Nike Zoom Kobe V “Chaos”
Posted by George Kiel III | Nov 3, 2009
From December 2008 up until now, we have seen almost every colorway you can think of on the Nike Zoom Kobe IV. It was obviously one of the most innovative sneakers ever produced from Nike Basketball, and it was well-received by both basketball players and non-basketball players (it was voted Best Signature Sneaker in our Kicks On Court Awards). However, there comes a point in time when the average sneaker enthusiasts wants to see something different. Therefore, Nike has answered our cries by confirming the upcoming Nike Zoom Kobe V sneaker. On December 26th, 2009, Nike will unleash the first colorway of the Kobe V dubbed the “Chaos”. If you recall, Nike unveiled a “Chaos” colorway of the Kobe IV at the beginning of this year. This Kobe V possesses a multi-colored upper consisting of foil-like side panels, a lime-colored swoosh, red/black shoelaces, a purple patent leather toe area and a heel panel and toe area of the same color. It is also finished with a lime outsole and a white/red speckled midsole. As for the overall design, the Kobe V owns a similar, low-cut design of the Kobe IV, yet, its collar and heel panel section seems more fit for ankle support. Click here to view detailed photos. What’s your thought on the Nike Zoom Kobe V? |

At first these shoes could get my feel of a great shoes. But seeing it personally and having to feel it on my feet made me say “Damn! Good shoes”
Also like the Chaos colorway as a tribute to a great actor. Well done on this design

UGLY!

I don’t know why people hate these shoes… Kobe designed these after soccer cleats, thus they are low tops. I mean since soccer players have less ankle injuries than basketball players, its obvious that high/low top shoes don’t factor as much as what people first thought. I think this is a great shoe. I mean, having a sturdy frame, nice cushion and having barely any weight, this will definitely improve people’s quickness and hops.

acics gel running shoes? how do yu compare sics with zoom 5
Dec 30, 2009 at 6:09 pm
kobe zoom 5 are the best basketball shoes yet ….to all the kobe haters who say the zoomiv and v are bad for your ankles then dont get them
Dec 25, 2009 at 12:47 am
kobe is not the 1st to wear lows, bibby actually prefers lows also. he has worn lows for years
Dec 22, 2009 at 1:38 am
ok 4 all the people who say the last 2 kobe shooes (4,5) dont have good ankle support because of the low tops you should know the fallowing: the kobe IV were made to have similarities to soccer cleats (1 of kobes favorite sports) ankle breaks are more common in basketball shoes than in soccer cleats….. So the kobe V would be a better choice 4 a basketballl shoe because it is in fact desighned to move with your foot, not to fit it.

Dey iight bt its not da shoes dats gonna win us da ship its da black mamba dats gonna shine

Kobe has the best shoes. Better than Jordans and Lebrons.
Dec 1, 2009 at 8:50 pm
Ugly. I better wear my ASICS gel running shoes. The kobes are more and more turn into running shoes… BAD!
Nov 13, 2009 at 6:39 am
For those saying Lebron VII’s look better, what the hell are you talking about? That shoe doesnt perform as good as it looks. True these shoes dont look as good as the IV’s but the performance must be sky high. You saw how light the IV’s were and they were incredible, lucky I copped a pair and I will cop a pair of the V’s but in Dream Team colors.
Lebron VII’s however, are high cut, supports the ankle thats good, but with all that height and length, the shoe will be heavier than the IV’s or V’s.
IMO, Kobe’s shoes are more on performance than looks.
Nov 11, 2009 at 7:56 pm
Oh man, they is ugly. But we need to wait and see the non chaos colors. Lakers colors and some nice white and blue.
Nov 11, 2009 at 7:43 pm
These shoes look way fly. I dont know why everybody is hating on them I think that the lime green is sick and the purple is a nice shade and they seem to go together well. If this shoes performs as well as my Kobe IV did on the court then this shoe will be a great buy
Nov 7, 2009 at 5:18 pm
just plain ugly
Nov 7, 2009 at 3:51 pm
Nike Zoom Kobe V “Mosquitos” IMO
Nov 7, 2009 at 2:55 pm
these are fire ! what a surprise that most of you dont like them just like th 4’s but just like last year these will out sell most of the shoes out there. cant wait for the id feature on these
Nov 6, 2009 at 8:36 pm
This was epic fail in the design department. I dont care how much theyre about performance, not an excuse for this monstrousity.
Nov 6, 2009 at 8:14 am
kinda weird
Nov 5, 2009 at 3:53 pm
DOPE..
id rock em in a hummingbirds wingbeat
Nov 4, 2009 at 11:41 pm
May have to pick up a pair of these…..
Nov 4, 2009 at 11:57 am
@NorthwestClassic
aint nobody wearing these fugazi shoes except kobe dickriders on and off the court.
Nov 4, 2009 at 10:41 am
I like them. They kinda look like the iv’s but it’s all good. Kinda like the AJ V and VI. I love it
Nov 4, 2009 at 10:14 am
mamba just wants the best hoops sneaker, not the best looking one.
But anyway, these are some crazy ass kicks….
please go “zoom-zoom” for me nike?
Nov 4, 2009 at 6:41 am
And I thought Answer XIII was ugly!!!WTF??!!
Nov 4, 2009 at 3:26 am
abt 30 dumb dumbs below me.
come dec 26 heads will fully engulf this shoe as well as all the other 5s.
Nov 4, 2009 at 3:16 am
Seen the early pics online and did not, could not believe these were the V’s - glad I got a few pairs of the iv’s - these look like the shoes you see that end up at Big Lots!!
How could Kobe and Nike get it soooooo wrong???????!!?????
I’m waiting for the LBJ VII - all black.
Nov 4, 2009 at 2:00 am
@ MJSF
If it’s a stupid ass concept then why are so many players wearing it this year? Don’t say it’s because they’re on Nike, there are plenty of other high tops they could’ve chosen.
Nov 4, 2009 at 1:31 am
of the hook
Nov 4, 2009 at 12:16 am
@thunder
You are a true life CRACKHEAD!
Nov 3, 2009 at 11:43 pm

