We just got a look at its special packaging, which, like the Nike Zoom Kobe VI ‘China’, is inspired by traditional Chinese pottery, but what about the shoe itself? This is our best look at the ‘China’ Zoom Kobe 6 yet, one that reveals just how perfectly its colorway has been blended. In all previous photos it was obvious we’re dealing with a mostly tonal grey design, but in the careful light of these new shots we see that the base layer leans toward mauve to make the transition to Ink accents even smoother. Designs like this shouldn’t be overlooked cos they basically mark an entire new period in performance sneakers and basketball kicks in particular, when we’re going to enjoy seeing a ton of aesthetic options beyond traditional colorblocking.
