CounterKicks has exclusively obtained the first detailed photos of Kobe Bryant’s next signature shoe, the Nike Zoom Kobe VII.
The Zoom Kobe VII images show a continued evolution of the low cut line. https://web.archive.org/web/20110607015655/http://counterkicks.com/tag/nike-zoom-kobe-vii/A 3D print, line segmented design appears across a Skinwire/Flywire upper. ZKVII also features an extended outrigger, midfoot flex groove, carbon fiber shank plate, external TPU heel counter, heel crashpads, and Zoom Air cushioning.
Underfoot, the solid rubber outsole design advances aesthetically from the mamba snake inspired ornamentation of the previous Zoom Kobe VI. The new Zoom Kobe VII model exhibits a fractal geometric traction pattern and decoupled heel design.
In total, while this particular version of the Nike Zoom Kobe VII is an early prototype/development sample where continued refinements and changes will be made towards final production, it gives you the first multiple angle look at Kobe Bryant’s on-court game shoe for next season.
Over the course of the last several weeks, CounterKicks has obtained and developed the information on the Nike Zoom Kobe VII from one of our readers who contacted us (send us info: [email protected]) and provided the images seen here exclusively to CK. That tipster has since listed his Zoom Kobe VII prototype on eBay.
