Nike SB Koston 1 – Vintage Green

That we saw a Zoom Kobe VI-infused hybrid released along with its initial drop seemed appropriate for the Nike SB Koston 1 thanks to both Kobe and Eric’s status as SoCal superstars.  And in the wake of the ‘Gorge Green’ ZK6 TB we just showed you, it’s clear the Koston 1 shares even more in common with Kobe Bryant’s sixth Nike Basketball signature sneaker, namely, the ability to make simple colorways look spectacular.  This Vintage Green suede goes for a light grey Swoosh, a combo which seems to invite a gum sole for that classic feel.  It’s such a given that you practically ‘see’ one peeking out from the side, despite the fact that on this pair, the outsole accent is in fact a speckled grey shade.  This solid Koston 1 colorway is slated for a spring 2012 release, so click through for more images and stick with Sneaker News for updates on these and all Nike SB release dates.  via N-SB
