The playoffs are coming, which means its time for Nike Basketball’s top notch athletes to switch over to their elite models. Rather than any of the gaudier colorways we’ve seen, it appears that the Nike KD V Elite and the Nike LeBron X Elite will be hitting the hardwood in some simpler white and and gold makeups. Said gold sections reflect the yearning for a championship season, one that’s very much a possibility for both Kevin Durant and LeBron James. Whether or not Kobe will get there is a different story, and it seems like his Nike Kobe 8 Elite has been set apart as a result (Sporting a black/gold colorway and not releasing until June 1st). See all of these Nike Elite basketball models after the jump and tell us which you’re looking forward
