Nike LeBron 11 Low ‘China’
Sep 22nd
The Nike LeBron 11 “China” is an evolution of James’ signature shoe: low-cut with a full-length Max Air bag for cushioning and flexibility. The print on the sneaker is reminiscent of a porcelain vase, while the juxtaposition of Hyper Cobalt graphics, Metallic Gold accents, an icy outsole and blue speckles on the heel provide for an interesting combination. This unique release is only here for a short window, so make sure to grab a pair while you can.
Available online only Thursday.
Nike KD Trey 5 II “China”
Sep 15th
The Nike KD Trey 5 II is the second edition of Kevin Durant’s parallel signature line and perhaps the first shoe named after a twitter handle (Durant’s twitter handle is @KDTrey5). The shoe is also the first KD model to be released since the renewal of his endorsement contract with Nike and it’s certainly a bold release. The “China” release is officially a Cool Grey/Metallic Gold-Diffused Jade colorway but that hardly does justice to the scheme. Cloaked in an engineered mesh blue camo-ish upper, this KD Trey 5 II is set off by a unmissable gold Nike Swoosh design. The shoe’s most definable feature is the blue translucent heel piece that extends up from the outsole. The KD Trey 5 II includes both Nike Flywire and Nike Hyperfuse technologies, as well as the same Zoom midsole/outsole design as the KD VII.
The Nike KD Trey 5 II “China” releases at House of Hoops by Foot Locker and Footlocker.com (starting at 8:00 a.m. EDT) on Thursday, September 18th for $ 110. Check the Launch Locator to see what stores will have this release.
Nike Kobe 9 “China”
Aug 25th
It’s commonplace nowadays that signature athletes spend their summers traveling abroad promoting their shoe lines and the game of basketball in general and every year, China is a mandatory stop on the international tour. Being one of the veterans of the sneaker business and one of the most recognizable names and faces in world sports, Kobe Bryant makes an annual visit to the world’s most populous country. Nike always puts on a spectacle when Kobe is in town due to his large fanbase there, and this year even went so far as to build him a complete LED lit basketball court. To commemorate the relationship between Kobe and China, the Kobe 9 will drop this weekend in a special “China” University Red/Metallic Gold-Black colorway. The release has a red upper with gold accents on the Nike Swoosh, speckles on the midsole, and heel design. The shoe also features a Chinese art pattern on the entirety of the tongue. The shoe is finished by a clean white outsole.
The Nike Kobe 9 “China” drops this Saturday, August 30th at House of Hoops by Foot Locker and Footlocker.com (starting at 8:00 a.m. EDT) for $ 180. Check the Launch Locator to see which stores will have this release.
