Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, and LeBron James, three of NBA's biggest superstars come out with three signature sneakers from Nike, a sportswear giant, just in time before the NBA playoffs.

Nike and NBA basketball fans rejoice because the global sports brand will be coming out with a new sportswear collection by the end of the week! The three sneakers feature functional designs with colorways that match each star's team.

This exclusive basketball series shoe collection is made from the direct involvement of the three big basketball superstars, Bryant, Durant, and James.

The Nike design team together with the NBA stars spent countless hours trying to perfect each shoe design according to their own brand of standard and signature, making sure every design and functionality is up to par.
