Rocking all black, with gold detailing, the LeBron 11 Elite “Gold” maximizes itself for the playoffs with a lower cut and a new articulated external cage, as well as an upper designed with Hyperposite and dynamic Flywire fiber and Lunarlon cushioning and a Nike Zoom unit in the midsole.
Featuring advanced Flyknit tech, the Kobe 9 Elite “Gold” has a one-piece white upper with gray, black and gold details throughout. Lunarlon, dynamic Flywire and carbon fiber help complete this performance-driven shoe.
Finally, the KD VI Elite “Gold” includes a midsole with a full-length, visible Nike Zoom unit, the first time that’s ever happened in a Durant signature model. Flywire technology, reinforced by Kevlar aramid fibers, helps provide the lockdown feel that KD needs to dominate.
