In the eyes of Nike Basketball could the NBA stars be modern day superheroes? Heat forward, LeBron James, Thunder forward, Kevin Durant and Lakers guard, Kobe Bryant, all get “Hero Collection” colorways that aim to “represent the superhuman skills each brings to the court,” according to the apparel manufacturer. Their new collection includes footwear designed to the “superhuman specifications” of basketball greats Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Kevin Durant. The vibrant colors on the Nike LEBRON 11 Elite, KOBE 9 Elite and KD VI Elite are accented with several details on each shoe: James will wear this red, black, green and yellow version of his “LeBron 11″ signature sneakers. Durant, the NBA’s leading scorer by a wide margin, will pursue the first title of his career in this blue, green and pink version of his “KD VI” signature sneakers as Nike will still release this grey, green and yellow version of his “Kobe 9″ signature sneakers.
