Nike Zoom Kobe V – Blackout

Even if it was not Kobe who grabbed the crown of this year’s Most Valuable Player recognition, he still receives a huge treat from his sneaker brand Nike. With his amazing line of signature shoes, Nike has already asses some new colors but appearing more vibrant this time around. Most of the Kobe Zoom models sport the colors of the LA Lakers team but instead of ending up in this same pattern, the next release will totally turn things dark and shut the lights out.

Nike eradicated all the present and the usual Zoom Kobe colors and they replaced it with an all black uppers this time around out of patent leather for its uppers. This was also combined with other materials like rubber and mesh nylon. Its side panels have a flywire design with an outline for the white swoosh and its specific tonal threading. Its overlays can be seen on the lace panel and toe box too.
