We're exactly at the halfway mark Nike Au for our 11 Days of Nike LeBron series , bringing you through LBJ's first five signature offerings from Nike. Next in line is the Nike Zoom LeBron VI , a shoe that sports one of the more conventional shapes across all of his silhouettes. In fact, the overall shape is sort of an off-handed ode to the Nike Air Force 1 High. That familiar shape certainly played a part in the notched up off-court presence that the LeBron 6 brought to the line.

The shoe's overall shape was one confirmed by semi-official sources a bit earlier than normal thanks to the advent of social media: one of the first good looks at the shoe came from the Instagram of Mav Carter, a Cheap Nike Shoes Australia close associate and manager of sorts to LeBron. It was then that we first ogled the Hyperposite built frame that seemed more armored up than any previous LeBron delivery (Keep in mind that the week prior had given us a speculative look Nike Australia Outlet Store at a black-out pair on feet for Bron during a practice session).

From that point the anticipation built for several months leading up to the eventual October, 2013 debut of the shoes. As has been the custom in recent years, the sneakers actually became available on NIKEiD just a few days before their proper retail debut in order to open the floodgates for customized colorways. The first on the menu colorway following was the "King's Pride", which referenced LeBron's undisputed spot at the top of the Nike Australia league. The same day saw the debut of the LeBron 11 NSW Lifestyle, suggesting that those sorts of companion models would be rolled out simultaneously in the future.

Will there also be an EXT range in the future to complement the off-court category? We'd certainly assume so given the success of the likes of last year's "Cork" and "Denim" pairs. Will the Nike LeBron line be switching to Elite mode again in the post-season? The chances of the Heat not making the playoffs seem ridiculously low at this point, so LeBron will definitely need a post-season shoe.

The story of the LeBron 10 was one of pressure and time, and the outcome of those forces. This diamond theme manifested itself via both the polygonal shapes cut out on the shoe's upper and the colorways inspired by precious stones (The "Crown Jewel" among them being the first to hit retail). Just as important as those though Nike Sale Australia were the EXT versions of the shoe. These "Extension" designs represented the transition of LeBron's line into the lifestyle realm with high profile releases like the "Cork" and "Hazelnut".

Slightly less successful but still an important footnote for this entry into the Nike LeBron line was the Nike LeBron 10 NSW Lifestyle, which further pushed his sneakers toward the off-court realm. See some of the more clamored after LeBron 10 pairs below, plenty of them no doubt still fresh in your memory, and stay tuned for tomorrow's conclusion of our 11 Days of Nike LeBron series here on Sneaker News.
