Nike Playoff Pack: Now Available

Nike Basketball has been pretty solid all season long. From the Six to the IVs, Nike hasn’t let up in terms of bringing quality kicks to the court. They released a special pack for All-Star Weekend and they’ve now released the Playoff Pack. Originally 6 pairs, the Playoff Pack is now available at all Nike stores nationwide. I wasn’t able to take a shot of the MVP up close (it’s not because Nash and the Suns didn’t make it, but I just forgot), but took shots of the other four- the Zoom Soldier 3, Kobe IV, Max Spot Up, and the Zoom Flight Club.

Zoom LeBron Soldier III

The Zoom Soldiers of course are LeBron’s sleds during the Playoffs and hopes to make some memories with this year’s edition. Not too hot on these, but LBJ fans wouldn’t mind. They’re pretty sturdy, strong and built like a beast, just like LeBron. I’m currently watching them pummel the Pistons to the ground. Looks like the broom’ll be out early for Detroit.

Zoom Kobe IV

The Zoom Kobe IVs are a beaut. I personally like the laces. What’s not seen here are the icons on the other side of all the sneakers. I’m sure these are gonna run out at the stores pretty fast. Flywire’s been a god send for 2009 and I’m expecting a lot more from the technology in the coming months.

Air Max Spot Up- Dirk Nowitzki PE

I’ve always been a low-top kinda guy. These mids are just a monstrosity. Well, it kinda fits Dirk. So I guess it’s ok. I must admit that Dirk’s been showing up lately. Well, except for the 14-point performance yesterday, he’s been pretty good. I guess the weight of the Mavs is just too much for the man form Wurzburg. Well, not Barea’s.

Zoom Flight Club- Tony Parker PE

Don’t they look like Kidd’s and GP’s ride a few years back? Regardless of how they look, this sneaker’s been on the baller’s radar for a while. What can I say, they look pretty cool. And with TP9′s 38 special yesterday, they must feel real good. Tony Parker’s been unstoppable as of late.
So if you believe it’s the shoes, head to Nike now.
