Nike LeBron Kyrie Game 5 Championship Pack

Nike Basketball has officially released the “Four Wins” Game 5 Pack as a nod to when Cleveland was facing elimination on the road down 3-1.

The pack includes the Nike LeBron Soldier 10 in a Black and Gold color scheme with the “Unlimited” Nike Kyrie 2.

Cleveland needed someone—anyone—to step up with storybook heroics. It turned out the city had more than one hero: LeBron James and Kyrie Irving made it clear that elimination simply wasn’t an option. LeBron brought the thunder and the lightning scoring from inside and out while Kyrie slashed through the defense at will. The city’s dream of redemption was still alive—but the task at hand was far from finished.

Check out the store list below, as well as the additional images of the “Game 5” Champ Pack. You can also find them via eBay.

The Air Jordan 16 Bred was originally released on February 17th, 2001 and was later part of the Air Jordan 7 / Air Jordan 16 Countdown Package in 2008.

Something that a lot of people may not know or remember is the fact that the Air Jordan 16 was’t designed by Tinker Hatfield. Instead, Tinker passed the project over to Nike’s Senior Footwear Designer Wilson Smith. This was the first time since the Air Jordan 3 that Tinker wasn’t behind the design.

Smith decided to use different elements and fabrics from past Air Jordan releases for the Air Jordan 16. He brought back the clear soles and also used patent leather that became famous from the Air Jordan 11.

This release features an all-Black leather upper with a patent leather toe, as well as Varsity Red contrasting accents and a clear outsole. One of the key features to the silhouette is the its unique gaiter that covers the shoe giving it a new look. It would later be used for stylish purposes.

Take a closer look at the Air Jordan 16 Bred below and let us know what you guys think of this release in the comments section.

As a reminder, the Air Jordan 16 “Midnight Navy” is making a comeback on December 22nd, 2016. Could the “Bred” colorway be coming soon too?

Today, adidas has unveiled James Harden’s first signature shoe, the adidas James Harden Vol 1 that will be debuting in December.

Driven by Harden’s performance needs and embracing his distinctive design insights, Harden Vol. 1 embodies James’ creativity and expressive style on and off the court. adidas continues to reinvent collaboration and Harden Vol. 1 is a bold challenge to the traditional creative process.

“This was my first time creating a shoe from the ground up. With adidas, we wanted to stand for something different, be true to who we are and that’s how we separate ourselves,” Harden said. “This was a once in a lifetime opportunity and all the work we put in together is what makes this genuine. We’re open to each other’s opinions and we weren’t going to just put shoes on the shelves and say ‘This is James Harden.’ It’s built for how I play and you’ll see my style, different moods, the little details and stories that represent who I am.”
