If you’ve had your fill of Kobe VI colorways and are ready for a look at what’s next, here we present the first look at a sample version of the Nike Zoom Kobe VII. Kobe’s seventh signature Nike shoe appears to predictably stick to the low ankle cut, however the ankle collar does appear to reach higher than the previous two Kobe sigs around the heel area. The upper features a composite one piece shell that ditches the reptile scales of the Kobe VI in favor of raised grooves creating something of a microstripe pattern. The outsole and heel cap also keep in line with other recent Kobe shoes with an exaggerated outrigger and a hard plastic shell in back to ensure heel lockdown on such a low cut basketball model. Keep reading to see some more pics for yourself, but keep in mind that these are only a sample and we’re likely to see some changes between here and the final product. The Zoom Kobe VII will most likely start to hit retail at the end of 2011, but if you want to get your hands on this sample version way ahead of time, you can find this pair up for auction now from spcakitty24 on eBay.

LMFAO. You can clearly tell Nike is trying to abandon the spoiled and overrated sidekick. Poor Phil Jackson should've dumped Kobe for Jason Kidd and the Matrix.

HMMMMM, looks interesting.
The Lakers looks like their finished. But its not over yet. One game left.
May 8th, 2011 at 7:21 pm
sketchy.need more colourways to judge.
Sad day for Lakers fans though.
May 8th, 2011 at 7:22 pm
Interesting, I can't wait to see different colors on this to get a better picture of the design.
May 8th, 2011 at 7:23 pm
eh..these look like they r a step down from previous models but i need more pics
May 8th, 2011 at 7:31 pm
No thanks.
May 8th, 2011 at 7:33 pm
These joints are horrible!
May 8th, 2011 at 7:34 pm
Don't particularly care for these. Hopefully some color changes my mind.
May 8th, 2011 at 7:37 pm
lol yeah rite
May 8th, 2011 at 7:43 pm
ewww…
May 8th, 2011 at 7:47 pm
i wasnt really feelin the kobe vi and not sure how i feel about these yet
May 8th, 2011 at 7:51 pm
this is kinda comes up after kobe and his team got man-handled by the mavs
May 8th, 2011 at 7:51 pm
The midsole kinda reminds me of the Jordan VII. Ya know? With the mountains?
May 8th, 2011 at 8:00 pm
like the form of the shoe just aint feeling the pinstripes…
May 8th, 2011 at 8:01 pm
Kobe's the Bess……
May 8th, 2011 at 8:05 pm
Modern Notoriety said it was supposed to have a strap. Looks like they were wrong.
May 8th, 2011 at 8:09 pm
nah, its over.
May 8th, 2011 at 8:18 pm
Same crap as before. Alteast Kobe will have extra time to test his new Nikes. Maybe they should put a broom logo on the tongue and call them the Post Seasons. HAHAHAHA. You got broomed bitch!
May 8th, 2011 at 8:18 pm
the upper is similar to the 6's but the tongue and lining is crazy. Need clearer pictures.
May 8th, 2011 at 8:22 pm
huh?they just got SWEPT kid. They're finished!
May 8th, 2011 at 8:24 pm
i think i like it.
will need to see some colorways first
May 8th, 2011 at 8:24 pm
looks like some flywire is under there just like the 6's
May 8th, 2011 at 8:26 pm
already?
May 8th, 2011 at 9:05 pm
lol
May 8th, 2011 at 9:05 pm
Same shoe 3 yrs in a row…. they just change 1 or 2 things every year!
May 8th, 2011 at 9:11 pm
im not sure about these wana check them out in person before i make any decision
May 8th, 2011 at 9:23 pm
OBVIOUSLY YOU DIDNT WATCH THE GAME
May 8th, 2011 at 9:24 pm
Moutains?? i think thats carbon fiber bud
May 8th, 2011 at 9:28 pm
i'd laugh my ass off if someone wear any of the kobe's LOL. such a trash
May 8th, 2011 at 9:29 pm
FUCK YOU
May 8th, 2011 at 9:29 pm
interested to see how these compare weight wise to the crazy lights though
May 8th, 2011 at 9:31 pm
This shoe is just a shitty mix of all the previous Kobe models
3 sole
6 upper
4 lowcut
just plain shit (and I heard Kobe wasnt doing the lowcut anymore….)
May 8th, 2011 at 9:39 pm
His signatures are all awful. They are always an on court shoe only, I don't see how people can wear these or any other Kobe with jeans or anything like that
May 8th, 2011 at 9:53 pm
Kobe is done! Overrated, overrated,overrated…. Can't close a door.
May 8th, 2011 at 10:13 pm
Before Nike is done with Kobe VI colourways, they should release a special 'Sweep' colourway, with some straw n sh*t coming out the back to represent the Broom that swept his ass.
May 8th, 2011 at 10:16 pm
No, they said it has an ankle support, and there's clearly a little sleeve there.
May 8th, 2011 at 10:38 pm
too soon to jude but so far these r lookin like shitt
May 8th, 2011 at 10:47 pm
what the hell is this? some shit from a dickrider? it looks like shit it's not even funny.
May 8th, 2011 at 10:55 pm
every year they release pictures of the new kobe models like 6 months earlier then when they actually come out everybody is all of the sudden on love with em lol
May 8th, 2011 at 10:57 pm
these better not be what it looks like
May 8th, 2011 at 11:17 pm
