Nike Basketball Unveils Elite Series Gold Collection

Nike continues to drop exclusive colorways that beg to take our money. 

Little do they know, not much begging is necessary.

Here you have the official unveiling of the Elite Series Gold Collection.


The LeBron 11 Elite has metallic gold accents that highlight the silhouette. It looks like candy paint! They have kept the same lower cut and articulated external cage seen on the “Team” and “Hero” editions,  Hyperposite, Dynamic Flywire fiber in the upper, Lunarlon cushioning and a Nike Zoom unit in the midsole all come together to maximize performance. 

KD 6 Elite This Elite boasts a full-length, visible Nike Zoom unit that runs through the entire midsole. Some new design elements such as a ’35’ gold logo on the shoe’s tongue. This primarily white shoe features Flywire technology, reinforced with Kevlar aramid fibers. 

Kobe 9 Elite This is the brand’s first basketball shoe featuring Flyknit, which is something that goes against all conventional shoe manufacturing processes. They created a one-piece engineered upper made from single strands of yarn. Sporting a white upper with gray, black and gold details throughout. The pinnacle of innovation with Lunarlon, dynamic Flywire and carbon fiber throughout.

The 'Gold' Nike Basketball Elite Series will be available Friday, June 6 at nike.com and select global retailers.
