Nike Release Dates 2015, Price & Where To Buy: KD 7 ‘Electric Eel’, Kobe 10 ‘Silk’, Kyrie 1 ‘Brotherhood’ [Photos]
Nike will release new colorways of their popular signature models -- the KD 7, Kobe 10, Kyrie 1 -- this week, and all three are expected to get a lot of attention on the sneaker market.
The KD 7, the seventh signature shoe of Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Kevin Durant, will come out in Metallic Pewter/Anthracite/Lyon Blue/Flash Lime colorway, which is officially listed as the "Electric Eel" edition.
The KD 7 "Electric Eel" features a pewter-based upper part with unique graphic design combined with blue lining and insole along with flash lime foot strap, Nike Swoosh and lace lining. It is finished off a Nike Air unit on the heel and a blue-based outsole.
Like previous editions of the KD 7, this was also inspired by a certain story in Durant's life. According to Nike, the design of this shoe was based on Durant's love of animal print like the eel-inspired graphic design.
The KD 7 "Electric Eel" will be released on Thursday at 10 a.m. ET on Nike.com with retail price set at $150 per pair. Official photos and more details are available on this link.
Meanwhile, Nike will release the Kobe 10 on Saturday in Merlot/Villain Red/Total Orange/Metallic Gold colorway, which is officially named as the "Silk" edition.
The Kobe 10 "Silk" features a merlot-based upper part combined with gold, red and orange hints throughout the shoe, finished off with a translucent orange outsole.
According to Nike, this shoe was inspired by the "Silk Road" because of the Los Angeles Lakers superstar's connection to Europe and Asia, having spent his childhood in Italy and visited China frequently earlier in his career.
"His connections to both the European and Asian continents led Nike designers to think about the legendary Silk Road, the inspiration for the new Kobe X Silk shoe," Nike wrote. "From as early as 210 B.C. to 1453 A.D., the 4,000-mile Silk Road operated as a trade route between Europe and Asia."
The Kobe 10 "Silk" will be available for $180 in men's sizes and will also arrive at retailers in GS sizes for $135. More photos of this signature shoe are available here.
Aside from the new KD 7 and Kobe 10, Nike will also make the new colorway of the Kyrie 1 available this weekend.
The Kyrie 1, which is the first signature shoe of Cleveland Cavaliers superstar Kyrie Irving, will hit shelves on Saturday in Lyon Blue/Black/Anthracite/Metallic Silver, named "Brotherhood" edition.
The Kyrie 1 "Brotherhood" features a black-based upper part combined with blue and metallic silver hints. It is also finished off with white outsole with Lyon blue portion. According to Nike, the edition was inspired by the valuable lessons about team camaraderie Irving learned during his college days at Duke University.
The Kyrie 1 "Brotherhood" will be available for $110 on Nike.com and select retailers worldwide. More information and photos are available on the official product page from Nike.
