First he talked Zoom Hyperdunk 2011 Elite on camera. Today, Nike Basketball Senior Product Line Manager Charles Williams discusses the performance attributes that take the $200 Nike Kobe VII System Elite into the postseason in search of championship gold.
Take this minute-and-a-half guided tour with Charles on Kobe’s latest signature shoe and look for a deeper design discussion on all of Nike’s Elite Series hoops shoes with Brett Golliff in his interview with Leo Chang and Jason Petrie coming soon.
I’ve never had a good experience while playing in full length zoom air, as it makes the shoe feel incredibly mushy, then incredibly non supportive at the heel. That sort of setup impedes explosion, as many well know, those that actually play, that the more firm cushioning set up allows more leverage, more support, and then less breakdown. The whole high price and full zoom setup proves that this is nothing but a marketing ploy for those who crave that bouncy, cushy feeling, while sitting on their couches watching others play, or walking through the mall drinking their ten gallon slurpie.
That group in particular probably are the only ones who’ll be stupid enough to buy a plastic Kobe Bryant basketball shoe, at two hundred dollars, so thumbs up to Nike for knowing exactly what they are doing!
