Kobe Bryant and his LA Lakers were just unceremoniously ousted by the Dallas Mavericks and an industrial grade broom, so while the Black Mamba won’t be tying Michael Jordan with six NBA titles, today’s an occasion to move forward with his legacy in a decisive fashion with lowtops breaking the tie to own a majority of the Zoom Kobe series. The Nike Zoom Kobe VII will probably show up on Kobe’s feet sometime around the turn of the year as with previous ZK models, their scaled uppers taking on a slightly different texture than this year’s Flywire-embedded TPU. The black/white colorblocking is super clean but leaves much to be desired in terms of seeing details so click through to see more of what’s been revealed and be sure to stick with Sneaker News for the latest including an eventual Zoom Kobe 7 release date. via CorkClothing

Clean, let the hype begin!
May 9th, 2011 at 9:12 am
they arent even done releasing kobe 6s yet -___-
May 9th, 2011 at 9:19 am
3 pitcures, all the same angle, jezz…!!!

I'm lovin' the midsole and the subtle increase in height. The upper is a bit dull, but the first samples always look this way until materials are changed and colors are added.
May 9th, 2011 at 9:22 am
Show them toes boss, just wanna see what the front looks like!
May 9th, 2011 at 9:32 am
That heel looks huge, hopefully some better pictures drop soon
May 9th, 2011 at 9:33 am
Looks like the Kobe IV's more than the V's and VI's
May 9th, 2011 at 9:36 am
Uhh, can "we" see the rest of the damn shoe? Please…
May 9th, 2011 at 9:58 am
Nike can't wait
May 9th, 2011 at 10:19 am
The sole thickness reminds me of the crazy 8s but they look very prototype-ish so I'll wait to judge the final product.

Just when kobe's were getting unique, nike started to recycle their designs…again
May 9th, 2011 at 10:21 am
Collar reminds me of the ZK4 and the midsole looks a bit chunky and overworked. I think Kobe is moving away from the "lightest"/"fastest" concept because of all the mishaps with the ZK6 – flew off his foot and all the ankle issues.
Need more pics to see if the shoes will be sweet.

They have been selling people the same shoe for the past 3 years.
May 9th, 2011 at 10:57 am
cool from INDONESIA !!!
May 9th, 2011 at 11:16 am
MAN IF THIS HAD BETTER CUSHIONING THEN THE 6'S, BETTER VENTALATION THEN THE 6'S AND AS COMFORTABLE OR EVEN BETTER TO WRAP AROUND YOUR FOOT THEN THE 6
S THEN THIS WILL BE A DEF COP FOR ME
O YEAH JASON TERRY FTW!!!!

i see this same comment on every shoe. people make more hype by saying that stuff.
May 9th, 2011 at 11:59 am
eh not impressed. Kobe is sliding down the Totem pole due to Sundays performance. They looked terrible…. What was BYNUM thinking?
May 9th, 2011 at 12:24 pm
NO, Its the same picture just cut and blown up a bit.
May 9th, 2011 at 1:44 pm
GETS UGLIER AND UGLIER
May 9th, 2011 at 2:29 pm
Seriously, no hating here, but I think Kobe should retire when his contract runs out. Sure, he's a hall of famer, but at the same time the guy had a very controversial carreer and was definitely the most overhyped player I've ever seen.
Since his team can't bail him out anymore, might stop for good.
Oh… and the shoes speak for themselves…
May 9th, 2011 at 3:22 pm
already better than the first look from yesterday… kobes are very detail oriented, which you cant see from fuzzy phone pics of a tonal cw. the aj 2011 was the same- if they released the jb classic and rabbits and pes first, everyone would love em.
May 9th, 2011 at 3:37 pm
fuse? if so i guess nike's gonna put that on every single now
May 9th, 2011 at 3:49 pm
nice dishwasher
May 9th, 2011 at 6:57 pm
Everything about Kobe is trash as it gets because of the player and his pathetic performance. I mean look at this one for instance. Looks complete trash. SMH at the Nike. Put some effort and try to save the wannabe for got sake or just throw the line away.
May 9th, 2011 at 7:36 pm
how in the world did whoever this guy is get these????
May 9th, 2011 at 9:48 pm
This shoe looks like a fucking transformer robot.
May 9th, 2011 at 11:21 pm
Why is that pot lid on the ground? At least set it on the counter son.
May 9th, 2011 at 11:27 pm
haha homer riding hard
May 10th, 2011 at 1:08 am
It looks like its about to transform into something else
May 10th, 2011 at 8:27 am
