Nike Zoom Kobe V “Chaos” and Air Max LeBron VII “Christmas”

Nike Zoom Kobe V "Chaos" and Air Max LeBron VII "Christmas"

Kobe and LeBron will sport the Nike Zoom Kobe V and Air Max LeBron VII “Christmas” during the Cavs-Lakers game, respectively. Whether you’re a fan of either, or both, players and their signature shoes, you’re sure to be pleased to hear that the day after Christmas, both release for sale nationwide.

The LeBrons had previously not been given an official release date, while the Kobes weren’t set to release until mid-January of 2010. If you recall, the Nike iD versions became available for sale this morning as well, but require a 4-6 week wait time, so if you just can’t hold out that long, you have less than 24 hours after their debut to grab the Zoom Kobe V “Chaos.” The LeBron VII “Christmas” was done especially for today’s game in a black and red gradient look, with a classic LeBron photo on the insole, capturing him receive his first basketball hoop at a tender young age. Talk about the gift that keeps on giving…

    THE BEST COLORWAYS THAT HAVE CAME OUT IN STORES OF THE LEBRONS SO FAR HAVE BEEN THE PHATOMS

    Kobe’s my favorite basketball player and I think the Lakers are going to kill the Cavs on Christmas. But the LeBron 7s are much better than the Kobe 5.

    does anybody know if these are general release or limited???

  8. Posted by Levi V at December 23, 2009 at 11:40 am

    Both are good shoesnot liking the lebron colorway would have overlooked the kobe colorway but i saw the track jacket he wore with them it was murder from there but lebrons are better looks wise than the kobe

    i feel stupid but the lebron cw is killing it… i hate the chaos cw… it looks retarded

  11. Posted by TC at December 23, 2009 at 12:05 pm

    Levi V – thats what i thought but the article says “you?re sure to be pleased to hear that the day after Christmas, both release for sale NATIONWIDE” the key word being NATIONWIDE… i wanna cop both but i need to know if i need to wake up early or not…. Matt can you pls advise???

  12. Posted by R E E at December 23, 2009 at 12:10 pm

    Sneaker – you should feel stupid cuz these are the UGLIEST VIIs released!!
    What are you guys thinking?? They look like a big pimple that’s half blackhead and coagulated blood!
    YUCK.
    The CHAOS isn’t the best colorway of the V… and if I had to take one of them it’d actually be neither.
    but, since both shoes are LIMITED I guess that’s why some of you are BEASTIN’ over ‘em.

    I like both shoes in terms of design…but, honestly, the V takes it for me.
    Progressive design, lightest basketball shoe, technology, STYLE…etc etc etc

    The Kobe’s look like the last pair! They’re WEAK! The Kobe 2′s were the best pair! As far as looks go anyways! The Lebron’s are RETARDED! Way better looking shoe! He is becoming a brand like Jordans. The L7 over the K5! Deaded!

  14. Posted by R E E at December 23, 2009 at 12:40 pm

    again, I’m not a fan of either of these colorways…I like both shoes…but, let’s keep this 100 just on sheer shoe game.
    THIS CW of Lebrons are RETARDED…in that short yellow bus, slow class kinda way.
    Kobe Vs are yet to be determined if they’re the best release but until then Kobe IV are HANDS DOWN the best release of the series.
    …have you been paying attention to KICKS ON THE COURT?
    When’s the last time you saw droves of players wearing an active player’s SIGNATURE shoe?

    (jeopardy music starts playing)

    What player besides maybe a Cavalier wears Lebron’s shoe?

    (crickets starts chirping)

  15. Posted by retr0_swift at December 23, 2009 at 12:58 pm

    both r lame……..

  16. Posted by TC at December 23, 2009 at 1:02 pm

    for everybody who’s saying that we must be crazy/stupid to cop these.. thank you for ur opinion but the last time i checked, we make our own money and we’ll spend it as we please… if you’re not feeling these, thats fine… just move on son…..

  17. Posted by champ22 at December 23, 2009 at 1:27 pm

    so is it for certain that kobe will be wearing the “chaos” on the 25th?

  18. Posted by littlph at December 23, 2009 at 1:28 pm

  22. Posted by this guy says... at December 23, 2009 at 1:58 pm

    i like both of these pairs. the joker inspired chaos is under the christmas lebrons on my list though.

  23. Posted by TC at December 23, 2009 at 2:03 pm

    its all good REE – i wasn’t talking about you just the so called sneakerheads who feel the need to tell people what they should and shouldn’t buy…

  24. Posted by Chris at December 23, 2009 at 3:04 pm

    I like both of them, if I had to choose one, it would be the LeBron’s only cuz I would have to find a crazy fit for the Kobe 5.

  25. Posted by 5neakerrHeadd at December 23, 2009 at 3:38 pm

    Lebronss all dayy .

  26. Posted by MJSF at December 23, 2009 at 4:29 pm

    LOL @ john b ” yo matt, these gonna be GR or limited?” you would think people would have learn there lesson after the space jam madness LOL

  28. Posted by shuru421 at December 23, 2009 at 9:31 pm

    both are weak.

  29. Posted by The Church of Jordan at December 23, 2009 at 10:50 pm

    I’m just glad neither have ice soles.
    So, with that said…
    I’m more inclined to get the Kobe Chaos 5, since I already own the LeBron Red Carpet VII’s.
    Which, as others have said, was the best LR CW, +NFW shoe from LeBron in the VII series to date.
    Though, these Christmas ones may still be worthy of a purchase for in-door gameplay since I want to play in a pair of VII’s but don’t want to mess up my Red Carpets.
    Will have to get a seat in HoH on Saturday to make up my mind.

    PS – ice soles suck.

    Kobe V is the far more superior shoe.

  31. Posted by greenmaker24 at December 24, 2009 at 12:37 am
