If you’ve been following our Zoom Kobe V odyssey today, you’ve likely already caught some glimpses of the shoe, but now we finally bring you some detailed images of the officially unveiled final product. Following up on the wild popularity of the Zoom Kobe IV, the next installment is finally here for your viewing pleasure. Obviously, some sample pics have already leaked, but here’s your first chance to see the bonafide end product, straight from Kobe’s hands to your eyes. As you can see, the combination of form and function has come together beautifully, with the end result being an incredibly lightweight and responsive shoe that also happens to sport a undeniably sleek look. Enjoy these pics for now and stay tuned for more images and info on one of the most cutting edge designs to ever come from the minds at Nike Basketball.

I already said it but these are just like Kobe 4.5s or something.
And the shape is so off and ugly to me.
Also not feeling the heat bonded overlays…That may be why the shape looks so ugly to me.
