The last time the NBA suffered through a labor dispute-shortened regular season was also the last one that Kobe Bryant played through before becoming an NBA Champion. That might suggest good things for next year, but for an aging Lakers squad whose leader is currently nursing a shin injury, the time is now if Kobe wants to claim that sixth championship ring. But in order to get to the top, you’ve got to take your time and do things the right way, so while the Zoom Kobe 7 Elite will debut in just under two weeks. we can expect new colorways of the Nike Zoom Kobe VII throughout the rest of its now established December-to-December product cycle. This Concord-accented edition would make an ideal ‘Away’ look when Showtime hits the road; might we see these early on next year as LA defends its sixth Kobe-era chip? Stick with Sneaker News to find out these and more details, including this pair’s US release date. Photos: Washinsp
