Nike Basketball 2015 Christmas Collection Release Date, Pics and Retail Price

Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, Kyrie Irving and LeBron James will all be in action Friday, and in honor of the occasion, Nike has produced holiday-themed kicks for the quartet.

All four shoes will hit the market on Dec. 26, which is the perfect time for those who will have some Christmas money to burn. Nike Basketball provided a look at the full collection:

You can view the prices for the sneakers and when they'll be featured during the NBA's Christmas slate of games below:

Shoe	Price	Player	Matchup	Time (ET)
Kobe X Elite Low Xmas	$220	Kobe Bryant	Los Angeles Clippers vs. Los Angeles Lakers	10:30 p.m.
KD 8 Xmas	$200	Kevin Durant	Chicago Bulls vs. Oklahoma City Thunder	2:30 p.m.
Kyrie 2 Xmas	$120	Kyrie Irving	Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Golden State Warriors	5 p.m.
LeBron XIII Xmas	$220	LeBron James	Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Golden State Warriors	5 p.m.

Each shoe comes with at least one cool feature that separates it from the rest of the collection.

The Kobe X Elite Low Xmas arguably has the best visual trademark, five rings on the heel to celebrate Bryant's five NBA championships, per KicksUSA:

A close runner-up is the lace lock on the LeBron XIII Xmas, which almost single-handedly makes the shoe look awesome, per Hibbett Sports:

The Kyrie 2 Xmas is the shoe that most closely follows a typical Christmas motif, drawing inspiration from the abominable snowman. The design is also a nice change of pace from the first release in the Kyrie 2 line, especially for fans who prefer a more solid, consistent pattern for their shoes.

On its face, the KD 8 Xmas doesn't have the look of a Christmas-styled shoe, but it definitely works when you consider the "mix of naughty and nice" theme, per Nike. The pattern on the hole and outsole is also a good look, resembling coal.

Not all the shoes will appeal to all possible buyers, but that's not really the point. Each entry should have its own distinct feel and unique offerings.

While you can't stuff the Christmas collection in your stocking before Friday morning, any one of the shoes would make a nice gift to yourself, making the holiday last a little bit longer.
