On Court: Kobe Bryant VS. Lebron James

Earlier today, Kobe Bryant and his fellow Los Angeles Lakers came to Quicken Loans Arena to take on the Cleveland Cavaliers. Though Kobe Bryant was reported to be ill and needed intravenous fluids at halftime, his Lakers pulled through with a 101-91 victory with notable performances from Odom and Gasol. Though the game was exciting, the true excitement was brought while sneakerheads compared the two supertars’ sneaker choices. Lebron James showed up with a new Fairfax Nike Zoom Lebron VI (6), while Kobe started the game with the Carpe Diem Nike Zoom Kobe IV (4) and switched to the Venom KBIV at the quarter break. Even though Bryant’s sneaker switch is quite an interesting topic, most sneakerheads stared in awe at what James was rocking. This is our first look at the Fairfax colorway of the Zoom Lebron VI and it looks quite promising.

Now the choice is yours. Who do you think won the sneaker matchup—Kobe Bryant or Lebron James? Check out detailed pictures of both pairs after the ‘jump!’ Pictures via Yahoo.

  1. What's up with Bron signing his shoe ahead of time and slapping an UD Authenticated sticker on it. Man… that's pure business CHEESE!

    I still vote VI Fairfax!

  2. I think the Carpe Diems are the best shoe out. I think the ZK4 are the best shoe out right now.

  3. ZK4 and Hyperdunks Baby!!! The Lebron 6s are alright, i mean theyre not fugly. And if you guys caught the game, i hope you saw that little pivot-fake-fadeaway shot that kobe did. Signature Kobe man!!!!HAHAHA. Man, straight up $h!tted on Lebron with that one.

  4. i thought at the beginning of the game bron was rockin the china? yeah i was blowing up my boys cells when kobe switched from the carpe's to the venom! i love the venom! great colorway…love it!!! kinda flashy but the colors make the shoe pop! i love that colorway. the carpes are pretty cool too especially the translucent bottom!

  5. I was there. Great game, regardless of the home team falling apart in the 4th quarter. Looks like LeBron or Upper Deck have plans for that pair. Signed and authenticated before the game….that's hilarious.

  6. wow, i like both shoes, but i'm feelin the LeBron colorway more. If i were to buy, i'd buy the ZKIV's though customized. I was going to buy a custom pair of ZKIV's last week, but pulled back at the last moment. I'll probably buy them soon.

    Anyways, back to the game, LeBron's scoring and clutch-ness was exposed against the Lakers. The Lakers bigs have size and quickness, giving LeBron tons of trouble in the paint. Never mind his outside shot, its average. Only if he had a mid-range game….

    DID YOU GUYS SEE THAT RAINBOW FADEAWAY IN THE 4th QUARTER BY KOBE?!?!?!?!?!

  7. yoo lebron is betta than kobe ,,,,,,,,kobe good buh …ccmon its lebron baby u cant hate on hmm.

  8. Honestly i have to say at that point in time Kobe probably STOMPED LeBron's butt in that game! No affence to anybody i mean i like James more that Kobe, But Kobe still kicked his but! haha :)
