i completely agree.Originally Posted by mt3130
the zoom power looks like a performance monster to me. the six looks like the 2009 version of the af1. it doesnt look (and apparently doesnt perform) like a top level basketball shoe.
Word, the VI that was released saved the lebron line from becoming too hideousOriginally Posted by KingJay718
Nike did the right thing. The ZP looks terrible.

Oh so now y'all are saying the VI's don't perform well? GTFOHWTB. They are excellent performers...achieving a very comfortable and soft feel on the court while still being responsive. They are also amazingly light. I keep telling y'all there is technology in the shoe, just not for the sake of being technology like flywire is. NIke has got y'all so used to specific technology that when it's used in a passive form like in the VI's y'all think it's absent.
i know theres technology in it, but i hate the sole on that shoe. two of the guys i regularly play with bought them and both of them damaged the outsole. ashoe that retails for 140 should not last a couple weeks because they sacrificed the durability of the shoe to attain lighter weight (just like nike did withthe hyperdunk except they skimmed on the midsole and upper with that).
One thing i dont like with the ZP is the swoosh idea. Swooshes should have been on the medial side of each shoe, with the L23 logo on the lateral of each shoe...
agreed. the shoe was sick but they should have flipped upper design with the swoosh on the outside of the shoe and the l23 logo on the inside. that was theonly thing i wasnt feeling about the shoe.

Word life.
I was gravely dissapointed when Nike decided to scrap the original design and opt to release those monstrocity of a boot-esque sneaker they call the lebron VI.
Eww would be an understatement. Godforsaken and a condemnation for my eyes would be an accurate assessment.
When i see the VI's in stores, i cringe with absolute repulsiveness. Good gawd Nike... way to screw up a potentially outstanding Followup to the V's.
Real talk, I understand that it's a matter of subjectivity and personal taste, but i just don't see the hype over the current release VI's.
The original had; Carbon fiber heel lining, foamposite technology, vis-zoom air... this was a revolutionary shoe in the making. Au contraire, we saw something entirely different, like going on a blind date and Fionna from Shrek showing up. But then, Nike HARDPRESSED the marketing and hype into the masses and they ate up this hideous release like coke-laced scrambled eggs the day after Ramadan. People see their favorite basketball player don a shoe and it's jock-nitis status (i don't mind that, but the idea is that influence and proper promotion can persuade decision making).
Let's be real, if LEBRON SPORTED THE ORIGINAL DESIGN, CATS WOULD BE ON IT LIKE INFANT LIPS OVER A MAMARY GLAND (and rightfully so).
The lebron VI o.g. design = Porsche Cayman S.
The lebron VI "upset" release = Civic Hybrid.
As an avid shoe collector for 19 years... this is one of the most grandeur of letdowns i have ever witnessed on Nike's account.
