Last weekend the Nike Zoom Kobe VII went undercover with the ‘Invisibility Cloak’ look, and just under a week later it’s coming back on (on Friday the 24th to be exact) with quite a bang. The biggest of bangs in fact, just peep the galaxy splattered across the top end of the shoe. The sneaker stays true to its stellar name, with the silvery sections invoking the same NASA imagery as its peers. Kobe’s star has been longer than both LeBron and Durant, but who will come out on top when they go toes to toes in this epic Friday that’s right around the corner? Stay with us after the jump for some detailed shots of the Nike Zoom Kobe VII ‘All-Star’ from SoleAwesome, and you can get yourself a pair early now on eBay.

Nike’s history at the Olympic Games has been impressive to say the least; a look at the Team USAB ‘Dream Team’ Collection from just a few moments ago will show you that the patriotic U.S.A. colorways will only accentuate the beauty and bravado of a sneaker or a piece of apparel, and this viewing of the 2012 Team USAB Footwear and Uniform Collection should be affirmation that Nike’s relevance to the biggest international sports stage in the world will only grow stronger.
Here is a first look at the Team USAB Footwear and Uniform Collection by Nike Basketball; the Nike Hyperdunk 2012, which we unveiled earlier, will be the anchor of Team USA’s footwear (modeled by LeBron James and Deron Williams), joined by signature models of the Nike Zoom Kobe VII, and the Nike Zoom KD IV. The Hyper Elite uniforms, constructed of 100% recycled polyester material, are designed with Nike Aerographics that allows for maximum cooling, flexibility, and circulation. Also seeing action is the Nike Pro Combat Hyperstrong 2.0 Vis-Deflex. Continue reading for a detailed look at the Nike USAB Hyper Elite Uniforms and Footwear and be sure to stick with Sneaker News for more updates regarding all of Nike’s products for the 2012 Olympics.

It’s a concern for even the best long-term relationships, so how likely is it that the public has come to take the Kobe Bryant’s sustained greatness for granted? The NBA currently boasts a top-five elite the likes of which we haven’t seen for some time, but don’t forget that even Dirk, D-Wade, KD and LeBron are all a long way from the Black Mamba when it comes to winning championships and scoring titles. Kobe currently leads the league in PPG, with recent high-scoring outbursts at Staples Center showcasing this upcoming Nike Zoom Kobe VII release. The Zoom Kobe 7 ‘Lakers Home’ gets us into the ‘true’ Showtime palettes earlier than in the past couple years, but while Kobe continues to rock these, the release date remains a mystery. Check back with Sneaker News for updates and let us know how these Lakers designs compare to some of the envelope-pushing designs the ZK7′s shown off so far. via SA

Quite the eventful weekend, no? With the release of the Air Jordan IV ‘White/Cement’ on Saturday morning and the unfortunate online fiasco that happened in the early morning hours, this past weekend was certainly one of the most eventful ones of the month. Did anyone rock the Cement IV in the NBA? That distinction goes to San Antonio’s DeJuan Blair, who rocked the White/Cement IV with the Spurs throwback jersey. Quentin Richardson might’ve topped that by wearing his Black/Royal PE of the Air Jordan XIII, and Demar DeRozan continued wearing Kobe’s by rocking a sick Red/Black Zoom Kobe VII iD. The Jeremy Lin Show continued with a loss against the Hornets on Friday, but Linsanity returned on Sunday when the Knicks defeated the defending champion Dallas Mavericks in an exciting come-from-behind victory. J.R. Smith made his return to the NBA, chipping in with solid scoring for the Knicks while wearing the Nike Zoom Hyperfuse Low. The Air Jordan XI was again a popular choice, with the Space Jams and Concords making their weekly appearances, and LeBron James continued rocking PEs of his Nike LeBron 9 in back-to-back appearances against the Cavs and Magic. The weekend was capped off by Durant’s 51 points, Westbrook’s 40, and Serge Ibaka’s triple-double as the Thunder knocked off the Nuggets in OT.

