Ho, Ho, Ho: Nike Unveils Their 2014 Basketball Christmas Collection

On Wednesday, the good folks over at Nike did what they always do around this time of year. They casually notify the public that they'll be releasing a limited-edition of signature shoes worn by the three-pronged superstar grouping of Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant and LeBron James. As a result, Nike Basketball will unveil its 2014 Christmas Collection, featuring the Kobe 9, KD 7 and LeBron 12. Per usual, each player will display their signature sneaker with various holiday themes that will release on December 26 at Nike.com and select retail locations.

Enough with the words, check out the each of the shoes with the detailed photos below. If you're feeling gratuitous, feel free to cop me a pair of the KD 7 Egg Nogs because I've most definitely been a good boy. Size 13, please.