Nov 3, 2009 at 10:56 pm
these shoes suck and all yall who are dying for these are diehard lakers fans/ diehard kobe fans/ or idiots because it aint nothing at all tight about these—-i wouldnt rock em for free and dont try me on no broke s–t i spend a good 2g’s monthly on myself
Nov 3, 2009 at 10:41 pm
I’ll reserve judgement til I see a different cw. These here are simply awful. They look like some sh!t steve nash would rock. Hopefully we can get a decent cw.
Nov 3, 2009 at 8:54 pm
KOBE WILL TURN HOMO ON THIS POOR GUY NO RESPECT FROM NIKE AT ALL LBJ GETS ALL THE CREDITS SAD TOO SAY…..
Nov 3, 2009 at 8:46 pm

Nov 3, 2009 at 8:35 pm

Nov 3, 2009 at 6:18 pm

Nov 3, 2009 at 5:41 pm

Nov 3, 2009 at 5:03 pm

stupid ass concept and this shoe is terrible.
Nov 3, 2009 at 4:41 pm
it looks like the back of the shoe has NO IDEA what the hell the front of the shoe is trying to do…turrble, just turrble (c) Sir Charles…
Nov 3, 2009 at 3:49 pm
anybody that live in the long island area… Wale will be at sneaker bistro boutique on November 9th!!! He will be signing copies of his cd attention deficit…..
Nov 3, 2009 at 3:40 pm
please some other colorway. This is awful.
Nov 3, 2009 at 3:39 pm
yup kobe iv’s look alot better, these look like cheerleading shoes….but i’d rock anything with the kobe logo…haha, thats sad…
Nov 3, 2009 at 3:14 pm
The Kobe IV’s are waaaaaaaaay better.
Nov 3, 2009 at 2:50 pm
They”ll prolly grow on me over time…….and arent they supposed to come with an ankle strap or sumthin?
Nov 3, 2009 at 2:49 pm
these are terrible.
Nov 3, 2009 at 2:36 pm
They look too much like the Adidas Gil-Zero.
Nov 3, 2009 at 2:30 pm
nice. i would like to see a different colorway. i know they gonna come out with hundreds of colors. when they come out with lakers colors i’ll def cop.
Nov 3, 2009 at 2:27 pm
Murder them out in Black and stick some MAMBA print on them hoes……than they will be immaculate…low tops is the sickest to ball in for ankle brakers….not you AIR FORCE ALA 89’s hightops leave that to the PF/Centers
Nov 3, 2009 at 2:03 pm
These are cold!!!! almost all one piece upper….mmm, nasty!
Nov 3, 2009 at 1:58 pm
um need to see another cw but these are really bad compared to the IVs
Nov 3, 2009 at 1:43 pm
the IV captured performance and style, which was a step up for kobe shoes, these just look like a low top huarache 2k4. with the colors from a popped metallic birthday ballon… the difference between this years chaos and last spells it out. last year was subtle, smooth and very wearable- this year looks kind of ridiculous and over the top.
Nov 3, 2009 at 1:35 pm
how about those LBJ 7’ssssss
Nov 3, 2009 at 1:33 pm
thats one ugly shoe!!!!!!!!!!!
Nov 3, 2009 at 1:33 pm
Eh…they’re different, but Kobe has never been one for real stylish kicks (remember the adidas Kobe 2?), but these are prolly really comfortable and functional.
Nov 3, 2009 at 1:33 pm
Look like running shoes
Nov 3, 2009 at 1:26 pm
these are a joke
Nov 3, 2009 at 1:06 pm
uh…no. Maybe in a different colorway, cause this one ain’t doing it for me.
Nov 3, 2009 at 1:00 pm
they look like chaos
Nov 3, 2009 at 1:00 pm
whoa!!! next colorway please.
Nov 3, 2009 at 1:00 pm
patent flywire? they’ve gone too far
