Nike Zoom Soldier II China Exclusive with Patent Leather

One of the most exciting things about LeBrons is the number of different color ways and styles that make the whole going-after-the-ones-you-like game so much fun. Of course some are overwhelmed by it, and sometimes the exclusiveness of various shoes makes other people give up. However, in the end there’s plenty to go around and hopefully the real fans will always find a way. It’s not like anyone can have them all, right? One of the examples of the surprises you may encounter is the profiled today Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier II China Exclusive. It doesn’t get much love cause it’s outside of the main signature line, but it’s a perfect release for the hardcore enthusiasts and of course Chinese fans, for whom it’s doubly special. The featured model is not the one that got released! Look very closely as you will see that there’s something different about them. In case you need something to compare check out the Showcase we published last month. Still can’t see it?… okay here’s the answer… there are two versions of the China Soldiers. The regular one has a standard nothing-to-be-excited-about leather, but the one below has that shiny Patent Leather look (yes, the title gave it out). Big props to our friend dOubleO, who was kind enough to share his discovery. When you hit ebay looking for a pair be sure to look very closely as you might find a similar deal with a sample hiding as a GR. UPDATE: new photos with better lightning show the Patent Leather more clearly.
