Nike Release Dates 2013: Kobe Prelude IV, LeBron XI “Dunkman”, KD VI “Energy” Coming Out
As expected, Nike will end the year on a high note as they are set to release impressive-looking sneakers in the final days of 2013, including the newest editions of the signature shoes of NBA superstars Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Kevin Durant.
Bryant's signature shoe is set to make waves again in the sneaker market. Before the highly-anticipated Kobe Elite 9 arrives at retailers, one of the shoes included in the "Prelude Pack" will be available starting December 28th, according to solecollector.
The "Prelude Pack" features that first eight signature shoe of Bryant, which will serve as curtain-raiser for the official release of the Kobe Elite 9, which will come out on February 8 next year at $225 per pair.
The Kobe Prelude IV will be released on Saturday and will retail at $200 per pair. It is basically the fourth signature shoe of Bryant, which is regarded as the best among his signature kicks.
This edition features a purple and gold motif and was made to commemorate Bryant's first title in 2009, which was his first without former teammate Shaquille O'Neal.
Meanwhile, Nike will also release the last colorway of the LeBron XI for this year -- the "Dunkman" edition of James' latest signature shoe. This edition is expected to duplicate the success of the "Christmas" edition of this sneaker that hit the market on Thursday.
Officially listed as the Mica Green/Sea Spray-Dark Mica Green-Volt, this shoe sports a green and grey-based upper part accented with volt hints and the "Dunkman" logo on the insoles. This impressive-looking edition of the LeBron 11 will be available at select Nike retailers worldwide on Dec. 31 for $220 per pair.
Aside from the latest edition of Bron's signature kick, the KD VI, the latest signature sneaker of Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant on New Year's Eve.
The KD VI will arrive at retailers in the eye-catching "Energy" edition, which is officially listed as the Cool Grey/Electric Green-Bright Crimson colorway of this model, which sports a bold print upper part along with speckled midsole and green branding.
This latest Durant sneaker will retail at $130 per pair and will be available on a limited a basis in selected Nike accounts worldwide.
