Nike Zoom Kobe V (5) [Black] | Sample

Images of the upcoming Nike Zoom Kobe 5 (V) recently surfaced online, presenting us with these black on black samples.

The next installment to Zoom Kobe series will continue to have a low-cut silhouette just like the Kobe 4, as well as a seamless base and very little detail. It’s rumored that the shoe will not use Lunar Foam and will actually be lighter than the Kobe IV, making it the lightest Kobe signature sneaker so far.

Since Nike is still in the designing phase and these are just samples, there’s a good chance that the structure of the shoe will change. So, stay tuned for more updates, the final design of the Kobe 5, and of course the official release date.

Nike Zoom Kobe IV (4)| Charlotte Hornets Edition

Kobe Bryant was originally drafted as the 13th overall pick for the Charlotte Hornets in the 1996 draft, coming straight out of highschool. However, his draft rights were then traded to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for their starting center at the time, Vlade Divac. In honor of Kobe’s short time with the Hornets, Nike came up with these white, teal, and blue Zoom Kobe IV (4) basketball sneakers.

The “Charlotte Hornets” Nike Zoom Kobe IV (4) clearly has a Hornets inspired colorway with a white base, purple flywire along the sides, and plenty of teal accents. The day Kobe was drafted, “6-11-96″, appears on the back heel and the inside on the insoles. These shoes are almost like a gift (Lakers) or a curse (Hornet) depending how you look at it.

No release date information is available for this shoe but you can get a pair early over at Marquee Sole. Size 9.5 & 10 US.
