The Nike Basketball “Opening Night” Pack is a tribute to their athletes Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, Kyrie Irving and LeBron James as they are set to tip-off the 2015-16 season.
All four superstars will be bringing in the season in special editions of their respective signature shoe, the Nike KD 8, Nike Kobe 10, Nike Kyrie 1, and the Nike LeBron 13, each featuring modern expressions of the players’ team colors.
Nike KD 8 Opening Night
Durant’s Nike KD 8 “Opening Night” dubbed, “Home Grown” shoe pays tribute to his team and hometown via an intermixed skyline and city map graphic depicting Oklahoma City with DMV (Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia). The black-and-white design showcases the versatility of the KD8 Flyweave upper, which can be sublimated with graphics. Durant will lace up the shoe on Wednesday versus San Antonio.
Nike Kobe 10 Opening Night
A saturated yellow Flyknit upper distinguishes the Nike Kobe 10 “Opening Night” known as the “Opening Act” that Bryant will wear when Los Angeles begins its season at home, on Wednesday. Groundbreaking innovation and vibrant color have been the Kobe 10 trademark since its unveiling and this shoe, which debuts against Minnesota, is no different.
Nike LeBron 13 Opening Night
James’s thirteenth shoe blends top performance benefits with creative narratives. The Nike LeBron 13 “Opening Night” known as the “Fine Wine” worn by James on opening night features Cleveland’s official team color, wine, and is accented with subtle cork details on the tongue and heel. The inspiration is expanded with a wine label-inspired graphic on the sockliner and wax detailing on the pull tab to finish off the shoe, which James debuts in Chicago on Tuesday evening.
Nike Kyrie 1 Opening Night
This Nike Kyrie 1 “Opening Night” is also reference as “Double Nickel” referring back to when Kyrie dropped 55 points on the Portland Trailblazers back in January.
