Despite the Lakers’ recent complete and utter trouncing by the Celtics (to the joy of all the Boston residents out there, and the shame of all the Angelinos), there’s still plenty of fire in the team; don’t forget, they DID make it to the playoffs, and have been a dominating force in the NBA for several years. This can be in large part chalked up to the overbearing presence of Kobe Bryant, arguably the most famous Laker in history. For all those who have confidence that the Lakers will indeed take the title next season, led by the indomitable Mr. Bryant, these Zoom Kobe III’s might be just the thing. Commemorating Kobe’s status as the Laker MVP, these PE’s are a great representation of Kobe’s presence as the regular season MVP for the Lakers, as well as a fresh pair of kicks.

Last month, Sneaker News was the first to bring you first and official look at the Yi Jianlian Nike Hyperdunk, now a month later, you can pick up a pair of your own. Last month on May 13th, 2008, in Beijing, Nike officially announced the uniforms of the China Federations and Yi was there wearing his Hyperdunk which matches the Chinese Basketball Uniform. This edition of the Hyperdunk features the Yi Logo on the tongue and the number 11 in the inner toe area. Just as a refresher, the Hyperdunk combines two new Nike innovations: Flywire technology and Lunarlite foam. Flywire redefines footwear construction, shaving off weight and adding strength, allowing athletes to be lighter on their feet and faster on the track and on the court. Lunarlite foam features a unique cell structure making it lightweight and ultra responsive as a cushioning system. Photos: RMK Store on eBay
