Nike Basketball today introduced its supercharged Elite Series providing new levels of footwear innovation. The Nike Kobe VII, Nike Zoom Hyperdunk and LeBron 9 all feature premium materials and footwear technologies providing players with a performance advantage. Nike designers have obsessed on every detail. Incorporating the most innovative materials and design techniques, the three styles take performance to another level. Lightweight construction, enhanced fit, dynamic protection and distinctive colors are just some of the innovation included in this premium series. “At Nike we have a maniacal focus on product innovation to give athletes a competitive advantage,” said Leo Chang, Nike Basketball Footwear Design Director. “For the Nike Basketball Elite Series, we completely re-engineered each shoe from the inside out using the highest performance materials. We took our top franchise models and made them even better for the moment that matters most to our athletes – the run for the championship trophy.” Home and Away colors are the inspiration for the elegant white and black base of the shoes; as the trophy is the inspiration behind the gold details spread throughout the series. Each style of the Nike Basketball Elite Series worn on court will initially display a special white Swoosh Design. As the playoffs approach, Nike celebrates the player’s achievements by replacing the white Swoosh with a gold one for the final game.

I like them just the way the way they are. Amazing. I can't wait to see how they perform.
un...flucking...believable...for real though. These are some fresh sneakers. One question, nike & lebron...wtf is yall thinking with the 250$ price?! this hopefully comes with that new technology in em...
Check out the materials used. Kevlar has not always been cheap! Even threads made with kevlar cost twice as much. Kevlar + carbon fiber = $
This gonna be the best sneaker summer ever yo...I got so much shit ima break out when it get really nice out
Very ugly
What the hell happened to the low stretch flywire cables that were suppose to be on these? they did a total redesign! Bet those samples will be the Lebron X now. I just can't see the justification of the $250 on these. Even the Kobe Elite are only $60 more than the regular version. These shouldn't be more than $225-230. I'll still scoop a pair. Just not sure which color. Probably these though
The flywire is in the same spots as the regular 9... On that toe area and on the lockdown tabs. You can see it on the toe area in the first pic, it's hinted in gold which is tight.. Kobe's are low tops.. They gonna be cheaper, but it's all the carbon fiber the elites have as
well as the pro combat tongue.. They are gonna be general releases like last years p.s's so get them on Eastbay with a discount code.. If its ineligible for discount when they release, just wait a while... They will eventually include them..
Oh I would bet that those samples are just the 2012 hyperdunks..
I hit the post button too early.. It looks like the exact same pair he's going to wear at the Olympics coming up.. At least that's what he wore for the photoshoot lol.. Of course i could be completely wrong..
Similar but those dont have air max.
tooo cleannn
Great shoe I got them 130 at the Nike store
