Nike LeBron Zoom Soldier 8 “USA”
Aug 8th
Though we’ve seen it on court already, namely on the feet of DeMarcus Cousins at Team USA Camp, the Nike LeBron Zoom Soldier 8 “USA” will hit stores this weekend. The “USA” version of the Soldier 8 is officially a white/white-obsidian-university red release and its unmistakably patriotic. A white and obsidian mesh upper is Hyperfused together to create a flexible, breathable, durable, and – most importantly – lightweight sneaker. A university red strap, which has become a staple of the Soldier line, sits over the laces and under the blue and red LeBron branding. The obisidan midsole is interrupted by red teeth poking up from the outsole. Look for the Nike Zoom Soldier VIII “USA” on the feet of some of the Team USA’s brightest Nike-sponsored stars at the end of the month in Spain and this Saturday, August 9th at Foot Locker, House of Hoops by Foot Locker, and Footlocker.com (starting at 8am EDT) for $ 130.
Nike Zoom Soldier 8 ‘USA’
Aug 5th
The Nike Zoom Soldier 8′s stock continues to rise in the eyes of fans everywhere, since LeBron opted to rock them more often than his signature shoe in this past season’s playoff run. In this rendition, the sneaker gets a “USA” treatment which is done with mature and cool composure rather than a loud mix which sometimes happens with patriotic color schemes. Leather takes the backseat for this one, as synthetics structure the entire upper, seen most strikingly on a university red strap and Dynamic Flywire of the same shade. Obsidian outlines the model’s sharp lines, with white residing on the base and branding.
Available in stores and online Saturday.

Nike Zoom HyperRev Kyrie Irving PE
May 6th
This Saturday, May 10th, will see the release of two Kyrie Irving player edition colorways of the Nike Zoom HyperRev. The HyperRev, one of Nike’s newest performance basketball shoes, is also the second shoe to get the Kyrie Irving PE treatment after the 2013 Hyperdunk.

Both also feature Kyrie’s branded logo “K” across the front of the Velcro ankle strap.
