Release Date Reminder: Playoffs Zoom Soldier II »

Next week, Nike is set to release the much anticipated “Playoff” Black/White/Red Zoom Soldier II colorway. It’s already the second ZSII colorway, after the initial White/Navy/Red hit the stores last last month. The much anticipated colorway has been introduced by LeBron James in this year’s NBA Playoffs as his road games shoe. Updated from the previous Nike Zoom Soldier shoe, the ZSII has a new upper and outsole design set on heel and forefoot Zoom Air units for low-profile responsive cushioning. The outsole pattern was inspired by LeBron’s childhood growing up on Hickory street, playing hoops with a milk crate as the basket. Check our more pics of the releasing product below. Visit your local sneaker spots now as some stores got the shoes early. Relese info: Zoom Soldier II | 318694-101 | White/Black-Varsity Crimson-Metallic Gold | 06/06/2008 | $110.

Afreakyboy’s Zoom LeBron Hardwood Classic Collection »

From time to time, here on NLB.net, we show you various collections completed by LeBron James shoes’ fans. Recently we showed you DoubleO’s and Visrael’s SVSM theme sets and it’s hard not to mention Abt with his spectacular Dunkman collection. You don’t have to buy PEs to achieve something like this… GRs are just as exciting… for example look here. For the past two years, apart from the Home, Away and Alternate matching shoes, LeBron James has been sporting a special Hardwood Classic colorway commemorating Cavs’ 1986-87 season. It also matches popular New York Knicks team colors. His two home colorways plus last year’s the Birthday exclusive make a nice pack. There’s one more HWC shoe personalized for King James – Zoom Soldier I HWC PE – but so far no photo leaked to the net. Click ‘Read the rest of this entry’ link to see photos of the HWC set completed by afreakyboy.

New Gallery Complete Nike Zoom LeBron V Showcase »

For those, who are not familiar with our photo gallery system here’s a quick tutorial. In general every Nike LeBron model, featured on this website, has three different albums – Listing, Gallery and Showcase. Listing lists all the known shoes, at least the ones, which leaked to the Internet. Gallery is where all the other pics are being kept… from General Release to Player Exclusive and Samples. The final Showcase is special cause it’s separated from the Gallery and the idea behind it is to show all the GR models from various angles. It’s complementary to our Fake Guides section, which contains various tips on how to spot a fake. The showcase should help you by showing most of the released LeBrons on a real pics. That being said today we launch a new album – Zoom LeBron V Showcase. Big props to our friend Balalun!

Nike Zoom Soldier II Elite Team Basketball Sample »

Last year, after releasing the Zoom Soldier I in the summer, Nike released four team colorways in the fall as the basketball season usually starts. Nike LeBron’s latest Zoom Soldier II is said to be released in several team colorways this year as well, but more versions are rumored to drop. We mentioned about it back in January. Actually there are a few samples around and the first live pics of the Solider II, that we posted some time ago, featured one of the mentioned team shoes. Soldier II Elite TB is easy to distinguish cause they have an Elite logo on the tongue instead of LeBron’s Win-Fearless-Vision-Family-Passion circle. Check out new pics of the Deep Forest/Deep Forest-Medium Grey Nike Zoom Soldier II.
