An Additional Look At LeBron Soldier 9 "Nike Basketball Academy" PE

Back in June, Nike held their first annual Nike Basketball Academy event hosting some of the top college and high school players in the country. LeBron James made a special appearance, breaking out the LeBron 13’s, but we also got a chance to check out a special version of the LeBron Soldier 9 created exclusively for the players attending the Academy.

Much like the Rise edition, the “Academy” Soldier 9 PE offers a colorful design full or gradients, but instead of Black sports a toned Wolf Grey upper. Additionally, the shoe is full of additional signature references like the Akron area code (330) and OH (Ohio) on the back. You can find a pair on eBay every now and then in the $300-400 range. Check out more pics below or jump into the album.
