With big names like Kobe Bryant, even though he is injured and won’t be playing, Kevin Durant, LeBron James and Kyrie Irving part of the Nike brand, their shoes will be on display for shoe lovers to fawn over and hand out wads of cash to buy up.

The shoes are part of each players’ signature series with the Nike brand, and the shoes look sharp too.

Each of the shoes has a dark overtone, but has flashy colors on the soles to supersede the black and grays and provide a nice contrast in colors.

Some shoes are so vibrant with color that they’re ugly, but these shoes have the right blend of colors. While you won’t be seeing the Kobe X’s on the court, you will still get to see the other shoes in action.

The shoes fit the theme of New York City, the site of the 2015 NBA All-Star game, and will surely be a hit amongst shoe collectors.
