Nike Dropped More Shoes Celebrating Kobe Bryant's Career.



With all the stuff that went down the past weekend, you might have heard of basketball player named Kobe Bryant. You know, the Los Angeles Lakers guard whose career spanned 20 seasons, 5 rings, and 60points in his last NBA game? 

Well, in celebration of Kobe Bryant's visit to Manila this weekend, Nike released a special limited edition Nike Kobe XI Elite Low that commemorates his 20 year career.

Dubbed as the Kobe XI "Great Career Recall," the shoe sports a black dominant upper with gold accents and a gold swoosh. A plain white outsole finishes the shoe on the bottom. 

The Kobe XI Elite Low colorway seen here is exclusive only to the Philippines and China. He debuted it on his first day of the Mamba Mentality Tour today at the Ususan Basketball Court in Taguig City. A limited run is available in Manila, retailing at Php 9895 at Nike Park, BGC.

Now you can cop the shoe King James beat the Warriors in!


He did it. Lebron and the Cavs became the first time to overcome a 3-1 deficit in the NBA finals, erasing both the Warriors' historic season and decades of heartbreak for Cleveland sports fans. And he did most of the work in the Nike Lebron Soldier 10, the latest in the Lebron takedown line.

Sporting a stretch lined upper, responsive Zoom Air cushioning, and three distinct lockdown straps, the Solider 10 is no budget baller model. If King James can go all in and bring a title to Cleveland in them, you'll be able to do some great stuff on the court too.

The Nike Lebron Solider 10 will drop on Nike ID for a limited time only on June 21.

Neymar Jr. x Jordan Collection


In the years that have passed since Michael Jordan's first signature shoe came out, the Jumpman has evolved from a silhouette into a full-brown brand. While basketball will always be the brand's bread & butter, we've seen footwear and apparel for other sports such as baseball, golf, running,  and even athletic training.

If you've been living under a rock for the past few years, Neymar Jr. is a footballing phenom. He plays for FC Barcelona the one of the biggest football clubs in the world, as well as the Brazilian national team. He's also only in his early twenties and it turns out, he loves the Air Jordan 5.

The Air Jordan 5 is 1 of 2 shoes that anchors the Neymar Jr. x Jordan collaboration - the first time a non-Jordan athlete has collaborated with the brand, as well as the first time we'll get to see Jordan gear out on the pitch. Picture above is an Air Jordan 5 low done up in the signature 3M reflective material, while both the number "23" and "10" (a nod to Neymar's number with the Brazilian National team) can be found on the upper as well.

Rounding out the collection is a special colorway of the Hypervenom Phantom II in grass, turf and indoor versions. If you're digging it, a part of the collection will release on June 9 at select retailers such as Titan.
