May 2006 - King James Crazy 8
Air Zoom Duelist
  7.39 / 10
They’ll do battle and leave. There’ll be no score keepers. No whistles. No mascots. No teammates. There’ll be no trophies. A lot of things will be missing. What won’t be missing? Lebron. Kobe. A regulation size basketball. A rim. You get the idea. Straight balling. Oh yeah, and no Sig-shoes. Why? Because there’ll be no advantages. The Air Zoom Duelist: One game. One shoe. Zero excuses.

Oneism
  6.10 / 10
Kobe vs Lebron, Kobe & Lebron. These two players, by their gaming style, their leading position in their teams, their popularity, are individualities. From this statement, the shoe must be part of the body for them. There is only one entity : "my shoes and me are myself". Oneism is a shoe thought for them. Like roots go deep into the earth, they put the foot into the shoe who "climbs" around the leg. They can draw from the shoe the energy they need. The shoe features a yellow Neoplus based inner bootie for fit and comfort : breathable and thermoregulating stretch neoprene with high flexibility. The white elastic TPU upper lockdown the foot, it is made to measure, because they are unique. The rubber toe box allows protection, durability and additional lateral support. A rigid TPU heel counter and a carbon shank plate improve protection. The whole sole is based on an advanced cushioning system. -Oneism, the one is me-

Nike Air Zoom Iso Kobe
  6.76 / 10
Nike Air Zoom Iso Kobe was designed for any player looking for that ultimate light-weight and flexible basketball shoe. Crafted for the turns and hard cuts of players like Kobe Bryant, the Nike Air Zoom Iso Kobe features two large sinuous pods for maximum on court control, this shoe also features a full-length zoom air unit for low profile court feel and suspension. With a hate me, or love me design, but hopefully more LOVE me... the Nike Air Zoom Iso Kobe is what it is.

May 2006 - King James Crazy 8
AZK2 vs AZG2
  6.47 / 10
The AZK2 seeks to personify kb8's game; powerful, sleek, and stylish. It features a free type outsole/midsole to improve forefoot flexibility to facilitate the black mamba's aggressive game. The lightweight carbon fiber shank cradles the midfoot for stability, while the unique inner bootie is lined with thin layers of memory foam that should make for a custom fit. Flared outsole adds stability on quick cuts and the perforated panels add breathability.
The AZG2 was designed to be a more rugged shoe yet still having an element the finesse that exists in lbj game. the combination of power and agility that lebron posses, is mirrored with the use of the foamposite cage in the rear quarter that would provide tougher lateral support while synthetic upper would allow airflow into the foot as well as allow greater flexibility.

May 2006 - King James Crazy 8
Nike Air Zoom Vendetta
  8.09 / 10
The Nike Air Zoom Vendetta is the ultimate performance basketball shoe for the ultimate player - LeBron James. It combines ultra-modern technology with classic Nike design language, resulting in a very light, comfortable and highly responsive shoe. Some of its features include an ankle-height inner bootie which hugs the foot seamlessly and comfortably, while the integrated ankle strap provides a lock-down fit. A zipper shroud enhances the lock-down fit, as well as hides the laces. Large TPU swoosh on each side, along with a TPU heel counter, increase stability. A sculpted Multi-Directional carbon fiber spring plate adds torsional rigidity and provides support at the midfoot, especially at the arch. This is cradled by 2 individually sculpted, highly resilient "FREEVA" midsole units. Encapsulated, but partially visible forefoot and heel zoom air units provide cushioning. Since the carbon fiber plate rests directly on top of the zoom air bags, a previously unattainable level of responsiveness is achieved. Thick rubber outsole with deep flex grooves is durable and provides a natural feel undefoot. Details available here.
