A Detailed Look at Nike LeBon Soldier 11 Wheat

Back in 2004 the Air Zoom Generation “borrowed” the timeless Wheat theme from lifestyle to performance footwear. Ever since then Wheat colored Nike Basketball kicks are a common occurrence.

The Nike LeBron 12 EXT Wheat was probably one of the nicest executions to date.

This season Nike decided to grace the LeBron Soldier 11 with a Wheat option along with Suede overlays, semi-translucent gum outsole and Metallic Gold branding.

The Wheat LEBRON SOLDIER XI was released last month at Nike Basketball retailers as a GR for $140.
