For 140 bucks, it is a really good shoe. It's a fun shoe to play in and it definitely is eye-catching especially in this colorway. If you guys don't like laces, these straps are the way to go cause these straps don't come undone like it did in the Soldier 12.

I think the Sldier 13s are woth it for the price. I just wish that the lateral support of the Soldier 13 were a little bit better. That's the only gripe or downside that I have for the Soldier 13s. But, overall, this sneaker is an awesome performer and I would highly recommend it for you guys, especially for big men, those who love playing on outdoor courts, cement courts.

Definitely for the price, I don't think it's worth it. Comparing it to like the other shoes like the PG3, or the Sonics, KT 4s you know, and stuff like that. But yeah, they're definitely a good performer though. I enjoyed playing in them. Uh, I wish the cushion was a lot better.

I, again, am very excited to try these things out. I just think that they're gonna play really well. It looks and feels like a no-nonsense type of shoe, despite the loud colorway, which actually I've warmed up to.

The Nike LeBron Soldier 13 is inspired by LeBron James’s commitment and dedication to fine-tune his craft. Made for battle, these Nike basketball shoes boast a LeBron-tested cushioning setup that offers optimal responsiveness. A laceless closure with dynamic straps provides unparalleled containment and support.
Cushion. The Nike LeBron Soldier 13 is equipped with a foam midsole with bottom-loaded heel and forefoot Zoom Air units. This cushioning setup is designed to provide dynamic responsiveness as you force your way down the court. The Air units compress and spring back quickly as you run and jump to the hoop.
Traction. These LeBron James basketball shoes feature a rubber outsole with a herringbone traction pattern. The intricate tread pattern is designed to provide exceptional multi-surface traction.
Length and Width. The Nike LeBron Soldier 13 reportedly runs true to size but fits a little snug. Wide-footers are advised to go up half a size for a better fit.
Lockdown. These LeBron James basketball sneakers boast a laceless closure with dual dynamic straps that criss-cross around the ankle and midfoot. Each strap also features an adjustable slip lock that provides a fine-tuned fit.
These Nike basketball shoes feature a strong and flexible ripstop upper that stretches in specific areas and locks you in where you need it.
The LeBron Soldier 13 also comes with a flexible inner sleeve that allows the collar to expand for easy entry.
The Nike LeBron Soldier 13 features a high-top cut with velcro cross-straps—design elements that have persisted throughout the Soldier line.
‘LS13’ is printed on the insole while ‘LJ23’ is found on the outsole.
LeBron James’s 13th Soldier model debuts in Thunder Grey/Bright Crimson/Electric Green. The follow-up colorway arrives in Black/White/University Red. Expect to see more colorways throughout the year.
