Look familiar? Well, they really shouldn’t. We first showed you catalog images of the Nike Zoom Kobe Venomenon III in early June, but as we get a first look at an actual sample, we can only deduce that a) a major change was made from the beginning stages to sample production, or b) the two shoes are entirely different models. The overall profile of the shoes are similar, but the placement of the Swoosh has gone from forefoot (like in the Hyperdunk 2012s) to the center, but with the forefoot Swoosh being the more popular choice for models that arrived the Kobe VII, it’s not entirely certain as to which is the true Venomenon III. In any case, this particular pair proudly represents the ‘Venomenon’ chapter on the tongue, with an energetic Teal/Yellow/Grey colorway and a speckled midsole as seen in the previews, so check out gallery below and we’ll keep you updated with more Venomenon clarifications as they develop.
