Anthony Davis has been associated with Nike since 2012 but has yet to release his signature shoe for unknown reasons. As a result, he is often seen wearing Kobe Bryant’s shoes during games. However, in a recent game against the Milwaukee Bucks, Davis surprised fans by sporting a pair of Nike LeBron Zoom Soldiers, which is a throwback to one of LeBron James’ earlier shoe models. The LeBron Zoom Soldiers were initially released in 2007, and seeing Davis wear the original colorway in 2024 brings a nostalgic feeling for LeBron James fans.

It’s worth noting that the Nike LeBron Zoom Soldier 1s, being considered a classic now, are no longer available in Nike stores. However, they can still be found in the sneaker market through resellers. In 2018, Nike re-launched the original colorway as the LeBron Zoom Soldier 1 Retro ’25 Straight,’ paying homage to LeBron James’ remarkable performance in the 2007 Eastern Conference Finals when he scored 25 straight points against the Detroit Pistons. The retail price for the retro version was $150 upon release, but it currently ranges from $240 to $280 when purchased from resellers.

For those interested in the original production of the LeBron Zoom Soldier 1s, various reselling shops offer them at different prices based on the colorway. The midnight blue OG colorway is currently priced at $300, while the ‘USA Olympic’ colorway is the cheapest option at $90.

However, there are still some colorways of the LeBron Zoom Soldier 1s available for their original retail price of $150. These include the ‘Dunkman’ colorway. Other colorways that can be found for under a thоusand dollars are the ‘Fairfax’ ($350), ‘Christ the King’ ($425), and ‘SVSM’ ($750).

The re-launched version of the Nike LeBron Zoom Soldier 1s worn by Anthony Davis likely features some technological upgrades compared to the original pair, considering the 11-year gap between their releases. These upgrades should enhance the shoes’ performance and make them more suitable for basketball players on the court.
