High Quality Photos Featuring the Chalk Nike Zoom LeBron VI with 3M »

Although we can’t say anything bad about any of the previous Zoom LeBron VIs, the Chalk Edition is probably the most significant thus far. And that says a lot, cause there’s been quite a few colorways. Some may argue LeBron’s NYC kicks are always the most special, but behind inspiration from LeBron’s in-game ritual and Cavs’ alternate jerseys (finally some love for all those folks in Ohio!), the Chalks are beyond reach. Another thing that sets them apart from the rest of exclusive Six’s is they are far more accessible. After numerous energy releases at the House of Hoops stores, Nike finally decided to do an online launch. Kudos for that. However, some may feel disappointed about the fact they didn’t stay that way, cause right now you can get them at some of the regular Nike retailers – Footlockers, Champs, NikeTowns. If you’re lucky enough you will get them sooner than those who ordered via Cavaliers Team Shop. Personally, it’s good to see supply meets the demand for once. The Chalk VI’s – this year’s unofficial Birthday sneakers – feature plenty of small details that make them much more attractive. There’s a silhouette of LeBron holding his arms wide open on the top of the tongue and on both insoles as well. The actual Chalk is spilled around the collar and under the soles too. Baby powder bottle is hidden on the other side of the L23 logo tab. On top of that the Navy Blue patent/Canvas upper sits on a triple stitched “Hardwood” print midsole, which uses a reflective 3M material. See all that and more after the jump.
