With the launch of the Nike Basketball Elite Series, footwear designers and consumers had to re-think the conventions of a ‘basketball shoe’. In what was already was the pre-eminent line of performance footwear for the sport, the nike air jordan raptor 7 release schedule, using materials such as Kevlar and Pro Combat padding to an already high-tech package of Flywire, Hyperfuse, and other mega-lightweight shell constructions. One of the eyebrow-raising elements of the Elite Series was the retail price, which ranged from $200 (Kobe VII and Hyperdunk) to $250 (LeBron 9), but authentic air jordan 2010 proved that consumers were ready and willing to shell out the money for the next level of Nike Basketball sneakers. A special edition tri-tiered box set was handed out to where media and released in very limited quantity at where Nike Basketball retailers like Nike Vault as well as the House of Hoops; the box itself is a harmonius binding of carbon fiber and a shimmering metallic gold, with the Elite Series slogan reading ‘Light Like Air. Stronger Than Steel.’ on the outer face. We’ve got a detailed look at the Nike Basketball Elite Series Box Set below, so take a good look and if you’re desperate to add these to your Elite collection, see what’s available now on eBay.