Despite the moniker, this new Nike Zoom Kobe VII won’t help you blend in with your surroundings at all. Quite the opposite in fact, as the color changing upper is sure to break a few necks. That’s right, the Nike Zoom Kobe VII ‘Invisibility Cloak’ slides across a range of shades depending on the angle you look at them from, giving the Black Mamba an extra tool in his arsenal. And while they don’t bear the back emblem of any specific animal like other Nike Zoom Kobe VII ‘Predator Pack’ releases, it’s to hard to imagine why Nike passed up on the easy chameleon tie-in. Hit the jump for some new shots of this slick new Kobe colorway, which is hitting in the US on February 18th but will be available tomorrow, the 17th at Titan out in the Phillipines. via SM

With the impending crash landing of the Nike Basketball All-Star 2012 pack next week, have you made up your mind about which sneakers you’ll be tracking down during the hectic release? There are obviously quite a few vying for your attention but the Nike Zoom Kobe VII ‘All-Star’ should be pretty sought after based on the slim number of colorways for Kobe’s latest sig that have hit retail so far. The heavy black sectioning manages to make the sneaker blend in a bit more than its peers, at least to the extent that a sneaker with a galaxy printed on the upper can blend in. Follow us after the jump for the latest look at the Nike Zoom Kobe VII All-Star and stick with Sneaker News for word on where to get them come next week. via HoopCity

Linsanity has overwhelmed the NBA and pro-sports newsreel as the Asian sensation continues to prove that his six-game streak is no fluke. On Valentine’s Day, Jeremy Lin blew a kiss of death to Raptors fans with a game-winning three-pointer to finish off the game while wearing the Nike Zoom Hyperfuse 2011 Low (with rumors of a ‘Linsanity’ PE swirling around). Amare Stoudemire and his Nike Air Max Sweep Thru was welcomed back into the line-up as he contributed a very Amare-like stat-line of 21 and 9. LeBron James rocked a Red/Black PE of the Nike LeBron 9 as the Heat finally turned the table on the Bucks, while the Wizards’ Jordan Crawford switched up his rotation by wearing the Nike Huarache Free Bball 2012 in the Black/Royal colorway. Of course, we’ve got a lot more for you below, like Al Harrington’s LeBron 9 iD, Amir Johnson’s White/Red Kobe VII, and Nate Robinson’s Air Jordan X, so check out some of the best NBA kicks from the previous two nights and let us know who rocked the best kicks! via Yahoo!

Any Kobe shoe looks its best when a triangle offense of white, purple, and yellow are implemented, and here we have another look at a ‘Home Lakers’ colorway of the Nike Zoom Kobe VII that we first showed you on Monday. It’s got that simple approach to a Kobe shoe that should precede all the ‘Shark’, ‘Wolf’, and ‘Leopard’ craze, but don’t be too surprised because a White/Yellow/Purple Zoom Kobe VI shoe (yes, the one before this one) didn’t release until well after the 2010-2011 NBA Season was in the books. The response to this colorway was that of general high praise, so peep this new gallery before and let your thoughts be known in the comments section below – just stay tuned to Sneaker News and we’ll have a release date for ya. via kinstor

While Kobe Bryant did get chased out of MSG courtesy of the Knicks, he was able to retreat to the Foot Locker at Herald Square as a safe haven. It was there where he sat down for a quick interview, as well as a meet and greet with fans who were given the special opportunity to cop the Nike Zoom Kobe VII ‘Shark’ a little bit ahead of their Valentine’s Day due date. The West Coast was clearly in the building, with fans of all ages showing Kobe love and grabbing up pairs of the latest colorway of the Nike Zoom Kobe VII. Hit the jump for some photos from the event as well as a quick video spot, which is unfortunately lacking in any #KOBESYSTEM words of wisdom. Also, don’t forget that the Nike Zoom Kobe VII ‘Shark’ will be available for the the rest of you at midnight tonight.

While the single biggest trend typifing Nike Basketball’s Zoom Kobe signature series was implemented on the fourth installment, another notable shift occurred on last year’s model. The Zoom Kobe VI came in a huge variety of colorways, but only toward the very end of the product cycle did we see a true Los Angeles Lakers colorway featuring both purple and gold. It’s been the same with the Nike Zoom Kobe VII, although the emergence of this Lakers ‘Home’ colorway would suggest that we’ll be getting these a bit earlier than the ‘Lakers 3D’ and ‘Gradient’ ZK6s that only released this past November. Might this projected March 31st drop end up being a playoff edition for Kobe, who’s been rocking the black and Del Sol Kobe VII Supremes most frequently so far in this abbreviated season? Stick with Sneaker News for all the upcoming Kobe VII System release dates and check out this new colorway in more images in the meantime. via Taobao
