Nike Zoom Kobe V “Bruce Lee”
Kobe Bryant is a cultured cat. While haters may have used his eclectic taste to circle him as a square years ago, the fact that he studies sculptors and pulls from painters all add to his basketball mind. Museum muses aside, he’s also a fan of film. Legend Bruce Lee inspired this Kobe colorway that has gone on to detail many a do-up. From his fighting skills to his philosophy, Kobe’s liking of Lee makes perfect sense.
Nike Zoom Kobe VI “Grinch”
Say hello the bad guy. While Kobe may have came up with the baby fro and pop star marketing, he’s embraced the villain role many times throughout his career. The “Grinch” Kobe VIs saw a tongue and cheek take for his Christmas kicks and resulted quite possibly in his most popular pair to ever release.
Nike Zoom Kobe VII “Cheetah”
The Black Mamba went all Animorphs on the “Cheetah” Kobe VII System. Also a Christmas colorway, this adaptable release saw another performance pair gaining high esteem in collector circles. Gaining help from Kanye West in the shoe’s marketing campaign, this colorway even inspired a very rare Yeezy 2 sample.
