Nike Zoom Kobe VII Elite – White – Metallic Gold – Black

Nike Basketball’s Elite Series sets a new gold standard for the industry, applying the best materials and luxurious colorways to the latest generation of their world-beating performance machines.  The Nike Zoom Kobe VII Elite might be the best of them all, because the moment you lay eyes upon this elegant white, black and gold design, you’re met with the realization that this could be the one that Kobe’s wearing when he matches Michael Jordan with six NBA Championship rings.  That kind of winning pedigree paired with top-notch technology and dignified good looks has these arriving late next month with a $200 MSRP.  Your challenge, now, is not in determining whether you’ll get a pair of Zoom Kobe 7 Elites, but rather, choosing if it’ll be the black ‘away’ edition or this ‘home’ pair you can see in greater detail after the jump (and what about the equally sick LeBron 9s and Hyperdunk 2011s?!).  Let us know where these rank amongst their Elite brethren and stick with Sneaker News for updates on this April 28th release.  via Taobao
