Part of the engrossing atmosphere of college basketball comes from the pagentry associated with school mascots. They’re always up to some kind of mischief and extend a school’s presence beyond its on-court five, something we don’t get to see enough at the professional level. So while we wait for more Suns Gorillas at NBA arenas across the country, maybe the Poison Dart Frog can be an unofficial ally for the LA Lakers (what’s a ‘Laker’, anyway?). The Nike Zoom Kobe VII sees another of its ‘PDF Pack’ releases done in Showtime colors, a shoutout to the Yellow-Banded Poison Dart Frog that adds purple to his distinctive coat to finish the Lake Show vibe. The mid-May release date puts these on pace to drop around the Conference Semifinal round of this year’s Playoff slate; do you plan to pick up a pair while Kobe’s Lakers stand in line for a chance at a sixth championship?
