The Nike Zoom Kobe VII System is the result of a confluence of forces including Nike Basketball’s Kobe signature series evolving from last year’s snake-scaled upper, the recent increase in animal print popularity and a sneakerhead fan base that demands the shoe look as amazing as it performs. The Zoom Kobe 7 came out of the gate with fury, its Christmas ‘Leopard’ colorway one of the most eye-catching kicks on the NBA’s season opening showcase, and has released in a variety of Predator and Poison Dart Frog colorups in the interim. The latest revelation makes Nike’s December Tweet about the Leopard’s inspiration seem as much foreshadowing as it was clarification, as the ‘Cheetah’ Zoom Kobe VII is indeed alive and ready to pounce on back to school shoppers. These will arrive at select retailers on August 25th; how does their spotted design compare to all the other animal-inspired ZK7s we’ve seen so far? via SoleCollector
