Final version of sneakers are usually different from the early stage samples, often seen via catalog pics. It happens all the time. While we know there was a big change regarding the design of the ZL6 Low, we’ve been able to track some minor tweaks of the Solder III. Apart from shaping up, the final version has #2 next to the top eyelet (lateral side) and #3 on the medial side. Samples featured #3 on the outside. Also, instead of ZOOM the outsole under the toebox reads LEBRON now. The tongue seems to be a bit shorter, but the rest has not changed, even the outsole has stayed the same. Click ‘Read the rest of this entry’ link to see both models. UPDATE: There is a third, final version, which has a different sole (red flex grooves) and the toe rand is longer as it reaches the midsole. New pics after the jump. Thanks to LE23RON.

Yeah, good call on the tongue... I'm so SICK of the big tongue thing just for fashionista trends. :roll:
Is it just me or does this shoe KIND OF remind you of the Kobe II Strength?? Check this link http://www.soleredemption.com/pics/2007/08/nike-zoom-kobe-strength-usa-large.jpg

The GR pair looks a lil bit different.

These shoes are tight, can't wait to get them when they come out, thankful they are only $110
