Today, Nike has unveiled the Elite Collection for their Big Three; this time excluding Kyrie’s shoes from the sets. There are a total of 9 color ways with 3 shoes in 3 different sets. Each set is scheduled to release in April, May, and June and without a surprise, that’s when the NBA season ends and playoffs begin to intensify. All the shoes get an upgraded look and feature some old and some new technology.
Kobe X
Although the Lakers have had another disastrous season and will finish without their superstar, Nike is still releasing the Kobe Xs for his fans and supporters. The Kobe X Elite brings back the high top design like the Kobe IX Elites and features a Nike Flyknit upper and dynamic Flyknit technology for support. The traction system will feature the same fushion of Lunarlon foam, Nike Zoom Air, and Nike Free-inspired technology. The Kobes are also incredibly eco-friendly and boasts about utalizing recycled polyester yarn. Each pair is equivalent to five recycled bottles.
