Basketball sneaker fans will have an exciting weekend as three new signature shoes hit the market - three of the most popular signature sneakers from Nike.
Coming out this weekend are the new colorways of the KD VI Elite, Kobe 9 Elite, and LeBron 11 Elite as part of Nike's Basketball Elite Series Gold Collection 2014 that will arrive at retailers on June 6 worldwide.
The KD VI Elite, the sixth signature shoe of Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Kevin Durant, will come out in White/Metallic Gold-Pure Platinum-Black colorway, which is arguably one of the most interesting colorways of this sneaker.
The KD VI Elite "Gold" features a white-based upper part with mango touches in several portions along with gold Swoosh and KD logos, finished off with a full translucent outsole.
This edition, which also has Kevlar aramid fibers to provide lockdown support, is the first KD signature sneaker to feature a full-length, visible Nike Zoom unit.
"For the first time in a KD signature shoe, this new Elite version boasts a full-length, visible Nike Zoom unit that runs through the entire midsole. Maximizing breathability and strength, the KD VI Elite Gold moves precisely and naturally with the foot while featuring new design details such as a '35-6' logo on the shoe's tongue," Nike noted.
This new KD signature shoe will be available for $200 per pair.
On the other hand, the Kobe 9 Elite, the latest signature sneaker of Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant, will come out in White/Metallic Gold-Black colorway.
The Kobe 9 Elite "Gold" sports a white-based upper part accented with black, gray, and mango hints along with a metallic gold Nike Swoosh logo.
This signature sneaker, which is the first basketball shoe to feature the Flyknit technology, will retail at $225 per pair.
Aside from the KD VI Elite and the Kobe 9 Elite, Nike will also release the new colorway of LeBron James' latest signature shoe, the LeBron 11 Elite.
The LeBron 11 Elite "Gold", which is officially listed as the Black/White-Metallic Gold-Bright Mango colorway of the shoe, features a black-based upper part with white Swoosh and icy blue translucent outsole.
"Designed to fit the reigning MVP and world champ's game, the LEBRON 11 Elite Gold edition is strong and sleek, all in black and set off by gold-colored detailing. The shoe represents an evolution of the LEBRON 11, now with a lower cut and new articulated external cage to keep him contained for the playoffs," Nike noted.
