It’s down to 5 models for this year’s Nike All-Star lineup, with Kyrie 2’s All-Star version removed. Honestly speaking, this 2016 lineup pales compared to previous years. The only acceptable sneakers for me here are Paul George’s Hyperlive and Kobe 11.

These will be available on the 11th of February 2016.

Kicking off the Kobe XI line is the ‘Achilles Heel’ colorway, draped in bright crimson, black, red and metallic gold colors. Despite the price tag, Kobe XI has a very good-looking silhouette that will make any colorway look nice. The flyknit material is said to be the strongest version yet so maybe that’s part of the reason for the added price.

The Kobe 11 model will be the last one Kobe plays in so expect this 2016 to be a tremendous year for his signature line.

This is Nike’s take on Kobe X’s ‘What The’ edition. Priced at $260, around 14k at least here in the Philippines, this Elite highs won’t come cheap so be ready to break your piggy banks if you intend to purchase this multicolored pair.

December 26 is just a few days away. Are you going to cop all Xmas editions of Nike Basketball? Or are you just going to go for one or two? Personally, I MIGHT cop the Kobe Xs but the price is holding me back haha. LeBron 13s are nice too and this colorway of KD8 looks finally interesting. Not so much love for the Kyrie 2s.

One of Kobe X’s latest colorways is dubbed “Hero” and unfortunately for us men, this colorway will only be available in GS sizes *sigh*. The Nerf-like approach is a total winner in my book. Then again, the kids (and women) are the only ones who’ll be able to wear this colorful pair. Would’ve been my first ever Kobe X pair if they were available in men’s sizing.

Anyway, a wallpaper of it might be enough of a band-aid solution. Get the latest Kobe X wallpaper now!
