Unwrapping the Nike Zoom Soldier III from a ZLVI Drawer Box »

There are couple interesting facts about the latest LeBron James signature shoes – Nike Zoom Soldier III. First, it’s actually the LIGHTEST Zoom LBJ sneaker ever!!! Not lightest since the AZG like the Six, but other shoes don’t come even close. In my size (10US) it weights just below 400 grams (398), while the Hyperdunk has been listed at 388. It’s very close, but there are no compromises like for example Lunar Foam or Flywire. So expect the cushy Zoom Air unit (front and back), amazing lockdown due to midfoot straps and very solid traction as well. The fit is rather narrow, but compared to the ZLVI the sizing is similar. However, some of you might consider going half size up. Second, the box is exactly the same as the VI’s. Down to every single detail including the tissue paper. It’s nice to see an elegant black drawer box instead of the regular orange Nike boxes. Enjoy couple new pics from our friend RaNdZ4937. We will post some more photos in the upcoming days including an update in the weightionary plus the first impression after some tests on the hardwood.
