Update: We just received a note from The Rivington Club, they will have 23 pairs for sale as well.


On Tuesday, November 25, NBA All-Star LeBron James makes his first trip of the 2008-09 NBA season to Madison Square Garden as the Cleveland Cavaliers take onthe New York Knicks. Not only will the perennial NBA All-Star be returning to the stage where he scored 50 points last season but he will be doing so in aspecial "New York City" version of his latest signature sneakers - the Zoom LeBron VI.

The "Big Apple" Zoom LeBron VI sneakers take inspiration from one of LeBron's favorite cities, New York, by incorporating the color redthroughout the shoe as a tribute to the city's famous nickname. This will be the third time that LeBron will wear a special "New York" version ofhis signature shoe. Two seasons ago he wore a "graffiti" edition of the Zoom LeBron IV and last season he wore a version of the Zoom LeBron V'sthat included pinstripes.

Fans looking to purchase the Zoom LeBron VI - "Big Apple" edition can do so in New York City on Friday, November 28. The shoe will be available atretail locations throughout the city such as Niketown and House of Hoops by Foot Locker and will retail for a suggested price of $140.

The Zoom LeBron VI shoe is the most versatile LeBron signature shoe from Nike and James. The Zoom LeBron VI performance basketball shoe represents the essenceof LeBron James: team, toughness, passion and vision. The Zoom LeBron VI not only has a full-length Zoom Air unit in the mid-sole for the ultimate responsiveride, but also has a Zoom Air unit double-stacked in the heel. The cushioning system helps the forefoot for transition when jumping. Deep sipes in the shoeallow for natural motion, which means the shoe works with the athlete's movement, rather than against it.

In addition to the special shoe that LeBron is scheduled to wear on court tomorrow, Nike is set to air its latest television commercial featuring LeBron onThanksgiving Day. The U.S. television spot, dubbed "Chalk", draws its inspiration from LeBron's pregame ritual of tossing talcum powder into theair at the scorers' table before each home and away game.

thanks for the info and photos.. but let me just yell out, GIMMICKS.. thats all nike is good for. Im just glad MJ played during an era of 3-4 colorways pershoe, and he wore just 1-2 in game.. now kids are dieing for the 10 c/ws Lebron puts on in a single season, let alone an entire career

Preach!

And to add to that, MAJORITY of these 'Bron colorways suck balls.

 

[toyking2]

They don't even match the Cavs uniforms..especially if thier arewearing their HWC unis that night

,which is the rumor that is goingaround. And just plain RED? nothing else? R U serious

 

[aj27526]

pretty dope in my opinion. but this just solidifies it for me...

ESPN NEWS TICKER: Breaking News...F Lebron James has been acquired by the New____ ______

 

[dmxgod]

The best part of this colorway is the spotted midsole that looks like an Oreo Cookie milkshake

The colorway as a whole does not flow together..rather disappointed..

 

[23king24]

when people first saw these they thought they were OSU's and liked them bu tnow that their acually Big Apples they dont. i still like them and willprobably cop if i get the chance.

me too

 

[ijumpman]

I kinda like that tone of red, it's tasteful, and not too annoyingly bright.

 

[vidasman]

COMPLETELY lazy imo... I just dont see myself wearing an all RED PATENT Bron, I mean the VI's gotta take time to grow onpeople first and to come out with this shoe is just going to make people sit on the fence that much longer... hmmmmm coulda been way better

 

[emmanuelabor]

gimmick or no gimmick...I like these. I wish these werent a special version, and were a GR. this shoe looks great in solid colors IMO

 

[executive76]

Eh...I'm glad they used this instead of a colorway I wanted...the 28th is going to be crazy enough withadding a Lebron to my list


I like the fact they OD on colorways it gives me options other than Black/red or white/red

 

[swagger7]

Did they get rid of the triple stitching thing on the midsole?

 

[jeddahblaster]

Is this will match on his cavs uniform?

 

[fenixconnexion]

not bad but HOH... SMH

 

[morningstar7777]

PM me if anyone wants a pr.

 

[ucasta]

Not appealing to me. Although the speckled midsole is a nice touch.

 

[blue0230]

Why black Friday... why?

 

[true 3 blue]

I just need to see some Lebrons in Knick colors.

AZG
Lebron 2
Lebron 3

All in Knick colors would be crack

 

[dequon10]

its a damn shame

[carlofromdapi]

I'd rock em!
