Ross Dwyer With some of their best and brightest stars taking part in the 2019 NBA All-Star Game, Nike is pulling out all the stops when it comes to their slate of special releases. They’ve got an even ten shoes coming to market, and it’s safe to say that there’s something for everyone here. The men’s releases serve up everything from unique takes on Paul George‘s Nike PG 3 and Kyrie Irving‘s Kyrie 5 to new fusion silhouettes like the Air More Uptempo 720 and the Air Max 720 Saturn, both of which call upon a futuristic Air Max cushioning unit. The ladies are getting some love too, with a quartet of floral-adorned silhouettes that boast deep roots in hoops like the Air Force 1 and Foamposite.
