What better way to start Nike Air 180 a title defense than to be draped in gold? Nike s Battle Grey Pack was the precursor for the season ahead and Kyrie and LeBron s Soldier 10 got the championship treatment with gold accents. I can t be the only one who sees how well certain shades of grey go so well with gold and think it has something to do with how dope the Nike Kobe Prelude Pack  in particular the Zoom Kobe 2  turned out, right?

I can appreciate that on an intellectual level and judging by how fast it sold out online, it looks the people took it the Nike Air Max 180 same way too.We didn t get to see the gradient midsole a whole hell of a lot on the retail Kyrie 2s, so it was a nice surprise to find out that this PE that Kyrie wore Nike Air High Tops during Game 5 of the NBA Finals would be releasing alongside LeBron s Soldier 10s as part of Nike Championship Pack& On a side note, props to Nike for releasing not one.

It makes the Effect colorway stand out even more from the pack, but we kind of wanted to see what else Nike could have done given that level of freedom.And yes, I will be forever bitter that I don t own a Nike Outlet Jordans pair that comes with the sweet, sweet box. Size 11.5, Nike (or somebody that s willing to trade down the line).As April 13, aka #MambaDay, approaches, Kobe Bryant fans and sneakerheads across the world are paying their respects to one of the greatest of all-time by rocking his kicks.

It s a little jarring and with the Lakers getting knocked out of the Playoffs earlier than expected, it dampened the impact of this release. Some pairs even made it outlet stores at nearly half off. If you were lucky enough to cop, congrats.You can technically make this pair right now on NIKEiD, but there s something satisfying about being able to cop without having to go through the design process and Nike Free 3.0 higher price point. It fits the criteria perfectly with the black and metallic gold and makes it shine.

In the 20 years since Mamba has been in our lives, some people have finished school, gotten married, made families, screwed that all up and got back on the horse to sell ankle insurance to do it all over again. There is an entire generation of fans who grew up knowing Kobe was their GOAT and that s awesome. This was their golden era, much like how the generation before had MJ as their idol and the generation before that had Dr. J.
