New Nike Soldier 3s – Triple Black and Black/White Colorways »

“A basketball player’s body takes a beating over the course of an 82 game season,” said Design Director Ken Link. “The Nike Zoom Soldier III is designed to give LeBron a lightweight, responsive shoe for the playoffs, when every game counts.” Constructed to be lower to the ground and extremely responsive, the Nike Zoom Solider III weighs in at a mere 14.05 ounces (in size 10), the lightest basketball shoe Nike has delivered to LeBron James, to date. It features a mesh upper for lightweight breathability. Two synthetic-leather straps across the top of the mid-foot provide a stable, lock-down fit and add the stylish look. The mid-sole is comprised of Nike Zoom Air units in the heel and forefoot for lightweight, responsive cushioning. A non-traditional solid rubber outsole provides unmatched traction and durability. As usual expect tons of colorways which we have been accustomed to, while dealing with LeBron James’ shoes. On of them will be a sleek All Black version, which is very useful matching all possible outfits. Another design, which is something very fresh we might add, consists of a Black Leather/Mesh upper and an all White midsole, laces and swoosh. It’s a very classic and appealing combination, very popular among sneakerheads. Stay tuned to NLB.net for more information once available.

Two Versions of the “Aqua” Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier III »

LeBron James will debut the Nike Zoom Soldier III on the court today when Cleveland takes on Detroit. Designed with James’ playoffs needs in mind, the Nike Zoom Soldier III is the lightest shoe designed for James, to date, with this Nike Zoom Soldier series becoming LeBron’s perennial playoff footwear. The White, Black and Aqua colorway presented below is one of the upcoming models. However, there are two versions representing two different styles – one flashy with Patent Leather all over and the other one more less eye pleasing, but a little more practical. It’s unclear, which is the one to drop, but if I was about to guess I would pick the one with PL, cause it features the same toe box rand as the actual production models. Which one is better?

Looking Back at Nike Zoom 20-5-5 With the 2006 Playoff PE »

Yesterday the third Soldier incarnation was finally released to public. Today we want to look back at the shoe that started this very interesting movement and we’ve got a bunch of nice photos just for the occasion. The Nike Zoom 20-5-5, first summer shoe in the LBJ line, was released in two waves. The first batch dropped in 2005 shortly after LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers missed the NBA Playoffs due to a loosing record with the New Jersey Nets (tied for the 8th spot). With only three colorways released, without any hype or anticipation at that point, there wasn’t much to talk about. But the design was nearly flawless!
