This is not what you expect for a Christmas themed shoe but a closer look at the insole may help better explain this color way. Instead of traditional Christmas colors of red, white and green the colors of this Christmas Edition LeBron shoe was inspired by one of childhood Christmas’. The GS exclusive features a black, white, orange and blue color scheme, a patent black quilted looking textured side panels to go along with a black patent toe box. The rest of the shoe is practically white with some blue and orange accenting, like the white toecap and white swoosh outlined with orange. The only indications that these are a Christmas shoe are the tree logo on the tongue, and of course the insole, which is covered with a picture of “Prince James” ball in hand next to a small basketball hoop. These will release sometime this month (relatively soon) at select Nike retailers in limited numbers. Tech Info after the jump. Via: SC

Nike Zoom LeBron VI GS
Colorway: Black/White-Varsity Royal-Orange Blaze
Style Code: 346521-012

The above sneaker will be representing The City of Angels in the LeBron VI City Pack due to drop next year. We already showed you the NYC and Miami versions of LeBron’s sixth signature shoe, which did a pretty good job for their respective cities. The LA version is similar to the Athlete version that dropped in October, because of the light grey upper. The upper is actually a mixture of light and dark grey leather and fabric, with a dark grey swoosh outlined in black leather. Near the near you will see LeBron’s Dunkman Logo in white surrounded by five circles filled with five different colors (red, blue, green, orange, and yellow). The midsole is covered entirely in graffiti style writing with LeBron-themed words like; Ohio, Akron, Fearless, and Passion just to name to a few. Catch these in action January 19^th when the Cavs head to LA to take on the Lakers. No word on a release date yet. VIA: SN
