With the NBA playoffs just around the corner, Nike is celebrating the achievements of three of the biggest names in basketball, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Kevin Durant, with the Nike Elite Series 2.0+.

Now, if you remember the Superhero-themed Nike Basketball Elite 2.0 Series unveiled last month, you may notice some similarities between the two. In fact, aside from a re-done color scheme, the only difference is that the latest collection includes sneakers that are Nike Plus-enabled to give players an advantage on the court.

The 2.0+ series consists of the LeBron X PS Elite+, the Kobe 8 System Elite+, and the low-top KD V Elite+, each with it’s own take on black, white, and gold detailing. Even performance elements on the shoes, like the Kevlar aramid laces, and Flywire, have been touched up in gold for an elegant look (KD V).

The LeBron X PS Elite+ and the KD V Elite+ will both be available beginning April 20. If you’ve got your eyes set on the Kobe 8 System Elite+, you’ll have to wait until June 1.
