Review details Nike Lebron Soldier XI

If the Lebron shoe line can be considered the face and the sharpest weapon of The King in the NBA arena, the lower shoe line, the Soldier, is like a safe and solid shield every time the season is near to the end. and. Do you remember the games that scored more than 40 points per game at the 2009 Playoffs, or most recently the 2016 Cavaliers championship? Soldier appeared on most such sublimation occasions of Lebron James.

As an extra line of shoes but Soldier has 11 versions that are shaped gradually with each year. In my opinion this was probably one of the most perfect forms of Lebron Soldier.

I. Design, Material

Lebron Soldier XI retains the main ingredient from X with a mesh body plate covering the entire surface but covered with braided fabric or leather (depending on color scheme) around the nose. No longer a pair of boots as tall as the X, but XI was slimmer, tidier, but still quite cumbersome when using up to 4 straps.

Extremely stiff Phylon pads continue to appear on top of the two Zoom pads on the nose and heels. The special feature here is the fake design of Unlocked Zoom when two airbags are protruding from the outsole. The sole used this time is a very sturdy triangular pattern, promising better grip last year.

Evaluate:

• Right size or up half
• Extremely hugging, good lock-down, no heels slipping
• The foot in is somewhat cumbersome

I myself always buy the size US10.5 on almost any shoe, which is about 0.25 more than the true size. As a result, Lebron Soldier XI fits very well even with thin or thick socks and is only slightly uncomfortable if he goes for too long. You should buy the correct size or the same size as the previous Soldier versions. If you want to go casual more, you should add half the size for comfort.

The shoe insertion process is a bit annoying at first due to the wide but not stretchy collar. You need to open the top two straps, put your hands in the cloth on both your tongue and heels to get them in. In return, once the tail falls, it is simply “1, 2”, sticking the two handles as you like.

Adjusting the hug on Soldier XI is quite simple

Although the upper layer is thin, the heel cushion is still thick enough to help your heels stay in place. Lebron Soldier XI’s Fit probably doesn’t feel as secure as the X, but is much more convenient than Soldier X at his disposal. Thin, light, flexible, sure, yet handy are the feelings that Lebron XI brings.

III. Adhesion

Evaluate:

• Very good grip, especially gum base
• Convex soles should quickly wear out when outdoor

In contrast to the connected square design at X, Soldier XI’s convex triangles provide extremely high friction for the shoe. You can easily see this anytime, anywhere because this base layer is very “loud”. In the condition of a slightly dusty and clean yard, I have not had any problems with grip.

When there is much dust, the gum base of the Royal color scheme used for testing is also particularly stable. What you need is just to clean it to make it clearer, not worry about slipping.

However, these are just personal feelings of the writer. Quite a few beautiful Lebron Soldier XI models use an inner sole and are often criticized for being slippery in some cases. Even Lebron himself failed several times on the field in the last NBA Finals. For the most safety, buy color schemes with gum bases or opaque rubber soles.

Soldier XI’s durability is somewhat reduced due to the convex Zoom design. Chances are the Zoom bag will have a problem if there is too much pressure from the concrete yard. In contrast, the rubber material is still quite hard and can support you about 2-3 months outdoor.

IV. Buffer / Cushioning

Evaluate:

• Zoom is extremely responsive, fast
• Thin, good pitch feeling
• Reflection is pretty average

Responsiveness is the most mentioned word when you read the reviews about Lebron Soldier XI. I was also extremely surprised to try it out because the Zoom bag is compressed and rebound very effectively, creating a very light bounce with low latency.

The hard Phylon is probably intentionally increasing the sensitivity of the Zoom pad, but the convex Zoom design is the most sensible answer. Like the 2016 Hyperrev, Soldier XI is one of the great Zoom soles you can try.

V. Support

Evaluate:

• The base is wide, the edge of the base is quite large
• Good fit, solid material

As a Soldier, nothing worth mentioning in this section. The wide sole and the proper use of materials provide stability for your foot.

Thanks to the reinforcement of a layer of fabric (or leather in the premium version), X’s biggest weakness is also solved. You will no longer worry about your foot slipping off when braking.

One thing I still worry about comes from the protruding base itself. However, during the test, Soldier XI did not bring a sense of loss of balance when stepping on the protruding part of the base.

BECAUSE. Conclusion – Nike Lebron Soldier XI

Pros:

• Fit very well without wires.
• Light compared to the Soldier line in general
• Extremely sure
• Zoom volume is small but responsive and bouncing

Cons:

• Outdoor convex so easy to wear outdoor
• The Phylon is hard + Zoom is sensitive so it is not really suitable for those who need a lot of damping

Suitable for all positions

Soldier XI deserves an extremely high score if it does not encounter the problem of the durability of the floating base and the indoor grip of the indoor base.

Sensitive, light, convenient, Lebron Soldier XI is a shoe suitable for every position, something most brands are aiming for. If you need a lot of cushioning, then maybe this is not the first option, but try adidas Boost, it would be more reasonable. Purchase: contact KicksGeeks.
