There are some new pics of the Zoom Power on NLB.net and since we've seen a whole lot of the real Zoom LeBron VI, I wanted to ask you if Nike made theright decision by scrapping the ZP?
ZLVI is great on court and the casual appeal, especially considering 231254 colorways released, is there too. However, when I think about the upcoming ZoomSoldier III, I can't force myself to like it and we all know LeBron is gonna rock those in the Playoffs. Yuck

I do like the actual VI the best but they definitely need to scrap that soldier III in favor of the Power, those soldier IIIs are looking to be the worstlebron shoe yet imo
 
If any1 from Nike is Reading this PLEASE RELEASE THOSE ZOOM POWERS PLZZZZZZZZz

those joints are so amaizing... makes the shoe look sleeker, Better and more amazing..

when i seen pics of those zoom powers i was like

then after seeing the lebron 6's i was like

both just seem quite generic to me. its hard to explain but neither ring "signature" shoe
 
nike got it right. the zoom powers look cheap and ugly. i've already bought four VI's and more to come. i would've purchased none of the zoompowers.
 
^ Process, you should put a huge watermark of your name across the whole shoe when you tag your pics.

Back on topic, is that foam on the lateral and medial side of the ZP's?
 
Greg, you know til this day that I think the Zoom Power should have been the VI. Yes, the six is a better looking shoe, and does have casual appeal butpersonally only the UWR VI and OSU VI get my attention. I personally HATE that they are playing it "safe" with Lebron's line. Most things fromthe Lebron line look very generic lately. I thought the IV was a great push in the right direction but the V, although great performance, looks wise nothingamazing. Personally i think the Lebron line has bigger things to worry about, with all the gimmick, i mean limited, lol, releases they have going with the six.Nike hasn't made back the $ they have invested in Lebron as of yet, which may be a reason for why they are playing it so safe.
 
zoom power > VI. Although I've warmed up to the VI, the zoom power was something fresh and had the look of something that should have come after theIVs.
 
I <3 VI's, BUT I can't help but think the V's were a better on court shoe. I haven't played a lot in the VI's, but I loved the V's.

With the exception of the IV, the ZP looks like it is the stiffest LeBron shoe ever made.
It doesn't look comfortable just setting there, but the VI's look and feel comfortable.
Also the VI looks awesome for casual wear as opposed to the ZP that, I think, wouldn't look as good with jeans.
 
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 atop level basketball shoe.
 
i think they made a huge mistake scrapping the zp and releasing
that big bulky, uninspired, thrown together boot. i didn't like the v either because
i felt it was too boring and bulky. i was excited when i first saw the zp because i thought
it was going to be the sig and was dissapointed when i saw the actual six, i wonder who's
decision that was. i hope they get released some how, they shouldn't let them go to waste
 
VI > ZP> Soldier III


Those soldier III's are a knockoff of another nike shoe
smh.gif
(i dont remember the name)
 
Mrk Parker and Lebron got it right. The Power was a great performance bball shoe with no lifestyle appeal. MP and LBJ saw a huge opportunity to have the VIhave a lifestyle appeal to it. You could not have had the different materials used in the VI on the Power.

The results speak volume to the success. Never before did we see the national appeal to cop so many Bron's!!! Especially here in LA. WE would usually waitfor them to go on markdown...not true anymore.

The ZP would have been a great summer outdoor show though.
