LeBron James and the USA Basketball Men reclaimed the gold yesterday and they did that in style. You can make the argument that this was the biggest win in U.S. Olympic men’s basketball history to get back on top again. Regarding the shoes involved, the Olympics has always been a great chance to promote kicks. As we announced before King James decided to give the upcoming Nike Zoom LeBron VI a special treatment and wore them in the Gold Medal Game. However, that’s not the only thing special about the new LeBron 6. In order to commemorate USA Basketball achievement Nike is said to release an exceptional “Gold Medal Shoes Pack”. Of Course Zoom LeBron VI “United We Rise” included along with Nike’s other top models. This is a very brave move by Nike to drop the newest sneakers long before their actual premiere. However, since it’s not a mainstream release they will be extremely limited. Probably about 100 pairs in the U.S. (most likely House of Hoops) and second that in Asia. Nevermind its limitedness, this is gonna be a great chance to own these bad boys three months before anybody else. Several Nike-inside individuals have already confirmed the release, but be sure to check back to NLB.net to get more details once the word is out.

I don't see that happening like ever. It's hard to admit that, but there are no good shoes here in Europe. 1-2 colorways max and a lot of shoes don't release here at all. And please don't get me started on the prices. "Import" is the only way.
As far as the exclusives go... there is no hope :???: .
^Absolutely, import all the way, I'm just sad the only exclusives we get is bad colorway Spizikes(that suddenly turn into GR, after a couple of months).
I really dont care what i havta do or how much these cost im gettin em (hopefully lol)
It looks good, but it does look a little like the Air Force 25's. I can't wait to see the shoe in person in some other colors. I also hope it doesn't weigh as much as the last ones cause that really makes me not want to wear them.
I want Spizikes but here in holland I only can get the black/gold ones, but I want the fire red spizike, how the hell can I get those, europe sucks when where talking about basketballshoes
