Nike Release Dates 2014: KD 7, Kobe 9 Elite, LeBron 12 ‘Christmas’ – Price, Where to Buy, Photos
Nike is set to give their loyal followers a treat with the release of three excellent signature shoes this weekend - the new colorways of KD 7, Kobe 9 Elite and LeBron 12 sneakers that will hit the market on Friday as part of the company's Christmas 2014 Collection.
The KD 7, Kevin Durant's latest signature shoe, will come out Bright Crimson/Emerald Green/Ivory colorway. This new KD 7 features an ivory and bright crimson-based upper part finished off with a translucent outsole.
According to Nike, this colorway is also known as the "Egg Nog" edition as it was made to pay tribute to Durant's favorite holiday season beverage. This shoe also bears a "Fresh Since '88" print, referring to Durant's birth year.
"The shoe continues to bring Durant's personal stories to life - this time paying tribute to his favorite holiday beverage, egg nog," Nike noted. "A red Hyperposite heel integrates glossy flecks emulating the condensation on a glass of egg nog."
The new KD 7 "Christmas" will be available for $170 per pair for men's sizes and $115 per pair for kids sizes.
On the other hand, the Kobe 9 Elite, Kobe Bryant's latest Nike signature shoe, will be released Bright Crimson/White/Black colorway, which will be available for $225 per pair.
This new Kobe 9 Elite, the first signature sneaker to feature Nike's Flyknit technology, features a Christmas-themed design inspired by a knit stocking.
The Kobe 9 Elite "Christmas" features a crimson-based upper part with black Nike Swoosh and Kobe Bryant logo. It is finished off with a marbled outsole that resembles candy canes, according to Nike. A "Mamba's Greetings" print can be seen on the inner tongue of the sneaker.
Aside from the KD 7 and Kobe 9 Elite, Nike will also release the Christmas edition of the LeBron 12, LeBron James latest Nike signature shoe, which has been getting a lot of attention on the sneaker market over the past several weeks.
The LeBron 12 will be released in Emerald Green/Dark Emerald/Hyper Punch colorway, which is also dubbed as the "Akron Birch" edition of the shoe. According to Nike, this shoe was inspired by the winter season in Akron, Ohio - James' hometown.
"The camo pattern is inspired by Akron, Ohio's winter weather and includes a birch tree pattern," Nike noted. "Black and Hyperpunch micro dots integrate into the camo pattern for a seasonal touch. A notable subtlety of this shoe is the snowflake formed by small hexagons on the tongue loop."
The LeBron 12 "Christmas" will be available for $220 per pair. It will also be available in kids sizing for $160 each.
