A first live look at the Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier II

Thanks to the guys at juebankongjian.com we get a close look at the next Nike LeBron signature sneaker Zoom Soldier II. So far we’ve seen the shoes only via catalog photos, but this time the kicks are real. They feature White, Gray and Red colors plus Akron’s map etched across the upper with Hickory Street highlighted on the inner side. The Hickory Street is the place where LeBron James was raised by his mother Gloria and grandmother Freda. This is also the spot where LeBron started to play basketball using a milk crate hung on a telephone as the neighborhood basketball hoop attached by a few nails at whatever height the tallest available boy could reach. For that reason the sole pattern in the Zoom Soldier II is called “Milkcrate Technology”, which is inspired by LeBron’s childhood.
