We’ve come to expect a Hornets colourup for LeBron James Nike signatures, and also recently from Kobe Bryant’s kicks. Whereas LeBron’s refer to his first rec league team from back in grade school, Kobe was made a man on June 24th 1996, drafted by the then Charlotte Hornets. This Nike Zoom Kobe V is a clear sendup of the oldschool Hornets unis, and the reptile skin on the tongue especially, takes on a sort of hive-ish appearance when viewed in this context. Interestingly enough, there aren’t many more remarkable details aside from the colourway, so stick with Sneaker News and we’ll keep you posted on any updates. via Kenlu
