And for the first time in 3 years there's NO NY themed sneaker quickstriking around these parts??
I damn near feel indirectly disrespected... It's almost like they're f'ing up tradition...

Dunno' about a themed-sneaker, but IMO, he's doing something even more meaningful:

Dear New York,

Thank you for welcoming me back to New York City, one of my favorite places to play in the world. The Big Apple has always been good to me so I wanted to do something special to show my appreciation.

With this in mind, on November 7, 2009, I'm going to open seven gyms around NYC to host free open runs for high-school aged players. I remember being in high school and just wanting to play ball as the seasons changed from fall to winter. The Ohio winter made it tough to play outside so I always saw the opportunity to play in a nice gym as a gift.

It is in giving that I've found the most strength, whether it's on the court with my teammates or at home with my family. In giving this gift of the game to New York City, I want to share that strength with people who love the game as much as I do.

Peace,

LeBron James

yeah it seems pretty flimsy. i'm not a huge fan of flywire

 

[kingjay718]

Is it me, or does it feel like you're gonna come out the shoe when u walk or ball? I bought my correct size, hut when I lace them up to the top eyelet, nomovement. Just an observation.

 

[ooiron manoo]

I'm going to hoop in these as soon as I get them to see how they feel.

I didn't like the VI for hooping. I hooped in them twice, and had to go back to the IV's. I got a 10 and they ran small, the only way I could fitinto them was with thin Nike Dri Fit socks. While playing my foot still slipped inside, weird I know, I just didn't like the feel of the VI.

The II's and the IV's have been

forhoopin'....personally. I haven't hooped in the V.

 

[l knicks fresh knick l]

^^^ you didn't like the 6's? wow. how come? double stack zoom air, and you didn't like it..

the 4's were WAAAAYYYY 2 heavy. i still need to cop thse for ball also...

That's the same way I felt wearing the Hyperdunks. I don't have these so I can't judge but it might be wise to try a half size downthe next time to try them on.

 

[l knicks fresh knick l]

Lazy i felt the same way in hyperdunks... i need to try theses on first i guess

Yeah I just might. It sucks, because I'm a 10 in all my shoes. Ah well.

 

[the collector23]

here's my 2 cents... last year when vi's dropped, i tried them on and loved them. i got them to play ball in and they didn't disappoint.
so the vii's come out and the misses gets them for me for an anniversary present, she buy's 10.5's, i go exchange for 11's. get home andi'm wanting so bad to like this shoe but it feels like crap. decide to exchange for an 11.5. after 20 minutes of messing with sock combinations(wearing 2pair) i finally get the fit i'm looking for. i played in them last night without breaking them in and i can't complain at all. they're not as comfyas vi's, but what lebron has been? they did feel better as the game went on. overall i'm happy, i think it's a really good shoe to ball in. iwon't say great yet, but maybe after a couple of wears i'll upgrade it.
i'm 6'1" 215 if it matters/helps

[the game is a foot]

Yeah it's official.

The red carpets are on espn!

 

[kingjay718]

He is. I'm at the game now. Not bad. Kinda fitting to wear them in NYC.

 

[superman1007]

"red carpets" looking real nice. So are these going to be known as the "NYC" or "red carpets"?

 

[dtb00201]

ah man i must get the red carpets....if it comes down to it i will get these over any jordan dropping this or next year

 

[aar1002]

Red carpets with red laces!

 

[si3n4]

Double stacked zoom is so nice. I just found some Vs at the outlets for $30, so I'll abuse those for a while.

I'm still going to get the white/navy VIIs, but I'm going to wait for them to go on sale or get them F&F....

 

[maxtempo96]

red carpets lookin' real good

should we expect these to drop any daynow?like maybe tomorrow?

 

[davis]
