Don’t look now, but All-Star Weekend is right around the corner. In preparation, Nike Basketball has officially unveiled its All-Star colorways, this year dubbed the Nike Basketball Royalty Collection.
Available starting February 11 at Nike.com and select retailers, the Royalty Collection includes signature looks for Kobe Bryant, Anthony Davis, Kevin Durant, Paul George and LeBron James, all of whom will represent in the All-Star Game. Inspited by Toronto’s royal origins, each sneaker has a decorative badge to commemorate the individual star player, plus thematic metal, leather and embroidery throughout the collection—which also includes abackpack, hat, t-shirt, Hyperelite Crew sock and Hypermesh jacket. And yes, it’s hitting NIKEiD, too. Scroll through the pics above to get a closer look.
Here are more details on each individual sneaker, straight from Nike:
KOBE 11 ELITE
A sleek black upper with a glowing green pop is a nod to the luminescence of the Northern Lights. Unique molded leather detailing on the heel and tongue gives the KOBE 11 new dimensionality.
NIKE AIR AUDACITY
The Air Audacity brings the power of “The Brow” to the court, complete with a heathered textile upper and an embroidered crest detail on the tongue.
KD8
Modern blocking, inspired by the classic look of flags spotted throughout Toronto that represent the city’s internationalism, brings a fresh graphic twist to the KD8’s Flyweave upper. Removable patches adorn the heel and tongue, and a white and light blue marble graphic, which references Toronto’s icy winter weather, decorates the outsole.
NIKE HYPERLIVE
Paul George will make his fourth All-Star appearance in this special Hyperlive player-edition shoe, with a bold Canadian-red upper, maple-inspired gum outsole and leaf basketball logo. The shoe is recognized for its low-profile silhouette and lockdown support.
LEBRON 13
The LEBRON 13 features a grey-green upper — reminiscent of the neutral tones of Toronto’s winter — with graphic blocking similar to the KD8. An icy, marbled effect covers the outsole heels of James’s game shoe while pins honor the player’s on-court triumphs.
