In time for the festive holidays, the Nike Christmas collection features a delightful array of seasonal colors. Each of the four soon-to-launch basketball shoes contains a colorful aspect of winter and holiday vibes.
The collection was inspired by the fire and ice, which makes sense since these elements are front and center during the winter holidays. The shoes are a subtle "nod to the cold weather and heated competition between all teams in the league." This theme is present within all of the styles, which uses the colors of black and red or white and blue. Each shoe uses different details and beautiful logo placement to represent the Nike brand.
All of the shoes in the Nike Christmas collection will be released on December 26th. Consumers can purchase one of the four styles via Nike’s website or at select Nike retailers.
