This is the season to be jolly with the latest Nike basketball shoe releases as the sports apparel juggernaut has unleashed a string of new models for the brand's fans to feast on.
"Jordan Brand has just announced their Christmas Day Collection 2014 with brand new colorways of the Jordan Super.Fly 3, Jordan CP3.VIII, and the freshly introduced Jordan Melo M11," Sneaker News reported. "Each pair features a dazzling array of angular patterns inspired by none other than Michael Jordan's own Air Jordan 7 (a shoe slated to have a rather big 2015 thanks to the Remastering of Retros) while the colorways each feature hints of Cardinal Red to hold over a holiday motif."
"Drawing inspiration with Cardinal colors and the AJ VII print, while commemorating Jordan's history of signature athletes, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, Russell Westbrook, Jimmy Butler, Otto Porter, and Reggie Bullock, will all don the latest AJ Christmas colorways for the three performance kicks on the court this Christmas," Dime added.

The sides of the midsole follows a festive pattern that is in line with the Christmas motif.
