For all of you that ball outdoors and need an outsole that will last, Nike has you covered. If leaked images are to be believed, there is a LeBron Soldier X XDR out there.
This XDR colorway is a bit plain, but that isn’t always a bad thing. The rather simple black on black colorway highlights the gum-like XDR outsole. For some reason, this colorway highlights just how tall the Soldier X is — for some reason, the shoe didn’t appear this tall until now (maybe I’m slow).
Fans of XDR know that the Venomenon, KD Trey 5, and NikeiD are the best ways to get that tough outsole. So far, we don’t know if the LeBron Soldier X XDR will release only in the Asia markets or if it’ll land Stateside. There isn’t even a release date on the Soldier X yet.
Are you hoping for a LeBron Soldier X XDR? Let us know in the comments below.
(I wish there were better pictures of these out there, my apologies.)

I can’t wait for the release, I wish they release in july, any news for venomenon 6?
This shoe makes me appreciate the Adidas Drop Top even more. Who knew that Nike was paying such close attention?
Yes please – my boys go through shoes as if they were wearing socks outside! I’d like to have a pair last longer than a few weeks 🙂
did they really not put laces on these Soldiers anymore? makes sense, they don’t need to put out a FLYEASE version anymore.
Depends on the tongue setup. IX’s are kinda annoying to put on.
I would buy a pair of these asap. And I actually like this colorway.
In general, does a pair need to have that XDR tag so we can tell it’s XDR?
KB Mentality has outdoor-durable traction so I always thought it’s already XDR even without the tag. I bought mine without but have seen pics of pairs being sold in other (asian) countries selling them with the XDR tag…so I dunno anymore.
it just seems kinda ludicrous that the same silhouette would vary in this aspect (unless XDR editions are higher priced?)
I speak from living in asia, sometimes the ones with xdr are fakes, some are legit you just have to know which is which
