NBA Champ Kobe Bryant covers the latest game from the NBA 2K franchise NBA 2K10. This quick gameplay trailer gives us a good look at the upcoming games graphics, but the weighing question many of us probably have is how good do the kicks look? 2KSports went all out on this game giving you the option to customize your kicks including the Nike Zoom Kobe IV.

The latest in the Kobe vs. LeBron Puppet Commercials from Nike Basketball has LeBron studying some game tapes. Of course Kobe made up a special version just for LeBron. If you missed the first two, we’ve got you covered, check out the Three Rings and the Chalk commercials. Which commercial do you like the best so far? |
In a recent ESPN interview, Kobe Bryant sat down and discussed every aspect of his latest sneaker, the Nike Zoom Kobe 4. Listen to the in-depth interview in which Kobe describes the lightweight capacity of this sneaker, why taboo can be compared to wearing a low-cut sneaker, and how watching soccer inspired the design of the Nike Zoom Kobe IV. Tell us what you think about Bryant’s latest shoe after the jump. Via ESPN.
 In addition to the Kobe Bryant Hyperdunk four-sneaker pack , an exclusive Kobe Bryant Nike Hyperdunk ‘Snake Pool’ has been spotted at the House of Hoops in Los Angeles. These sneakers are supposedly an extra piece to the Kobe Hyperdunk pack.
Limited to only 36 pair, these basketball kicks were released for the grand opening of LA’s House of Hoops. With that said, they are the only store that carries them. Obviously, the Snake Pools are Los Angeles Lakers inspired and very eye-catching even in a dark room. Which sneaker out of the four-pack interest you the most? More pics after the jump provided by OSneaker. |
 While there could be a valid debate on whether Kobe had better signature shoes with Adidas or Nike, no one can deny that his “unsigned” year was the greatest. Part of his agreement with Adidas when the two parted ways was that Kobe had to have 1 year unsigned to any brand and not wear one brand’s shoes more than 3 games in a row.Â
Never officially a member of Jordan Brand, Kobe was treated with some of the best Jordan PEs ever (except for the man himself of course). Kobe received the Air Jordan 3, Air Jordan 7, *Update* Air Jordan 9 (got schooled by the dean), and Air Jordan 8 in special PE makeups to wear during the 2002-03 season. As for how many of each were produced, we have no clue, but finding them is an extreme rarity. A month or so ago at the Funkmaster Flex Sneaker Battle in Edison, NJ we did come across a pair of the Kobe PE Jordan 8’s, but even better that the shoe itself, they were game worn and signed by Kobe. These shoes won the award for Best Jordan in show. The current price on eBay reflects just how rare and special these shoes are (click to see). |
 Just in time for the 2008 Olympics, PremiumGoods. is releasing the last Nike Zoom Kobe 1, the “Atomic Kobeâ€, to commemorate Team USA athlete, Kobe Bryant.During the 2006 NBA All-Star Weekend in Houston, Nike invited six boutiques to take place in a design contest for an exclusive ZK-1 colorway. The stores included Alife, Huf, Nort, St. Alfred, Premiumgoods., and Undefeated. Kobe selected premiumgoods.’ design as the overall winner….
The inspiration for the “Atomic Kobe†came from numerous emotions mentioned in Kobe’s diary, the most important of which being energy. PremiumGoods. applied the infinity symbol throughout the shoe to represent the scientific equation of E=mc2, but also a rotated version of the number 8 (Kobe’s jersey number at the time). The atomic symbol on the side heel of each shoe features Kobe’s black mamba logo, representing the nucleus. On August 8, 2008 (08.08.08), 8 pairs will be released at both Brooklyn and Houston locations for $444. |
