As the strongest and longest-lived signature shoe of Nike-Zoom LeBron, its secondary sneaker was named "Soldier".

? 1997 After the Jordan brand became independent from Nike, Nike's basketball signature shoes blossomed, and the signature shoes of Buckley, Hardaway, Pippen and Peyton created a unique golden age. However, the most successful and longest-lived signature series in Nike's history is lebron james's LeBron sports shoes.

As the strongest and longest-lived signature shoe of Nike, Zoom LeBron opened a secondary line in 2007. Because he was called "the king" when he debuted, his second-line shoes were named "soldiers".

This legend has gone through a period from its birth to the present. After the ups and downs, The Soldier, once comparable to signature shoes, seems to have returned to its original point.

Not only in the playoffs, but also in the offseason, James also spared no effort to promote soldiers.

In 2006, the first sub-line test of Zoom 20-5-5 also laid the foundation for future soldier projects. Even though the American team was still disappointing at the World Championships that year, James's new shoes still won a good reputation.

In 2007, the first generation of soldiers appeared in the finals with James, still using the strap design with the LeBron logo at that time. This pair of line shoes officially became James' playoff boots, and it has been like this every year since then.

Although it was swept in 2007, the brightest sneakers in the finals were Zoom Soldier.

In 2008, soldier 2, whose appearance changed greatly, put on the coat of the Olympic Games again. After all, LeBron has been in soldier time since mid-April.

As we all know, LeBron took a hard road in design, while the soldiers slowly tilted towards lightweight design, which was considered to reduce James' burden in the playoffs.

Starting from Zoom Soldier 3, this series of designs began to be lightweight.

After James's annual playoff delivery, more and more players put on soldiers in the league, and some superstars who once owned signature shoes also had their own PE soldiers.

After ending his trademark sneakers, Stoudemire also became a "warrior"

James's three consecutive championships are inseparable from the company of soldiers. But in my opinion, the peak of the whole series appeared in the eighth generation.

This generation of soldiers has a very high exposure in the NBA and the surrounding wild fields. With the seasonal technologies such as Hyperfuse upper, dynamic flying line, velcro zipper and Zoom Air, the performance of this pair of shoes is comparable to that of any pair of signature shoes at that time.

Zoom Soldier 8 is everywhere in the NBA.

Since the 8th generation, Soldier has also started to have the Flyease version.

In my opinion, the eighth generation is also the last highlight of the soldier series. Since the ninth generation, the length of shoelaces has plummeted, which makes it difficult for many ordinary consumers to adapt. I am one of them.

Zoom Soldier 9 is the last generation of soldiers' shoes that have blossomed everywhere in the NBA.

Today, Nike and Adidas are trying their best to promote shoeless basketball shoes. Soldiers are one of the pioneers, but from 10 generation to 13 generation, not only consumers don't buy it, but even NBA players are getting less and less.

Because he has a lot of sneakers under his name, James changes his shoes frequently, which is rare in the league.

Soldiers who used to have unlimited scenery have slowly walked down the altar since they changed their design without shoes. However, is it just because the design is out of favor?

Soldiers without shoelaces 10 originally had a big color block that was very suitable for ID, but unfortunately I passed because of "stingy feet".

Looking closely at the time node, we can find that the first pair of shoeless soldiers 10 was born when Owen, George and other signature shoes were listed one after another, which took away most of the popularity of soldiers in the NBA, especially in shopping malls. In addition, another branch of LeBron's "special envoy" is increasingly positioned, and it is really difficult for soldiers who are "trapped in internal and external affairs" to regain their courage.
