Apr 10th
While the playoffs near and the regular season winds down, the real stakes arrive in efforts to crown the next champion of the NBA. The Nike Elite Team Collection consists of footwear designed to the exact specifications of LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant. Using premium materials, advanced construction and athlete insights, Nike Basketball’s design team proudly unveils its most technically advanced trio of signature shoes in one collection.
The LeBron 11 Elite Team edition is lightweight, sleek and strong. It represents an evolution of the LeBron 11 that launched in October, now with a lower cut and new articulated external cage to keep him contained. The performance standard of the KOBE 9 Elite Team is second to none, as it’s the first Nike Basketball shoe featuring Flyknit. Definitely a provocative and high-profile sneaker since its announcement at MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) back in December. The KD VI Elite Team moves precisely and naturally with the foot using Flywire technology, reinforced with Kevlar fibers. For the first time in a KD signature shoe, this new version boasts a full-length, visible Nike Zoom unit that runs through the entire midsole.
Available in stores and online Saturday. Check out Release Locator for stores.
Nike Kobe 9 Elite “Detail”
Mar 22nd
The Nike Kobe 9 Elite “Detail” receives inspiration from the Italian Renaissance in the 1500′s. With similar roots, for Kobe Bryant, detail is everything. This specific shoe features grey and black colorway mixed in with details of marble on the upper – inspired by Michelangelo, his Italian roots and his perspective of his art derivative from the country. The “Detail” nickname is given by the attention paid to the marbleized aesthetic on the upper and midsole. To cap it all off is a touch of red on the heel.
Available online only this Saturday.

Nike Kobe 9 Elite “Perspective”
Mar 4th
The Kobe 9 Elite has certainly made a splash since it’s debut last month, with the release of the “Masterpiece” and “Inspiration” colorways. Next up, dropping this weekend, is the Neon Turquoise/Volt colorway dubbed “Perspective.” The Kobe 9 Elite “Perspective” is inspired by the blue period, a three year-stretch (1901-1904) of artistic brilliance by the Spanish cubist painter, whose artwork during this time featured shades of blue and blue-green. Just like the Spanish master, Bryant brings a similar beauty to his game. This Spaniard showed versatility beyond painting with his sculpting, ceramics and printmaking and he serves as the guiding inspiration to this Kobe 9 Elite ‘Perspective’ colorway. Turquoise upper is infused with Volt pops and a graphic on the side of the shoe, accentuating the Flyknit and Carbon Fiber.
The Nike Kobe 9 Elite “Perspective” will be available at Foot Locker, House of Hoops by Foot Locker and Footlocker.com (starting at 8:00 a.m. EST) on Saturday, March 8th for $ 225. Grade school kids sizes will also be available. Check the Launch Locator to see which stores will have this release.
