This is the third version of the Nike Lebron Zoom VIII. The first was the original Zoom VIII, the second was the Zoom VIII V2, and finally the Zoom VIII P.S. The P.S. is designed especially for the playoffs.(POST SEASON) The shoe combines the Air Max sole, with a Nike Hyperfuse upper, making it the lightest version of the Zoom VIII. This video shows the inspirations behind the shoe.
The Kobe Zoom VI is one of the most popular basketball shoes in the NBA amongst players. Since the Kobe Zoom IV, Kobe's signature shoe has appeared in low top varieties. The Kobe Zoom VI is the lightest basketball shoe Nike has ever made. Using a combination of Flywire, less stitching, and less materials, the shoe is light and comfortable. Maybe that is why it is one of the most popular shoes seen on the feet of NBA stars around the league.
Below are some pics of NBA players wearing the Kobe Zoom VI. I purposely didn't put any Lakers. Most of them wear the Zoom VI.
