The Nike LeBron 2011 Holiday Footwear designs are not the usual decor expected from the famous NBA star. Nevertheless, they make quite the kick for cool shoes.
Interestingly, the two models from the Nike LeBron 2011 Holiday Footwear look nothing like basketball sneakers. The low-top Air Force 1 Premium Low QS has a very rugged look with a traction sole and a perforated swoosh. The second model is the Nike Air Max Conquer QS, which is a high-cut boot with the same rugged traction sole for better grip on the snow. This footwear is definitely a lot more subtle compared to some of the special edition kicks that James has released lately. Both feature a monochromatic look with highlights of red on the tongue for accents; the only difference here other than the style, is that the boot features the new NSW LeBron logo.
