A Nike model that's been well-loved amongst sneakerheads is the Soldier 10, one of its many LeBron James models.
With a sleek construction, the Solider 10 features an almost seamless upper, ensuring its wearer a comfortable fit that's flexible, supportive and lightweight. With the latest update to the Jordan 10 utilizing a red and black colorway, Nike further differentiates it from past releases by including a suede accent on the toe, which is where its name, 'Suede Toe,' comes from.
Separating this addition is a black strap, which marks the start of the sneaker's change in tone. The flexible material that makes up the majority of the upper is patterned with dots and the Swoosh logo that's iconic to Nike adorns the side. Meanwhile, the sole swaps between red and black, helping the colorway to come together.
