Lebron James Basketball Shoes Nike Zoom
Nike Zoom Lebron Soldier - Navy Patent
Leather
Last season, I witnessed how Lebron James took away again the crowd’s
eye right before my eyes by just wearing the latest design for his Nike
series – the Nike Zoom Soldier. The White/Navy/Gold and White/Gold
colorways of the Nike Zoom Soldier distracted my attention for quite
some time.
At the Cavalier’s open game last Friday, I was dumbstruck to see LeBron
wearing another colorway of the Nike Zoom Soldier. This time, I was
startled to see a white version with a navy patent leather structured in
a sleek form. The shiny, dark toe of the design creates a high contrast
on the white base color, which, I think is simple but elegant. I am
really not much into the Nike Zoom Soldier collection. However, the
straps downrightly accentuated this pair of shoes making it very
conspicuous in hard court.
This pair will be part of the limited release of the Nike Zoom Soldier.
Together with this recent model are the other versions of this design
which are the Zoom LeBron Soldier Christ the King Player Exclusive.
Zoom LeBron 5
No one has the complete game like LeBron. Dangerous from all five
positions, he keeps opponents off guard with a massive arsenal of moves.
His unstoppable inside game. His magic touch from the outside. The
infamous tomahawk. And don’t even get me started on his defense. With
the rock locked in his five fingers of death, there’s no limit to what
he can do. To celebrate the return of the King, we present the Zoom
LeBron V. A clean, classic white body with a navy blue patent leather
toe cap, the shoe features a polished front strap adorned with a golden
swoosh and the mighty crowned lion emblazoned on the tongue. And in case
you forgot where it all began, a map of Akron is embedded in the sole.
Zoom LeBron 4
The Zoom Lebron 4 will be the fourth Zoom Lebron signature shoe. From
first glance, you can see a striking resemblance to the Playoff colorway
of the Air Jordan 11. These shoes have a split outsole that look very
much like the Nike Free shoes and the upper appears to be a posite
material. The front of the shoe has “XXIII” on the front which is the
Roman numeral for Lebron’s jersey number - 23.
Nice Kicks got an exclusive sneaker peak of other parts of the Zoom
Lebron 4 and I’ve got to say that these are going to be the best Zoom
Lebrons yet. The shoes have a carbron fiber shank in the sole which will
provide great support. The shoes also have elastic bands that go across
the tongue like the Nike Uptempo. The shoes also feature the famous
King James lion logo on the tongue. So far we have seen 3 colorways of
the Zoom Lebron 4 - White/Navy, Black/White/Red, and All Black. These
shoes will be ones you do NOT want to miss out on.
Zoom LeBron 4 Fruity Pebbles
Inspired by LeBron James favorite cereal Fruity Pebbles, comes the Nike
Lebron IV which nickname stats it all. You do not need a closer look to
see the multi colored midsole which resembles the cereal but you do need
to look a little closer to see the matching sockliner. With the white
leather uppers goes hand and hand with the cereal theme. Click more to
see all the pictures, and below we have the wallpaper (same as above)
for you to use.
Out of the bazillion different Player Exclusives Lebron has stepped onto
the court this year, there is no single shoe talked about more than the
“Fruity Pebbles” Lebron 4. These shoes have gone on tour with Lebron
James displays across the country and may now be available to the
public.
According to a few sources, the “Fruity Pebbles” Lebron 4 will be
available as an online only release. Limited to 250-300 pairs, it has
been rumored that these will sell for $250.
Zoom LeBron IV All-Star 2007
To celebrate LeBron James’ selection to the 2007 NBA East All-Star Team,
Nike is scheduled to release a Las Vegas inspired Zoom LeBron IV. The
“All-Star” LBJ IV features a Gold upper with Maroon accents and a
Metallic Gold sole.
The Nike Zoom Lebron IV All Star Edition are available in Las Vegas
only.
Zoom LeBron III
Zoom LeBron III. The new design with leather support tabs, full zoom air
unit in the heel and forefoot, carbon fiber spring plate, great
traction and the sphere technology in the collar to offer comfort and
helps manage moisture makes the Zoom LeBron III one of the best
basketball shoes ever made!
The Nike Zoom Lebron III are the third edition in the Lebron James
signature shoe line produced by Nike. The Zoom Lebron 3 combines again
great design for style as well as for performance.
With Nike having paid $90 Million for LeBron, keeping him injury free
was a top priority. Many of you may remember that Grant Hill got a $80
Million deal from Fila, but due to his reoccuring injuries, that
endoresment was a major loss for the brand. The Zoom Lebron 2 was
designed to protect Nike’s biggest asset on the court, but the Zoom
Lebron 3 does an even better job.
For starters, the Zoom Lebron 3 has better grip on the hardwood than
prior models. This helped Lebron make more point guard like cuts on the
floor without risking losing his grip. The Zoom Lebron 3 again featured a
sturdy support shell at the back of the shoe. This, along with a
reinforcing TPU clip, prevents a serious injury from an ankle rollover.
In the middle of the sole, the Lebron 3 has a carbon fibre shank plate
which provides additional lateral support.
Zoom LeBron 20-5-5
The Nike Lebron 20-5-5 was released in the summer of 2005. The Lebron
20-5-5 are the first Lebron shoe not part of the Zoom Lebron line. The
relationship is similar to the Jumpman shoes which carry the Jordan name
and logo. The Nike Lebron 20-5-5 are a great shoe for basketball
whether on the street or the hardwood.
These were a pretty big hit for a summer sneaker and so big that Nike is
bringing out the Nike Lebron 20-5-5 again for the summer of 2006.
Zoom LeBron II
The Nike Zoom Lebron 2 was the second signature shoe released under the
Lebron name. These shoes blew away the Air Zoom Generations on so many
levels and are still today argued to be the best Lebron shoes ever made.
These featured a double stacked Zoom Air unit underneith the entire
shoe. The shoe also had far more support than before with a stiffer
sole. Nike went a little crazy with the laser machine and lasered
Lebron’s LJ23 logo and King James lion logo on the shoe as well as other
accents.
The low cuts were a huge success. These sold better than any Jordan low
that I can remember. The low cuts also had a very striking resemblance
to the mid cut version sold earlier in the year.
For his 20th birthday, Nike released an online exclusive “Birthday”
Lebron 2s. These were all black and made of a premium quality of
leather.
Nike Air Zoom Generation
The title Nike has bestowed upon Lebron James signature shoe is a
fitting one. The term Generation refer to a new era for both Nike and
the basketball world alike. When Dr.J ended his career in '84, a rookie
by the name of Michael Jordan carried on the torch to open a new era of
basketball. As MJ fades into sunset in 2003, Lebron is ready to seize
the vacated throne and take things to yet another level. As legacies are
built and generations evolve, the importance of the Air Zoom Generation
can not be measured easily. For Nike, what's at stake is more than the
$90 million to secure Lebron. At the root of the company's dreams is a
vision that the LJ23 signature line can eventually replace the ultimate
legend of our times - the Air Jordan. If you are unconvinced, just look
at where the resources are being assigned at Nike headquarter. Eric
Avar, Aaron Cooper, and Chief Designer Tinker Hatfield (yes, the same
legend that designed Air Jordan III through AJ XV) were ALL put on the
project to design Lebron's first shoe. In terms of sneaker design, that
is a world-class Dream Team aka Barcelona '92. You know what they say:
"the thing that you spend most of your time, energy and money on will be
the thing most important in your life". In this case, Nike's foremost
importance has been the Air Zoom Generation.
