Nike still hasn't said anything out LeBron James' upcoming shoe, the LeBron Soldier 11, but there are more and more clues pointing to a summer release. This week, James was spotted at Cavs practice wearing the sneaker in a blacked-out colorway.

Nike athletes will often wear these sort of lowkey looks to keep them under wraps ahead of their proper media unveil.

Early sneaker release date info suggests that the Nike LeBron Soldier 11 will be in stores on June 5. Note that the model is not a full-on signature entry from James, but resides in a lower tier with his takedown shoes.

The LeBron Soldier 11 is similar to the LeBron Soldier 10, both shoes using straps on the upper instead of laces.
