Nike Zoom Soldier IV Early Sample That WON’T Get Released

As you can see right there in the title we wanted to avoid confusion right from the beginning. So please note that what you see below will not get released in any way. We posted the Official Nike Zoom Soldier IV couple days back and it is THE ONE releasing next summer. I’m sure some of you remember the first version that leaked to the Internet, but the official word from Nike is “they are fakes”. This brings us to the subject of this post – the Sample ZSIV. Seems like there was a complete brainstorm at Nike when designing the Soldier IV, cause the new sample is completely different from what will hit stores. It’s very unique and feels kind of unfinished, which is understandable. However, with the right colorway it would have had a lot of potential… that’s for sure. Digressing from the original topic and the official production model, which version from the three that have been posted is the best in your opinion?

  • [quote comment="40750"]not enough pics to say they arent terrible...pass.[/quote]
    Tomas, that's the thing... we won't get to pass on them, LOL. There are some similarities with the II's and that's never a bad thing.

  • Greg to answer your question, for me what comes first are the zoom/lunar samples which look SPECTACULAR and they have finally put an outrigger there :razz:
    Second come those and last the real IV's :mrgreen:

  • For sure jr_lyon! Hey Nike... go hire the cat that designed the fakes... they're 1,000 times better than either of your designs! :roll:

    i just mean if these werent fakes i dont think id like them...i actually am growing to like the design of the soldier 4, but want to see more actual pics not catalog mockups

  • nike needs to bring back te desgn of the athlete, not the brand. the 2,3,4,5 didnt have obnoxious giant swooshes on them. same with jordans shoes...theres no giant swoosh! its the design that counts
