Last year Nike and the Akron University started a 3-year partnership and as the result Zips’ players will proudly sport the L23 equipment including Special Make Ups of the Zoom LeBron sneakers, of course. Currently, there are three Hich Schools under the LeBron James program (SVSM, CTK, Fairfax), and two Colleges (OSU, AU). There was a change to see yet another SMU designed for the Memphis Tigers, but it appears we won’t be seeing them on court, because they suffered a tourney-ending loss yesterday against Mizzou. None of the players decided to break out the Zoom LeBron VI in team’s native Black and Blue colors. Apparently, there are two ZL6 Memphis colorways… one of them has been released as a GR while the other one is most likely to remain a sample and it’s the one pictured below.

Memphis colors are blue and gray, not blue and black. Black is a trim color, which got a lot of use under Calipari.
The shoes do look good though. Too bad Cal was too busy thinking about Kentucky to prepare or coach the team in that Mizzou game. He had the wierdest expression on his face the whole time. If he had done his job instead of trying to get the next one, we might have seen those shoes worn.
Kentucky fans had better hope Mike D’Antoni does a really good job this year bc Cal and Wes want Cal to coach Lebron for the Knicks. Kentucky was supposed to be the backup plan for that next year….
