Will Zoom Soldier III Take Down the Hyperdunk?

I’m sure everybody is familiar with the myth that all LeBron shoes are heavy. For a very long time that statement seemed to be true. However, Nike came back and advertised the latest installment of the Zoom LeBron series – The Six – as the lightest sneaker since the Air Zoom Generation. No, they did not lie. Although just by looking at the shoe many think it’s bulky and heavy, they feel great on the hardwood and our tests and the review proved it’s all true. Looks like Nike will continue to push the envelope. According to our friends at kenlu.net, the sample version of the upcoming Nike Zoom Soldier III – which is a part of King’s Playoffs line – weigths 380 grams (13.40 oz.) in size 9. That is the same level as the Hyperdunk(!), whose tagline reads “lightest and strongest basketball shoe ever!” Which shoe will be lighter doesn’t really matter, cause the difference will be marginal. But if Nike provides the ZS3 as light as the HD and eliminates its major flaws – bottoming out Lunar Foam and poor traction – then we need to prepare to experience something very, very special. All I can say now is I didn’t see that coming! Suddenly I can’t wait till the premiere of the Nike Zoom Soldier III, which is scheduled to be released in April.

    Actually they will be $110.

  • To be honest this shoe is a steal! First: the shoes are not as bad as they used to look, in fact they look really nice! Second the shoe is only $110 and is going to be the lightest LeBron yet!!! Complete steal, LeBron is going to do great in playoffs!

  • Before all of you demand that it is too good or something? You all should see the real ZS 3 in person. I can't say its a bad shoe or good but when the time you see it that probably might change your opinions. NLB more angle of the pictures show the other side of the soldier 3 most of the pic that are leaking in the net are the same more angles.
