LeBron James wore the ZL VI’s in a Team USA practice a few weeks ago (details and pics here and here), but no official announcement or press conference went down until now. The Olympic colorway with the reflective “United We Rise” pattern will apparently be making its first and only game appearance in the gold medal game (assuming Team USA gets there). Here’s a new close-up of these:
A full-size shot is available at this link. All pics and info from kenlu.net via NT’s bib10… A few press conference photos as well as a close-up shot of the very decent black / red / white colorway can be seen after the jump.
Full-size shot of the black / white / red colorway available at this link. A full run-down of all Olympic basketball footwear will be posted next week.

WANATABE2121 posted this comment on Aug 21 08 at 8:55 pmOlympic VI’s = hideous. Black/Red VI’s on the other hand… BEAUTIFUL. The United We Rise pattern makes the Olympic model look so Hawaiian or something. I just don’t get it.

Micah posted this comment on Aug 24 08 at 5:57 pmI love how Craig Sager displayed this shoe very prominently before the gold medal game last night; he seemed utterly confused on how to really say the name of the shoe though…….

KJtheGreat posted this comment on Aug 27 08 at 10:46 amI love the Black and Red ones, looks like something I can finaly be able to hoop in since the IIs! Everyone after the IIs have been wonderful to look at and horrible to play in! The Vs were ok although a tad tight which is probably why we pretty much played in his Soldiers all season/in the Olympics! lol
