NIKE AIR ZOOM KOBE V LAUNCH EVENT by NIKE

Told ya'll about these kicks last week...well Nike & Kobe had a launch event for these and I wish I could've gone.  But here is some info and photos I found on HighSnobiety:

Last week we reported about Nike’s new 10.6 ounce basketball shoe, the Air Zoom Kobe V. We also attended the launch event in Los Angeles and can now give you a little behind-the-scenes look at the event. Designers Eric Avar and Matt Nurse were in attendance at the LA Forum, alongside Kobe Bryant and announcer Kevin Frazier, to present the soccer-inspired basketball shoe. The event also included a Air Zoom Kobe V NIKEiD session at The Montalban Theater and a pick up game at Venice Beach with the Venice Basketball League.

NIKE AIR MAX LEBRON VII...UMMMMM

Ummm...if I didn't make the Finals, I get dunked on at my camp and had to face countless other scrutinies this summer, I'd tell Nike to head back to the drawing board with these. However the bulkyness of the shoe is probably very supportive of LeBron's size and athleticism..but they're still not a cool shoe. Once again Bron, take notes from Kobe. What's worse? Nike is having a whole show/event today for the show. If you like these and want updates about the show go here.
