Here is what people don't quite understand about the LEbron line of shoes...they are created and designed for a 6'8" 250+ lb beast that is quick,strong, and extremely athletic. A guy of his size and mobility needs a big strong shoe with protective properties. I'm 6'6" 245 that is quick andstrong that plays the 1,2,3, and for a small team power forward and the LEbron line is tailor made for a guy like me. Sleeker slimmer. greyhound type dudes arenot what the LEbron line was created for even though anyone can buy them. The Zoom Kobe line or the Zoom BB's are more suited for the lean athletic dudes.
