Nike just can’t get enough of the Zoom LeBron VI. Just a week after dropping a couple of pretty hot pairs, they’re at it again, this time with the Zoom LeBron VI Akron, a tribute to LeBron’s home town. The shoe has a canvas blue upper upon which is printed an Akron cityscape as well as street signs, trees and a chain link fence. To contrast the blue canvas, the upper is set off with yellow eyelets, a yellow-bordered white Swoosh, and an icy white toe box.
I’m a middle-of-the-road fan when it comes to the Zoom LeBron VI. I kind of like the shoe, but not enough to buy all of them that come out; I need a tight colorway. Well Nike has achieved that in spades here. The Zoom LeBron 6 Akron might be THE tightest colorway we’ve seen so far, and possibly that we will see. The canvas against the bright white leather just looks fantastic, and the light print on the canvas has a really nice but understated look, much more subtle than the lasering that Nike and Jordan Brand are so fond of these days.
The Nike Zoom LeBron VI Akron drops Friday, March 13 at House of Hoops. This weekend should have a lot of nice releases, so it’s good to see this one staggered a day early. Via Foot Locker Unlocked
