Nike Zoom Kobe V Sample
Posted by George Kiel III | Jul 6, 2009
The majority of you dubbed the Nike Zoom Kobe IV this year’s Best Signature Sneaker and rightfully so. Fast forwarding to the 2009-2010 NBA season, will the Nike Zoom Kobe V win the aforementioned award for next year? First off, we must note that this is merely a sample version of the Nike Zoom Kobe V. With that said, you cannot judge this shoe off of these photos. However, it does seem that Kobe is sticking with the low-cut sneaker for the upcoming year. It possesses a very similar silhouette of the Kobe IV, yet, it contains a couple of differences. For example, the base seems to be seamless and in one piece. Supposedly, the Kobe V will be even lighter in weight and not contain Lunar Foam. What are your thoughts on this Nike Zoom Kobe V sample?

The ankle brace with the kobe sign looks hot
Jul 11, 2009 at 11:34 pm
they like the others
Jul 11, 2009 at 8:51 pm
Look like someone made them dips wit some electrical tape
Jul 11, 2009 at 6:15 pm
the ankle brace is reminiscent of the melo ankle brace on the 4s

The Fat Tongue on the IV is way better - other than that… virtually the same, no reason to upgrade if you have the IV and if you can still get the IV it’ll def be cheaper - I really see no reason to get this instead of the IV,
The sole is dope tho…

they look super light due to the seamless one-piece upper. the heel area of the outsole kinda reminds me of a chicken footprint though… although if it works best for traction then i can’t complain…

Nothing spectacular or worth jumping through fiery hoops.

*retarded
Jul 8, 2009 at 11:18 am
wow they look exactly the same and nike is retared cus they designed a shoe that wasnt practical last time and kobe had to get his ankles wrapped like a mummy……now they gonna do the same thing and just add a ankle support……hmmmmm…..JUST MAKE A MID!!!
Jul 8, 2009 at 6:52 am
the zoom kobe IV are better !
Jul 7, 2009 at 11:29 pm
i dont think this is gonna top the IVs.. edited i messed up on the first one because the comp im on is weird
Jul 7, 2009 at 11:28 pm
i donot think this is gnona top the IVs
Jul 7, 2009 at 8:45 pm
kinda like the M4s with the ankle support
Jul 7, 2009 at 6:38 pm
Melo22: i’ve seen the CAD pictures from Nike for the Winter10 range. It’s this shoe. It’ll change a little before it drops, but this will be the shoe. Trust me, I’m a Nike Basketball Specialty retailer.
Jul 7, 2009 at 3:20 pm
You guys are wrong.
This was a KOBE IV SAMPLE and they changed it…do you really think nike would make nearly the same shoe as last year and expect to sell just as much o rmore?
There smarter then that guys…
Jul 7, 2009 at 10:18 am
They kind of look like a golf shoe? something that Tiger Woods would rock???
Jul 7, 2009 at 10:09 am
they look like they’re gonna be nice
Jul 7, 2009 at 8:18 am
If these are as comfy as the IV’s, and now have no lunar foam in them (all zoom air), it’s a must cop. I’ll buy 3-4 pair and wear them til the wheels fall off.
Jul 7, 2009 at 7:57 am
theyre like trainers ! ampp
Jul 7, 2009 at 3:06 am
p.s. there’s definitely flywire in there, it’s concealed by the black upper
Jul 7, 2009 at 3:05 am
The CAD picture I saw at Nike three weeks ago was a lakers home colourway for inline… nice to see a sample pic, I’m guessing these aren’t gonna be colours they use, just basic samples for wear testing and Kobe giving the go ahead.
Jul 7, 2009 at 2:36 am
nice job , is an that an anklestrap. hmm no flywire?
Jul 6, 2009 at 11:23 pm
the evolution of basketball…those samples are ill..might top the 4’s imo..
Jul 6, 2009 at 9:40 pm
looks crazy, cant wait 4 next season
Jul 6, 2009 at 8:49 pm
Love the shoe, don’t like the all black colorway. I seen these drawn up in lakers colors and they were SICK!!! I think these are going to be one of the most comfortable shoes Nike has ever made!!! Love the one piece upper!!! Look way more comfortable than the Kobe IV’s
Jul 6, 2009 at 8:31 pm
boring
Jul 6, 2009 at 8:07 pm
these are so plain
Jul 6, 2009 at 7:11 pm
Gonna have to see the final product to form a real opinion. These look way to similar as of right now. I see they are incorporating some type a sock liner/brace ala the Melo’s from a couple years back.
Jul 6, 2009 at 6:23 pm
Why don’t they just brand the Kobe’s, Vapors? Vapors use the same technology and look exactly the same. If you guys are familiar with soccer and tennis.
Jul 6, 2009 at 6:23 pm
these look like the IVs with barely any changes…
Jul 6, 2009 at 6:13 pm
Lighter than IVs wow is that possible? But yeah these look tite wouldn’t mind 4 ballin kobe always got da best ballin shoes
Jul 6, 2009 at 5:58 pm
these are kinda lookin like iverson v’s these ones:

Jul 6, 2009 at 3:26 pm
Wat r the things connected to the shoe?
i bet it will look way better when they complete it
Jul 6, 2009 at 3:24 pm
i like these alot. but still like the IVs better.
Jul 6, 2009 at 3:24 pm
I would need to see more colorways. The KB IV is a Nike Classic. It will be hard to top the design.
Jul 6, 2009 at 3:23 pm
seems interesting, i like that shoe, super light i would hoop indoors or work out in it
Jul 6, 2009 at 3:23 pm
these pics make em look better than the other but still way too plain
