot and try it on…then judge…
Aug 22, 2008 at 11:02 pm
i like them, perfect to match my high school jersey
Aug 22, 2008 at 8:31 pm

Aug 22, 2008 at 8:02 pm
cats sound MAD DUMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO lebron shoe has never been NOT GOOD for ball…. they always have the very latest technology in basketball footwear, what are you clowns talking about?! i cant wait to see how incredible these will MORE THEN LIKELY feel on the court
Aug 22, 2008 at 6:42 pm
I like the Bred 1’s. I like the v’s ne ways dey shuld b comfortable
Aug 22, 2008 at 6:42 pm
I’d cop.
Aug 22, 2008 at 5:47 pm
hmmmm…I couldn’t see people wearing these like J’s but definably to ball in
Aug 22, 2008 at 5:03 pm
UMMM HELLO DON’T Y’ALL SEE THE AIR JORDAN VI INSPIRATION FROM THIS SHOE.
Aug 22, 2008 at 3:32 pm
^^^^^^^^lmao at the gay biker boots comment.
Honestly I’m feelin these, I don’t own any Lebron’s but I think I might cop these not sure what color. Although his shoes won’t ever reach jordan status for obvious reasons he’s a beast on the court and will be legendary. I’m proud to “witness” it.
Aug 22, 2008 at 1:59 pm
I can fux wit these. Not usually a Lebron shoe fan but these and the first edition I like. Lookin forward to seeing some other colorways.
Aug 22, 2008 at 12:02 pm
While you guys are hating these are a whole lot better looking than the 5s in my opinion. the 5s just looked like a gay biker boot.
Aug 22, 2008 at 11:32 am
This shoe must have had 30 different changes.
Aug 22, 2008 at 11:17 am
i like
Aug 22, 2008 at 9:58 am
The sole reminds me of the IV somewhat, I like these a lot more than the prelim. sketches.
Aug 22, 2008 at 9:30 am
not feelin them
Aug 22, 2008 at 9:23 am
ehh? stil like the zoom 4s best. but i repeat, no one owns the shoe game in the nba like lebron james. second might be kobe,melo a distant 3rd. i trust lebron always brings great performance in his shoes. while i like the 4’s they were a bit heavy.but they dont call him king james for nothin
Aug 22, 2008 at 9:02 am
I like the olympic pair at the top. Hopefully those come out in a general release
Aug 22, 2008 at 9:02 am
I didn’t like these but blk\red colorway is always money
Aug 22, 2008 at 8:56 am
The olympic joints look like some Vandals to me…The prototypes dont look too bad…These boys are right though…no other basketball players shoes will EVER be timeless like J’s…I wouldnt cop these now, let alone anticipate a re-release 10 years from now…Come on Nike…
Aug 22, 2008 at 8:48 am
very nice clean shoe… one of the best LBJ’s to date…
Aug 22, 2008 at 8:22 am
copy cat of AJ Is & AJ XX3s (combination)
Aug 22, 2008 at 7:58 am
Da Blacks is right!
alot better than other nikes out
Aug 22, 2008 at 7:31 am

