Nike Basketball's first pack of themed signature sneakers for 2018 will be its Black History Month collection for Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and LeBron James. While the shoes have not been officially unveiled by Nike, these leaked images give a detailed look at each.
The 2018 "BHM" Nikes pictured are currently scheduled to release on Jan. 15 for Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
The shoes vary in how explicit they are in theme, with Irving's Nike Kyrie 4 being the boldest in that regard with its all-over "Equality" treatment. That being said, each shoe features some degree of red, black, and green. These colors, borrowed from the Pan-African flag, have appeared on Nike BHM sneakers for years.
