Recently Released: Zoom LBJ Ambassador II White/Black/Gold »

How many shoes does the Nike LeBron line consist of? By our unofficial count the answer is: five. At first there was only one – the numbered one. Then… the 20-5-5 made its debut as a perfect summer/outdoor basketball shoe, which later transformed into the Soldier line. Also, since the beginning, LeBron’s sigs come out as a low-top version too. Last season Nike announced their latest Asia/Pacific project – the Ambassador – which targets lower price points. Now after the information about a special Post Season sneaker has hit the net… seems like there really are five different LeBron James shoes coming out in one year… Start of the season: Numbered, Ambassador Playoffs: Post Season, Soldier Summer/pre-season: Low-top, Soldier TB. The Soldier appears twice, because its future is still unclear. After the P.S. will take the center stage in the Playoffs, seems like the Soldier needs to step down as a Team shoe. After all, we’ve already seen a bunch of Team Bank colorways while a signature version remains nowhere to be seen. What do you thinks about this strategy? Let’s wait and see how the story unfolds. In the meantime… check out the White/Black/Gold style of the Zoom LBJ Ambassador II that hit stores in January… Asian stores that is.
