Nike Zoom Lebron 6 (Lebron VI) First Look
It looks like Nike has something special for us for the Zoom Lebron 6. Carbon fiber swoosh, fading black to red color blocking, and what from a distance looks like synthetic one piece upper - possibly Posite? These weigh in at only 14.5oz making them the lightest Lebron sneakers to date. Right now we can only guess what is to come of Lebron’s sixth signature shoe, but we can expect to get more info leading up do its debut of October.
Off of the initial look, what are your thoughts on these kicks? Leave us your thoughts after the jump. Pics provided to us by Fear23 of NikeTalk. |

I do not like how the Swoosh widens out at the end near the heel. The upper looks like the upper from a baseball cleat. I like the look of the midsole and Max Air Cushioning. They look comfortable. For some reason, but I can’t put my finger on it, these remind me of a black and red version of the Air Max Penny. I also like how there is no scraps on this shoes like some of the last LeBron products.

I like these and a light Lebron shoe is much needed
Comment by Jerm — April 3, 2008 @ 8:18 am
bkbigjay,
I have to agree with you about the Lebron 4’s. I love those kicks, but they are VERY heavy. Anyone else notice how Lebron ditched those for the Soldiers as soon as he could?

NOT really feelin this initial color way/desighn seems to plain I like buyin the special LBJ like ASG 3’s & Yankee V’s not sure how they would spice these up

These are hot only because the 5 sucked, Starting with the zoom genrations all the way to the 4’s he was on the right track then they messed up with the 5s.

Excluding the IVs, this is the most relevant Lebron sneaker to date. Finally Nike has created a new design that will be sought after in just a few years.
Like the rest of the Lebrons, I’ll cop mione when they go on sale and immediately put them on ice and watch the value ascend.

These kickz are looking awesome. Lebrons Vs weren’t looking good for me. Now, those kickz look like Air Pippen IIIs, a little bit.
But, I like the mid size better than high tops with strips.

ever since the jordan 11 the safe formula for a sneaker is the 2 toned look or the toe cap..
Comment by Devilb0y — April 3, 2008 @ 3:43 pm
these is fresh but i like the lebron Vs ( I copped tha china edition ones)I bet they will look better when more pics come out. I probly cop these
Comment by soulie17 — April 3, 2008 @ 3:46 pm
Looks good, Aside from the LB 4, these are looking good…I gotta agree, they look somewhat like the Penny’s possibly fusion’d with The Griffey’s Circa 96-97. I wanna see how they put the laces up on it…

The last two edition of the Lebrons i didn’t think was that great from the looks so far these are Nice!
Comment by SoleSaved — April 3, 2008 @ 5:45 pm
at a first look they look like some cheap nikes out sportsauthority or something…. im not gonna see these are weak but more pics will probably make them look better

Best lebron’s yet
Comment by RSX — April 3, 2008 @ 6:34 pm
These are tight shoes, but they are a little plain for a LeBron or a signature athlete’s shoe. They look like a mid-ranged priced basketball shoe that’s just a middle of the road shoe - nothing too outstanding about it, but yet nothing bad about it.
Comment by nikeshoehead — April 3, 2008 @ 9:12 pm

Comment by yung king — April 24, 2008 @ 1:30 pm
It looks like it’s a good comfortable basketball shoe. It kind of reminds me of the Air Penny 1
Comment by atomic bomb — April 28, 2008 @ 1:08 am

Comment by zach — June 8, 2008 @ 7:29 pm
u people are so foolish lol (jk but) these lebrons if u havent noticed bear a slight resemblance to the air max 97 therefore leaving it with tons of potential
Comment by car — June 23, 2008 @ 11:03 pm
straight garbage jordan is somewhere laughing his azz off
Comment by chris dirty — July 20, 2008 @ 10:09 pm
man this design is looking ugly.i agree, they do look like cheap 10 dollar shoes. but they do look comfortable. i thought bron was gonna come out with something different and unique other than plain and simple.
i got all the brons but idk bout these 1s.the 4 & 5 are way better.
