Take a look at the first real photo of LeBron James’ sixth signature sneaker – Nike Zoom LeBron VI. The Black/White/Red colorway will be released in October followed by an all black version in December. Of course there will be some exclusives like every year, f.e. China edition. Although it hasn’t been the case with LBJ’s last two kicks, the main problem with LeBrons is the weight. People complain about Zoom LeBron shoes being too heavy. I guess everybody that feels that way will anticipate the VI cause according to Fear23 from Niketalk, who took the photo and tested them, they weight 14.5 oz.! For those who think that the swoosh is a little off note there is a carbon fiber plate that supports the heel and wraps around, in the photo the plate is covering part of the swoosh. The Nike Zoom LeBron VI will once again implement the Phyposite technology. On the inside of the tongue, it’s stitched: “Unstoppable”. After being “Fearless” this year, LeBron is gonna be Unstoppable from now on! Also, be aware that it’s only a sample and it’s a lot different from the first pic that leaked the internet some time ago. Let’s hope this is the way the final product will look like. Check back as we will follow up all the news on the ZLVI.

It definitely has some ZLS2 characteristics and on the heel I would say that it's probably a zoom air unit(double stacked :?: )! It also looks like there's gonna be plenty of protection too!
Anyway these are just some assumptions, time will tell!
Wow...I think this will be a really nice shoe :mrgreen:
yo this shoe is sick, i like it alot, yeah the swoosh is little big, but i like it. i hope theirs a strap on it, like the IV and V.
nice!
I'm impressed
thanks for pictures.... i think they have a big potential......
I agree with Ggggggas... def some Soldier II influence or flip-flop. It seems that the Soldiers have given us a peek at elements of the "next" ZL over the last two years.
You can also see some III & IV flavor in this. YES, they've needed to cut down the weight and sub 15 oz.'s is amazing for the ZL... but at what expense?
For the record, the V's have got to be the best crafted and highest quality ZL yet... not to mention insanely good fitting. Every time I wear mine (black/crimson) I admire the craftsmanship more and more. It's nice to see Nike being concerned about quality and new technology and approach with Lebron. It's clear that the ZL is a priority... though I don't dare compare the line to Jordan's just yet!
Of course you can't compare the ZL line to the Jordan line yet but MJ's got 18 years on LBJ. LeBron's revolutionizing the shoe game. And yeah, those ZLVI's are hot!!
I dont like them.. Maybe i need to look at it from a different angle..
At this point I am happy with the ZLVI. Rumors are that this design has been scrapped, but I wouldn't jump to conclusions just yet.
Also, the weight is a positive thing, it's great! However, I am still so in the V's (just like 4DRUMZ), which IMHO are not heavy so that doesn't bother me at all, and they are indeed great basketball shoes. Not as appealing, true, but gets the job done on court.
Btw... for those who await the forum and users registration, which will be ready in a couple months, preview one of the features - avatar (look right) - and a different user icon (look below) ;)
