"Expect the unexpected as 2013 will welcome additional basketball footwear surprises. Nike Sportswear will create distinctive versions of Nike signature basketball shoes, all remixed with premium materials for non-performance use."
I know it was hinted at before, but hopefully all 3 sigs receive this treatment.

Considering samples already came out of the Kobe 8 lifestyle in a red/blue Barcelona like CW, you're probably right.

No on has had to camp put for these hype shoes since the galaxy foams though.

 

[you big dummy]

I wouldn't get my hopes up just yet..


Does anyone remember the press release for the MVP 9 package?

QUICK! Pay some money to look into your family tree and find a nike sponsored athlete that's related to you!

 

[picasso swerve]

Dude if he's going to wear them with girl jeans tongue popped out and all just wear shorts!

Girl jeans? Those just looked like tapered jeans.

You gonna wear some southpole joints and have half the shoe covered under that baggy mess?

Difference between the two is on the Lebron sports pack,the words limited are uttered..

It isn't uttered anywhere on the corks press release.

Could mean nothing... but there are differences between the two

 

[tyonenine]

About a week after the galaxy pack too. Even though I don't like the galaxies this year.

Translation: We are going to releasing versions with actual leather

I'm pretty sure all the NSW releases are non performance driven so they won't include the Nike+ pack. I'm curious about how they are to wear too. These guys that got em off nike elite this weekend can hopefully let us know. I've seen pics on feet of a few hypebeast "celebrities" (Stalley) and he was outside at least lol.

What a surprise - right at tax time

 

[lilpennymagicfan]

for everybody that is getting hype for these shoes, you either have intention to resell or just collect them.

I have a pair that I would not even dare to wear. The insole is thin leather, the sides have no cushioning and is as hard as a rock, the tongue is leather. Even with Nike Elite socks these will not be comfy to wear for longer than 5 minutes..

I will keep my pair for the meaning behind the shoe but I don't see how to wear these for a whole day at all. Here is a pic I took of the inside..

$305 sounds.....ok i guess. I just don't know if I would wear them a whole lot honestly. I'll just see whats releasing all-star weekend instead.

 

[tyonenine]

Thanks for the info. I knew it would be thin. Looked like it from the beginning.

 

[irishbaz]

$305.... more like $3005 with the numbers being suggested...

Is that same date set for Europe cus I heard different?

damn, that sucks- was hoping to get them and rock them- still be a great shoe to add to the collection 

nice pics by the way

 

[jordan23dotcom]

I still can't believe that leather is now the premium material that jumps prices through the roof and will be limited

 

[swish]

I hope everyone gets a fair shot on these.

"The tongue is leather"

Not sure how that makes these uncomfortable.
