As we saw Nike Basketball designer Eric Avar and Kobe Bryant himself discussing the Nike Zoom Kobe VII System yesterday, it became apparent that the inspiration behind the Black Mamba’s latest signature was heavily based upon three striking predators. Combining the reptile appeal of the ZK6 with great white shark and leopard DNA produced a kind of ‘Kobe Skin’ that gives the Zoom Kobe 7 a unique texture, the same kind of look echoed on this sick new Kobe VII System Supreme Backpack that’ll be available at Nike Vault in Los Angeles on Christmas Day. Only 50 of these angular hard shell cases will be released starting at 9:30am local time, so if you time it just right you’ll be able to watch A Christmas Story, grab a backpack with the ‘Del Sol’ Zoom Kobe VII Supreme and be back in time for to see Kobe’s Lakers take on Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls as part of the NBA’s tip-off spectacular.
