Nike Zoom Kobe V ? Deconstructed

The Nike Zoom Kobe V achieves an industry-wide feat with its petty weight-relative to that of a hooper-of a mere 10.6 ounces. You have probably read a little concerning how Nike designers accomplished this triumph. But have you seen it?

Here we have a deconstructed Nike Zoom Kobe V. The shoe has been dissected to reveal its intricate componentry. In this photo analysis you will see the seamless heat-bonded flywire shell, neoprene and mesh sub-layer, heel anchor, heel and forefoot zoom air bags, and midsole and outsole.

Do you have any more appreciation for the Kobe V now that you see how the puzzle assembles? Check all the photos after the jump and then hit us with your comments.
