SOLE: Sneakers Shoes

words_Nick DePaula

Here’s a look at a Friends & Family version of the Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier II, in a black and 3M graphic colorway. While there’s no exact word on how limited of a production run this style was made in, the upper’s mid-panel incorporates a similar 3M graphic to that of the ‘United We Rise’ imagery that is featured on the footwear of this summer’s USA Men’s Basketball team. The main swooping overlay of the shoe is a black nubuck, while the outsole features black solid rubber and an orange Dunkman logo. While there may be a scuff on this pair, it’s good to know that even collectibles can get put to their original use.
