Nike Zoom Soldier III

  LeBron is many things to many people: leader, teammate, a record breaker, MVP, a hero, living legend, unstoppable.But come playoff time, he gears up for battle and becomes the soldier. This year the Zoom Soldier III is his weapon of choice. LeBron’s game has changed since his first playoff run. He’s faster, more powerful, more explosive and far more versatile than ever before. At only 12.5 ounces, the new ultra-lightweight Soldier III is also different, keeping him lighter on his feet and faster for his race for the crown. The new synthetic leather upper features breathable ballistic mesh panels and tongue for lightweight durability and ventilation. The Triple stitching on the upper makes the shoe stronger when he goes strong to the basket. The two midfoot straps give him a lock-down and secure fit for his explosive first step. Two Zoom Air bags, in the heel and forefoot, protect him from the big impacts. To keep him steady, the outsole tread was inspired by the milk crate he used as a hoop when he was a kid in Akron.