Wear these on the court and jack up shots with 0 assist. Blame the coach and teammates when you lose and be like you did nothing wrong. Everybody on your team would eventually dislike you and talk behind your back like Smush Parker, Shaq and many more did/will do. Then wear these on the street with jeans and everybody will sneer at you with wtf face. Since you're not welcomed of society, you decide to be some kind of "kobrick dickriding for life" type of a loser and hate on the players better than your idol. Furthermore you decide to hate on the goat and basically detest everybody but Kobe. To all the pitful dickriders, suck the dick till you die and show us you can be an ignorant loser forever!
May 8th, 2011 at 11:24 pm
Looks like a good playing shoe, not sure about casual.
May 8th, 2011 at 11:29 pm
quit the hate.. Lakers had their run.. they just couldnt handle it.. Time for some new champs to be crowned.. Be nice to see Boston get some revenge for last year, but they still gotta get through Miami..
May 8th, 2011 at 11:47 pm
nice catch. seems nike put zero effort on these garbage haha. not surprising though
May 8th, 2011 at 11:53 pm
JASON TERRY FTW!!!
May 9th, 2011 at 12:06 am
i think i'm gonna hold out for the jason terry's.
May 9th, 2011 at 12:11 am
This means that VI's will be cheaper soon.
May 9th, 2011 at 12:26 am
Kobe asking more superstars LOL. What an overrated garbage LMAO
May 9th, 2011 at 1:12 am
GOT DAMMMNNNN!!! Yeah, I missed the game, damn. They got murdered. Dallas 122, LA 86, GOT DAMMMMNNNNN!!!!
SORRY TO ALL THE LAKER FANS. BAD TEAM WORK.
May 9th, 2011 at 1:39 am
i remember seeing the vi's this early and they ended up looking completely different so will these
May 9th, 2011 at 1:40 am
People just come out the woodwork. Its sad to see people with such passionate hate for a man that doesn't even know they exist. Pathetic really..
May 9th, 2011 at 2:10 am
imma lakers fan but as much as i wanna see the lakers win every year,the truth is it cant be done…so all laker haters u better kick them while they're down cuz we will be back on top soon…i see dwight howard in our future lmao
May 9th, 2011 at 3:08 am
You see Bynum's Flagrant on Barea?I completely lost all respect for that bum. What a crybaby panzie. I'd like to see him try that on Dwight Howard.
May 9th, 2011 at 3:17 am
Where is the sheath?
May 9th, 2011 at 3:20 am
It's sad people with ignorant mind suck the dick hard like this guy. Simply pathetic really..
May 9th, 2011 at 7:37 am
bulls, end of story
May 9th, 2011 at 9:30 am
You're the ignorant child here. Why do you consider a fan of a player or someone who simply enjoys the game of basketball be considered a dickrider, etc.? It's sad to know this world is falling into the hands of a generation with sh!t like you in it. That's what is pathetic.
May 9th, 2011 at 11:11 am
Yeah right! I will kick the lakers when they are up or down! Dwight is going to join the real talent in the windy city and rack up some rings. Put a fork in em, lakers are done for a while!!!
May 9th, 2011 at 1:50 pm
Look at you dickriding like a motha fucka LOL. They are the worst fanbase in the history. They are bunch of bugs. Need to explain? Go to any bball forum and see how these bugs suck Kobrick's dick and think other players as trash. Oh wait, you are one of em LMAO.
May 9th, 2011 at 5:21 pm
Those look kinda like the pippens that had the heel max unit forget which number pippens they were. I guess once the final version is done we can all make our own decisions then.
May 9th, 2011 at 8:32 pm
You fuck!ng vermin of the Earth…I'm a basketball fan in general. I watch to be entertained. I don't waste my time like you bottom feeders, talking sh!t and hating someone I don't know or want to be, you jealous motherfucker. Since you know how an "A" basketball game should be played get your ass on the basketball court and lets see what your monkey ass can do!!! You little bitches ain't sh!t…Just internet terrorists with no basis.
May 9th, 2011 at 10:08 pm
let me talk to u after fucking ur mom bro give me a minute homer AHHHHHHHHH
May 10th, 2011 at 1:10 am
same shoe because nike did sucha good job to the previous, no need to change them. don't fix it if it's not broke. and besides, they do it to kobe's preference, not yours or anybody else's
May 10th, 2011 at 8:04 am
Haha, IMO, the silhouette of the shoe is great. I bet these are gonna look pretty sharp once Nike's done with the finishing touches. Of course the ones shown here still aren't the final product, that's why they still look ugly, duh.
These also remind me of how the Vs first looked like, where most were hatin'. Then they turned out to be dope. haha http://www.kixandthecity.com/nike-zoom-kobe-v-sam…

September 24th, 2011 at 3:38 am
I actually found this more etnteraniing than James Joyce.
September 26th, 2011 at 10:19 am
the skin of the shoe is copied from the sharkskin effect, out soles are combination of kobe uptempo and kb 3 from past years…. nearest thing i could muster that this shoe looks like is a combination of the old air pippen 4 (the body of the shoe) and pippen 3 (the phylon at the back of the shoe) must be a design collaborated with erik avar
December 27th, 2011 at 1:40 am
fuckers you bastards Kobe is the bomb but Kobe V all the way you bitches just hate kobe because he can whup ur ass and suck on you mom's hairy cock.
