Nike will release new colorways of the Kobe 11 and the Kyrie 2 for this week. Both models are expected to be among the hottest items on the sneaker market.

According to Nike, the Kobe 11, which is the last on-court shoe of Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant, will be released in what is dubbed as the "Last Emperor" edition, which is officially listed as the White/Black-Court Purple colorway of the shoe.

The Kobe 11 "Last Emperor" sports a black and white Flyknit upper part combined with metallic silver Nike Swoosh, which sports snake-skin graphics. It also has a white lining and tongue with black mamba logo on it and unique logo on the heel area. It has a red insole with white mamba logo, and was finished off with black midsole and translucent outsole.

"This monochrome collection is a celebration of Kobe, past and present, and a look at the transition ahead," the shoe as described by Nike. "Meticulous graphics and details honor his legacy: an off-the-charts career of championships, All-Star accolades and MVP honors that will inspire future heroes for generations to come."

The Kobe 11 "Last Emperor" will be released on Thursday with retail price set at $200 per on Nike.com and selected retailers worldwide. More information about this new colorway are available on the official product page.

Meanwhile, the Kyrie 2, the second signature shoe of Cleveland Cavaliers superstar point guard Kyrie Irving, will hit shelves in "Court Deck" edition for kids. It is officially listed as the Black/Poison Green/Summit White/Black colorway of this popular signature model.

The Kyrie 2 "Court deck" for kids features a black-based upper part with poison green lining combined with poison symbol near the heel area. It was finished off with a white midsole with black Nike Swoosh branding and an icy blue translucent outsole.

According to the official product page, this edition has a rounded outsole for smooth cutting and sprinting. This colorway was inspired by Irving's love of skateboarding.

"As a young athlete, Kyrie was already developing his ability to skate past defenders with ridiculous quickness, while off the court he found his speed by skating on four wheels," Nike noted. "With graphics inspired by young Kyrie's love of skateboarding, the Kyrie 2 Court Deck is a bold basketball shoe that helps you stand out on the court."

The Kyrie 2 "Court Deck" for kids will be available on Saturday for $100 per pair. More information and photos are available on Nike.com.
