The NBA season is officially underway and many of the top players are already looking as if they’re playing for the title. Some of the Nike signature athletes (KD, Kyrie, and LeBron to be specific) have special ‘Battle Grey’ colorways that could have been seen on their feet on opening night.
Nike didn’t forget about some of their most noteable players with PEs though; Draymond Green, Boogie (Demarcus Cousins), Anthony Davis, and Karl Anthony-Towns all have PE versions of Nike Basketball shoes releasing this weekend.
Draymond and Boogie get their PEs done on the model that they have been seen wearing a lot lately: The Nike Zoom Clear Out. Draymond’s PE receives an upper treated in ‘Battle Grey’ and is accented with hits of vibrant yellow at the outsole, lateral Swoosh, and tongue. The tongue boasts the DG23 logo in this vibrant yellow. Boogie’s PE features the same ‘Battle Grey’ upper, but instead of vibrant yellow, purple accents the shoe in a much more subtle form. A new “DMC” logo can be seen on this upcoming PE of the Nike Zoom Clear Out. Black is also speckled throughout the midsoles of both PEs.
Anthony Davis’ PE is on the Nike Air Max Audacity 2016. As the theme of these PEs stays consistent, the Nike Air Max Audacity 2016 sports the Battle Grey upper and a maroon outsole. The maroon can be seen on the tongue, hidden within the PE patch located there. Black also hits the Swoosh on the toe of the shoe and is speckled throughout the midsole for additional design.
Finally, Karl Anthony-Towns, the newest of the Nike group listed today, gets his PE done on the Nike Hyperdunk 2016. The KAT PE features Battle Grey throughout the upper of the Nike Hyperdunk 2016. Hits of blue are seen on the outsole, lateral Swoosh, Flywire, and on the tongue. Black lines the midsole in a speckled pattern. “KAT 32” can be seen on the tongue, finishing the details on this PE.
All four of these Nike Basketball PEs will release Saturday, October 29, at select Foot Locker stores and online. These are also expected to release internationally at retailers such as Titan Friday, October 28, in store and online.

Karl Anthony Towns needs a new logo ASAP
Man those hyperdunks are fresh
Outside of LeBron and Kyrie, Nike’s lineup of athletes aren’t going to make anyone run out and buy any of these. Nike blew taking advantage of the player edition craze by making shabby product, then slapping the names of players that really have no draw on them. The actual shoes suck to play in as well.
the hd 2016 doesn’t suck to play in, i just played in my lows tonight and they’re excellent, can’t speak on the clear out, which is like a b-grade hyperrev 2016
it’s not really nike’s fault that three of the best bigs in the L (draymond, demarcus cousins and KAT, who will be an MVP candidate in two or less years) don’t shift product…nowadays only explosive, off-the-dribble-jumpshot-draining perimeter players move product, that’s a fact, they must be hoping d’angelo russell explodes this year, paul george will be getting his own shoe this year too by the looks of things
