Lebron soldier 12 performance review weartesters năm 2024

The Nike LeBron 21 promises to be a beast on court. It can be described as a remix of the Nike LeBron 20, and, that shoe was amazing, and in fact the best basketball shoe from last year. Barring any unfortunate surprises, this will be one of the top models this year, one of the most versatile, and one of the most comfortable on court, as well as an attainable Kobe substitute. Read the full review. Price: $200

The Posite material was nice as well. It was there but not noticeable. Well, I mean you could tell it was supporting your foot upon movements, but it wasn’t as if it was bothering you… it was there and doing its job, but remained out of the way. Like a cat… only I have no idea what job a cat would have except for staying out of the way. Meh… next subject…

Fit – They fit true to size and feel really nice on-foot. Much like the HyperRev, you just kind of feel cozy when you put your foot in… not the manliest way to describe something, but its the first thing that comes to mind. Lockdown was nice as well. You could tell that there was a small amount of space within the shoe once laced up since you’d see the tongue area of the upper fold or bind, but I never had any slipping internally… not even a little. I think these will accommodate a wider variety of foot shapes, unlike the 11.

The only thing I disliked about the fit was the lacing system. It wasn’t that I disliked the lacing system due to it not working – it works great – but they were so damn hard to lace tightly that I’d hurt my fingers trying to yank the laces through the Mega Fuse eyelets. I wanted to swap the laces out to something a little thinner to relieve some of the stress, but those same Mega Fuse eyelets stopped me from trying as I didn’t want to unlace the shoe and then not be able to get the laces back through.

Ventilation – There is mesh, but a lot of it is blocked by something. Whether it be Mega Fuse or layers of nylon along the interior… air flow was a bit restricted. Again, the shoes themselves felt cozy once on so this wasn’t a huge problem for me… but it is technically a problem – albeit small.

Support – For a mesh shoe, the support is pretty substantial. As it should… we don’t want a reenactment of what happen to Ginobili here. Despite all of the support features, you never felt restricted… and this is coming from a small guy. We have Mega Fuse, Dynamic Flywire, Posite, a TPU Shank and 3 giant lateral outriggers… hot damn, these things are loaded. Now that I think about it… these have nearly everything the KD 7 has… almost.

Overall – I guess if we were to compare the two (KD7 & LBJ12)… you’re extra $50 dollars will get you more coverage with cushion and a much more durable upper. Other than that, they’re pretty similar. Now I wonder if the Kobe 10 will be similar in any way… I guess we have something to look forward to… other than an official release date for the LeBron 12. Overall, I really like the 12, I’d have continued to play in them if I didn’t have more shoes to test and review. But I can’t be mad… I’ve been enjoying them off-court as well.

Update: This review was written and recorded prior to the LeBron 12 getting an official release date (again). They will be available starting Oct. 30th for $200 at Finish Line. You can click HERE to head straight to their landing page.

The annual Nike LeBron Soldier model is here with its 12th iteration. Yes, 12 years of Nike Soldier models…and I’ve been playing in them since the Soldier 2 (bricks). Crazy!

Again with the straps. Laceless basketball sneakers aren’t really a thing, thank goodness, but the Nike LeBron Soldier 12 does prove that you can have a laceless basketball sneaker that still locks you in. This latest version of the shoe feels more refined than the last two models; it’s built on a better, closer fitting, last and adds materials that really wrap around and hug your foot make a big difference in how the shoe feels on-foot.

Heel and forefoot Zoom Air are back, just the way we like it, and they feel good so far. At $140 the Soldier 12 isn’t the most affordable Soldier model to date, and there are definitely other shoes priced well under the $140 mark that perform beautifully. Thus, the Soldier has serious competition this year.

Enjoy our detailed look at the Nike LeBron Soldier 12 and let us know if this is a shoe you’re looking forward to this year.

Is LeBron Soldier 12 good?

Performance of the Nike Lebron Soldier 12:The traction is absolutely amazing and works well even on dusty courts. Materials are very comfortable and getting into this shoe is a breeze. The only downside are the annoying straps that come undone easily - you will have to restrap a lot!

Is LeBron Soldier good?

Overall, the Nike LeBron Soldier 13 is a great shoe. They perform well in every category. Traction is great. Cushion is well balanced.

Do LeBron 12 run big?

FIT. They fit true to size. Another thing I loved about this shoe was the fit because it just kept my foot contained and locked in. Nike uses new Megafuse material which is a mix of mesh with a layer of fuse on top which looks like body armor.

Is LeBron Soldier 13 good for outdoor?

Performance of the Nike Lebron Soldier 13: The simple solid-rubber herringbone traction pattern is deep, attracts very little dust and works well - even outdoors. The cushioning is a little bit divisive, some like the forefoot and heel Zoom units, others would have preferred a more comfortable setup.
