Nike Zoom LeBron VI "Big Apple Edition" Hits NYC Tonight at the Garden

Just what we needed!  Another "sign" that LeBron James loves NYC and will end up there as a free agent in 2010.  It's no secret that King James is a big fan of the New York Yankees as he rocked their fitted at a playoff game IN CLEVELAND two years ago. He could also become the global icon he wishes to be if he makes his way to the city because of all the endorsement deals and extra pub he would receive by being in the craziest city in the world.

The New York Knicks are no dummies starting to realize that it would be in their best interest to make moves to get him at all costs and they have started to clear cap room by trading away Zack Randolph and Jamal Crawford in the past week.  They are totally cool with throwing in the towel for the next two seasons if it means getting one of the best players in the L today.  You could even make the argument that he could end up being one of the best players of all time and what better place for him to spend his prime (yes, he has not even reached that yet) than in the basketball mecca of the world, NYC.

LeBron always tears it up when he makes a trip to the Garden and last year was no exception.  He dropped 50 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists and had the people of NY chanting MVP by the end of the game.  The kid loves the big stage.  He has rocked a special edition Zoom LeBron for the past two years for his annual trip to the city.  This year he will be showcasing a Big Apple Zoom LeBron VI in a bright red colorway to match the city's nickname.  I usually don't like the super bright, all once color shoe but these are pretty hot.  Look for him to drop about 70 tonight on a depleted Knicks squad since Cuttino Mobley and Tim Thomas probably won't be active due to a failed phsyical by Mobley.

 I'm a little confused as to whether these will be a general release or if he will wear them for another game in NYC but I think he also has another special edition to commerorate last season's killer game with the Yankees inspired colorway below.  As you will see, he has 50-10-8 in the tongue and 5/5/2008 on the side to commemorate the actual game.  Why didn't they do this on the Big Apple's?  I have no idea.  Either way, they are both nice as hell.
