LBJ Ditches Soldiers and Goes Back to LeBron 13 Elite vs. Hornets

The Nike Soldier 10 will be always remembered as the shoe for LBJ when he delivered his promise and won the Championship for the city of Cleveland. Not many people know, or remember, he only wore the Soldiers in 5 games (4 colorways) compared to 14 games (9 colorways) for the LeBron 13 Elite… including the first two games of the 2016 NBA Finals.

LeBron James and Nike Basketball have carried on the Soldier 10 momentum into the new season as James continued to use his sidekick shoe. In the meantime we all still await the unveiling of the next signature model… the LeBron 14, but that topic is still a dead end.

Last night King James went back to the LeBron 13 Elites. He used the White and Gold version, which is my personal favorite and I was surprised he didn’t wear it in the Playoffs. Additionally, he wore a previously unseen Black and Red version in practice, which he also wore two nights ago in Washington.
