After making noise this weekend with the release of the new colorways of the KD VI and LeBron 11 Low, Nike is set to make headlines again this week as three more excellent sneakers are scheduled to hit the market.

First up is the Kobe 9 EM 'Game Royal' - the newest colorway of the low-top version of Kobe Bryant's ninth signature shoe with Nike - that is set to be released on Thursday, June 19, in select Nike stores worldwide.

This edition, which is officially listed as the Game Royal/White-Venom Green colorway of this signature sneaker, features a multi-colored engineered mesh upper part with white Nike Swoosh and Kobe logo along with venom green outsole and lining.

According to Nike, the design of the shoe was inspired by South American street art's wild cacophony with mixed and matched patterns providing a dynamic look.

The Kobe 9 EM 'Game Royal' will sell at $160 per pair.

Nike will also release the Sport Turquoise/Mid Mint-Black colorway of the LeBron 11, which is listed as the "South Beach" edition of the shoe.

The LeBron 11 "South Beach" sports a turquoise and black-based upper part with mint and pink hints. But aside from the impressive look, this shoe features three of Nike's advanced technology.

"The LeBron 11 features Hyperposite technology for lightweight lock-down, while taking protection, containment and responsiveness to a new level. The upper incorporates Nike Hyperfuse construction and dynamic Nike Flywire technology," Nike noted.

This edition of LeBron James' latest signature shoe will be available in full family sizing and will sell at $200 for men, $140 for gradeschool, $70 for preschool, and $50 for toddler.

To be released alongside this eye-catching LeBron James sig shoe is the newest edition of the Kobe 9 Elite - the high-top version of Bryant's latest signature sneaker that will sell at $225 per pair.

The Kobe 9 Elite "Influence", which is officially listed as the Sport Turquoise/White-Volt-Total Orange colorway of the shoe, features a unique graphic design, which is said to be inspired by the Pop Art movement.

"Inspired by the wild designs of the Pop Art movement, the Kobe 9 Elite 'Influence' features one of the signature shoe's boldest colorways ever. The outside of the upper is a bright Sport Turquoise that contrasts with the Total Orange inside upper and laces. The Volt high-top ankle adds extra an extra burst of color," the shoe as described by Nike.
