Nike Zoom LeBron III 'Houston'
Price: $175
When: Saturday, June 22 at 10 a.m.
Where: Nike SNKRS and other select retailers
What You Need to Know: Nike created a friends and family edition of the Zoom LeBron III to celebrate the NBA All-Star Game taking place in Houston back in 2006. The colorway was inspired by the team colors of the Houston Oilers, the NFL franchise that played in the city from 1960 to 1996. Once a highly-coveted pair for LeBron collectors, the "Houston" LeBron III is finally getting a retail release 13 years later. Despite being created over a decade prior, this pair's baby blue nubuck upper, white patent leather overlays, and red detailing give it a striking resemblance to Travis Scott's popular Air Jordan IV collab, which also took inspiration from the defunct pro football team.
Air Jordan XIV 'Yellow Ferrari'
Price: $200
When: Saturday, June 22 at 10 a.m.
Where: Nike SNKRS and other select retailers

This pair is dressed in yellow leather with red and black detailing, and features a carbon fiber midsole and chrome shank plate. Of course, multiple Ferrari-inspired logos are scattered across the upper as well.
