For the most part, the Zoom Kobe line has been very traditional in terms of the location of the Swoosh. From the IV to the upcoming VIII, the Kobe signature line has presented the Swoosh right in the middle of the upper (the II and III progressively pushed it back to the heel), but a first look at the medial side of the shoe reveals the Swoosh sitting right at the ankle collar, revealing the specifically-engineered mesh-like shell on the upper. While the complete details of the Kobe VIII are yet to be revealed, this multi-angle view should give you an even closer idea of the entire design as we near an official reveal/launch in late December/early January. Multiple angles are just ahead so take a look and give us your thoughts on the evolution of the low-top Kobe and if Nike Basketball should continue with this approach.
