Nike Unveils Elite Series 2.0 Including LEBRON X PS ELITE Superhero

Nike is very good at keeping things under wraps. Although we did a couple of looks at the LeBron X P.S. Elite, it’s now time for the Swoosh to officially announce the new Elite series. Modern-day athletic superheroes LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant showcase an uncanny skill-set, which is now complemented by footwear boasting Kevlar aramid, Carbon Fiber and articulated foam. King James’ elite version drafts off the rare Carbonado diamond, a virtually indestructible stone said to derive from an ancient supernova, the most explosive force in the universe. The LEBRON X PS ELITE is designed to be stronger, offering the highest level of performance for James in the post season. The shoe builds on the innovative advances of the LEBRON X and takes it to a new level with:

  • Carbon fiber-reinforced mid-foot wings for excellent lateral stability
  • Kevlar aramid-reinforced Nike Flywire technology for consistent lock-down through the midfoot
  • Kevlar aramid laces resist stretching for a more consistent fit
  • Articulated foam tongue provides impact protection and minimizes lace pressure

All three Nike ELITE Series 2.0 basketball shoes – the LEBRON X PS ELITE, KOBE 8 SYSTEM ELITE, KD V ELITE – are available at select retail locations and online at Nike.com beginning April 27th, 2013.

      • I love this CW but then again, I'm a Gator fan. I hope there aren't too many nice CWs though, I don't think I can afford to keep up, lol.

        • I know Im gettin real sick of the prices. As far as I know there is another white/black/gold. I think I read somewhere that there is a turqoise/volt color too

          • I'll definitely be getting the white/black/gold pair along with the ones above. I don't know about a turquoise pair though. I'd have to see it. I know the prices this year have been a bit much.

  • Lebron's looks more like a real superhero type shoe. Far better then the other two.

    • These and the story of superhero are a perfect setup for next seasons Lebron XI with the armorposite and Iron Man theme

  • the price tag is the only problem which means i will hold out on until i see more CW's but love the theme they are using this yr especially since lebron is having this amazing season so far

  • I think the kd's and kobe's look better, not as impressive as last years, but hopefully prices for the regular X will drop now

    • Insane. Kobe's and KD's don't even look like basketball shoes. They look like cross training shoes.
