Targeted at uber-quick guards who prefer a light, stable shoe, the Nike Zoom MVP X Supreme is the latest shoe to release from the Nike Basketball camp. The brand is crafting special versions for specific players and teams, and this neutral grey/ orange blaze pair will be sported by Phoenix’s perennial All-Star Steve Nash. The MVP X is augmented by Zoom Air cushioning and a rubberized translucent outsole that’s accented by an awesome “flame” pattern. The model’s sockliner features the phrase “I’ve Got Monstrous Game” in playful, big-block letters. Up top, the shoe is comprised of premium leather, multilayered ballistic mesh, and 3M. Oh, and what are your thoughts regarding the “mouth” on the heel collar–too sweet or too over the top? The Nike Zoom MVP x Supreme – Phoenix Suns is available worlldwide at most Nike Hoops retailers.

Steve Nash is a rarity in the NBA; he’s one of the few players employed that strictly balls in lowtop sneakers. The Phoenix Suns frontman and Nike Basketball cornerstone will spend the 2009 seasons abusing opponents in the Nike Zoom MVP, a sleek shoe that places emphasis on smooth transition, wicked traction, and heel fit sturdier than Riker’s. The MVP has already hit Asia in a white/orange/team grey color scheme and a black/grey/royal blue/volt colorway. Both versions should hit the U.S.  in the coming weeks. Images via Kenlu.

A little while ago, we gave you a preview of the Nike Zoom MVP and now we have detailed pictures of another colorway that is currently available. At first glance, it may seem as though this pair is a running shoe due to its low cut and lightweight design, but you will be surprised to know that this is a pair of basketball shoes that provides enough ankle support for some of the best guards in the world such as Steve Nash. This lowcut design is becoming prevalent in some of Nike Basketball’s recent releases such as the new Nike Zoom Kobe IV. Though the design is great for guards, there is a bit of uncertainty in regards to providing enough ankle support for the big men in the post. This colorway of the Nike Zoom MVP features a white base with purple and orange accents reminiscent of the colors of the Phoenix Suns. Sporting a purple outsole, a speckled midsole, and Steve Nash’s logo, this pair definitely stands out as one of Nike’s brightest releases in a while. The sneakers are a house of Shady hoops release which means that eventually you can buy them here Via: Unlocked

The Nike Zoom MVP X will serve as 2 Time NBA MVP Steve Nash’s game shoes during the 2^nd half of the 2008-2009 season. Featuring a black upper with a white toe box, this colorway has a classic look remixed with red accents and a unique Nash logo. This shoe combines the lightness and comfort from Nike’s “Free” series with the great designs of its highly successful Basketball line; consequently, many guards sponsored by Nike Basketball have taken a liking to this shoe and will most likely be donning it later this season. Expect to see these at your local Nike retailers sometime in Spring 2009. Via Kidulty.