Aug 22, 2008 at 7:30 am
They straight it looks like he tryna model the jordan 1’s to me
Aug 22, 2008 at 7:30 am
They straight shawty it looks like he tryna model the jordan 1’s to me
Aug 22, 2008 at 6:40 am
I’d only play ball in these I wouldn’t rock them casually.
Aug 22, 2008 at 6:36 am
Not every shoe is meant to have both on and off the court appeal (As evidenced by the above)…You can certainly ball in these, and plenty of other high top kicks, the shoe is decent, but they are not the best look off the court…IMO Lebron deserves better…
Aug 22, 2008 at 6:09 am
look decent very nice actually, like the lazering job on em!
Aug 22, 2008 at 5:09 am
Typical lebron shoe. They all look the same. But these look like good shoes to ball in
Aug 22, 2008 at 3:30 am
i think there is a difference between what looks cool/what performs great and what is appropriate for Nike’s Leadwagon -Bron….
as a simple bball shoe they look ok (they are screaming AF1’s!!)
but i think there is about time Nike put up a REAL signature shoe 4 him…They (IV) definitelly dont reflect what he is to Nike and bbal at this moment (look more like the LBJ 25-from 2023- that want to reflect real-old-school style for a 38 yo ex All Star)…they should be the sickest kicks of their line-and they are not!!!!!
the 20.5.5 came pretty close (original design-easily worn with a prada suit…) but they got “loafy” soon & never actually called Lebron’s…
bottom line- ok looking kicks- definitelly not Brons!
(looking forward on seing him play them so i can get a Sheed pic to compare)
ps: the “stiched” midsole & the simplicity of the design suggests that there’s going to follow a ridiculus number of “special editions” that include the National guard-the KFC/Starbucks and a limited Deshauwn Stevenson make-up….
Aug 22, 2008 at 2:04 am
theez iz fridesh,yall boyz crazy!
Aug 22, 2008 at 1:36 am
Agreed with Chief Stewart. You guys dont even read the post before hating. In this day in age how could he possibly end up with a shoe that sucked for balling in? The amount of research and technology just wouldn’t allow it.
If anything the fact that this shoe looks quite simple, would lead me to believe it will definitely be a good balling shoe. Why? because if it was completely crazy looking, there would obviously have been more focus on the look, therefor the performance suffers. This does not seemed to have happened with this shoe.
Looking forward to it.
Aug 22, 2008 at 1:17 am
Man you guys are haters. Every year people say Lebron’s newest shoe is ugly… then pay 100 sumthing odd dollars for them. Lebron took it back to the basics with the classic swoosh. I like these.
Aug 22, 2008 at 1:13 am
keep in mind Lebron shoes are designed for bball..and in my opinion they are a nice clean basketball shoe and I hope they perform good. Good look lebron and nike
Aug 22, 2008 at 12:53 am
i assume these will be as heavy as bricks like the rest of his shoes.
Aug 22, 2008 at 12:40 am
YEAH, THEY’RE NICE, HOW MUCH???
Aug 21, 2008 at 11:59 pm
if these come out in Jan than they will have a double layer of ZOOM AIR..
Aug 21, 2008 at 11:50 pm
These look like they would suck to ball in. Then again, so do most lebron shoes
Aug 21, 2008 at 11:46 pm
the one hes holding is way too small for him. what size is it? haha. he already unveiled it in slam magazine right?
Aug 21, 2008 at 11:43 pm
Black and red are better!!!!!!!!!!!
Aug 21, 2008 at 11:37 pm
“dont look like theyll be good to ball in”
Comment by igotsharte
C’Mon man seriously…. You think they would put all that time and effort into a shoe and it not be good to ball in?
@ YoDaddy
I wouldn’t be so sure about that “until the world ends” comment. As the Jordan generation gets older and new sports stars emerge the kids will rock those shoes… Remember a Jordan comes once every blue moon but rest assured there will be a blue moon someday. It wont take much….Grant Hill had millions of people rocking Fila BASKETBALL SHOES!
And as for when you said “because they didn’t put the nike sign really big on any of their shoes but the 1s” If it were that simple wouldn’t someone have figured that out by now?
Aug 21, 2008 at 11:33 pm
Nice!
Aug 21, 2008 at 11:30 pm
i’ve taken dumps that look better
Aug 21, 2008 at 11:19 pm
ugly!
Aug 21, 2008 at 11:17 pm
You know what, simple clean, not a spaceboot, just nice. I like it. looking forward to what other colorways they bring out.
Aug 21, 2008 at 10:48 pm
clean and simple with good quality. sometimes taking it back to basics is the best thing ever without sacrificing quality. yes!!!!!!
Aug 21, 2008 at 10:44 pm
dont look like theyll be good to ball in
Aug 21, 2008 at 10:44 pm
All of these basketball players need to give it up, the only show that is legendary and is going to be in style until the world is over is Jordan, because they didn’t put the nike sign really big on any of their shoes but the 1s, so LeBron don’t quit your day job.
Aug 21, 2008 at 10:23 pm
suck.
Aug 21, 2008 at 10:21 pm
I like these kinda smooth YEA 100
Aug 21, 2008 at 10:15 pm

Aug 21, 2008 at 10:12 pm
