I think all of us basketball fans have been more nice than naughty the entire year; because aside from the return of the NBA on the 25th (26th Manila time), Nike Basketball will also shower us with crazy yuletide inspired kicks!
I'm sure all y'all sneaker crazy folks already know it, but let's introduce each shoe, from left to right:
NIKE ZOOM KD IV "CHRISTMAS"
Kevin Durant will wear a metalized-effect version of the Nike Zoom KD IV inspired by copper cookie cutters.
Nike Zoom KD IV incorporates the new Adaptive
Fit system that provides a superior lock-down fit and lateral support. The
combination of Hyperfuse on the upper, Nike Zoom unit in the forefoot and low
collar design offers lightweight, low-profile responsive cushioning and optimal
support and flexibility which makes this a versatile shoe for multiple
positions on the court. Created with direct insights from Kevin Durant and his
lineage, the Nike Zoom KD IV pays tribute to his team and family with design
details.
NIKE AIR MAX LEBRON 9 "CHRISTMAS"
LeBron James goes a bit
more traditional and familiar with a red upper, white midsole and green lace version of the
LEBRON 9.
LeBron 9 is the first Nike shoe to combine
Flywire technology and Hyperfuse construction in the upper. A midfoot harness
that wraps around the foot incorporates Flywire 3.0 technology that adds
strength and lock down support to breathability and durability. This
lightweight upper mimics the speed and strength symbolic of LeBron’s game.
The finely-tuned midsole provides a unique hybrid cushioning system by
combining Max Air 180 in the heel for absorption on impact with a Nike Zoom
unit in the forefoot for a springy response.
NIKE ZOOM KOBE VII "LEOPARD"
When everybody zigs, the Mamba zags!
As always, Kobe Bryant pushes the
boundaries by wearing a purple and lime green version of the Nike Zoom Kobe VII
System (Attack Fast) with special graphics representing the speed of the leopard with red laces.
Nike Kobe VII System Supreme edition features
a performance system that allows players to customize the shoe, switching ankle
support and midfoot cushioning. Two interchangeable insert options are
offered to match their style of play. If a player’s game is based on speed,
there is the Attack Fast insert that features a Phylon midsole with Nike Zoom
units that combined with low-cut, power-stretch cuff offers the ultimate in
lightweight responsiveness and support. For games that get intense and physical
in the paint, there is the Attack Strong insert. It offers a full-length
Cushlon midsole and an ankle cuff for a plush, comfortable ride with great
support. The Nike Kobe VII design also tells a predator story that’s
inspired by Kobe’s
predator-like instinct on the court.
NIKE AIR MAX SWEEP THRU "CHRISTMAS"
The new member of the team (remember the stoplight pack last year?), Amar'e will sport a
predominantly green version of the Nike Air Max Sweep Thru paying heritage to New York's Christmas Day uniforms.
Nike Air
Max Sweep Thru has a lock-down fit made to support and cushion for explosive
play with a blend of stability and comfort. An adjustable strap at the midfoot
provides a snug, secure fit while the Max Air unit in the heel offers
incredible cushioning and impact protection.
Additional features include a leather upper for a supportive and
comfortable fit, a herringbone pattern and pivot circle on the outsole for
traction during multidirectional movement, and perforations at upper for
enhanced breathability.
Having a hard time which ones to get huh? My picks, though would be:
The Cookie Cutter KDIVs. And of course...
The Leopards!
But hey, if you got enough Christmas money, why not cop 'em all! I just might!
Available on boxing day, December 26 at your favorite Nike Retailers and at Titan!
On a more personal note:
From all of us here at Locker Room Legends, we would like to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a legendary 2012!
