Nike is attacking the Zoom Kobe VIII from multiple divisions coming up here shortly, the next logical step after having given us so many different versions of Kobe Bryant’s seventh Swoosh signature. The Nike Zoom Kobe VII continues its push right up until the closing whistle (or the opening tip on Christmas Day, as the case may be) with the speckle-soled Lakers-accented colorup whose nearly even black/white distribution has them feeling more like an ‘Alternate’ getup than traditional ‘Home’ or ‘Away’. They are, though, a more familiar approach to team colors than something like the ‘Poison Dart Frog’ or the yin-yang-ish ‘Snakepool’ edition; how do you feel about its relatively tame design? Let us know after you’ve seen more photos below and find a pair for yourself at Euro Nike Basketball retailers like Afew, who got theirs about two weeks ahead of the early November US drop.
