One of the reasons Kobe Bryant is so well respected and will forever be remembered as one of the games great assasins is the quality that makes him demand the ball in crunch time. Kobe is cold blooded in the clutch, and given the way he’s been playing at Duke of late, Austin Rivers might be building himself into something similar. Doc’s son has been rocking the Hyperdunk 2011, but many of his Blue Devils teammates are wearing this Nike Zoom Kobe VII PE in those colors everyone seems to really love or strongly hate. Standout players like Miles Plumlee have been spotted in these black and blue Kobe 7s, and like the VIs (unlike the Vs), these don’t drive the point home with any team insignias. Let us know if you’d like to see the classic ‘D’ in tow, and stick with Sneaker News as we approach the March 1st release date. via Dunk
