Four Games, Four Wins, Four Player Exclusive colorways of the Nike LeBron X Elite. Yesterday, LeBron James sported a fourth PE colorway of the Elite, taking on a red/black outfit to match the “Alternate” uniforms that the Heat have been wearing throughout the season.

Nike Basketball’s “Elite” concept was thoroughly detailed by Nike designer Leo Chang during our interview two weeks ago. It truly must be a designer’s dream to go all out on a sneaker, so designer Brett Golliff created some “Elite”-style renderings of some of the most memorable Nike Basketball silhouettes in history that have had their share of Playoff battles. If you ever wondered what the Air Jordan XI, Nike Shox Stunner, or Nike Air Max Penny 1 looked like with a completely beefed up “Elite” exterior, Brett’s got ten models for you to ponder at below.

For the 2013 NBA Playoffs, Dwyane Wade debuted the Li-Ning Way of Wade Encore – something of a postseason/point-five model to succeed the buzzing Way of Wade flagship model. It appears to utilize the same midsole as the Way of Wade, but the upper has a few more distinctive design cues like the lower cut silhouette, the mesh-like vents, stylized perforations, a camouflage-print lining, and an Air Jordan IV-like shoelace harness to lock down Wade’s explosive feet. We’ve got a gallery of the shoes as well as Wade playing in them for Game 2, so take a look and let us know what you think about this revised design and stay tuned for more Li-Ning updates.
