October has been the month in which we’ve seen new signature models either unveiled or debuted for Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James, so it’s only right that arguably the world’s single most popular roundball player can get in on the action. The Nike Zoom Kobe VII has the potential to stand out above all the rest because even though the Melo M8 comes in dope New York Knicks colorways and even though you can design your own custom LeBron 9s on NIKEiD, the Zoom Kobe 7 is the only model featuring a removable inner bootie. And when something’s easily removable, it’s easily swapped, which suggests Kobe collectors will have a leg up on the rest of the sneakerhead population when it comes time to creating novel combinations. Should be an interesting season if we actually have one, and luckily we’re getting the Zoom Kobe VII at retail, probably by the end of the year if the past three drops are any indication. Check out more of this black and Del Sol ‘away’ look after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for updates including all the Nike Zoom Kobe VII release dates. via weibo
