Nike Zoom Kobe V

[v1nsanity3]

I think the last 2 shoes (III/IV)
when they were being "leaked"
no one liked them...
called them trash..

I see these being no different


look at all you beasts beasting on the IV now. lol

 

[kghinrich12]

I may be in the minority here, but I absolutely love these based on the above pics.

Like someone have mention, once kobe start doing work on the court with these the beast and the hype will follow. Most of the niketalkers are prettypredictable.

More like he is doing his best within the guidelines that Nike is placing on him.

I won't pass any judgement on these. But they do have potential. Most of you guys are disgusted by them, but once Kobe wears them in the game, we will beall over them.

 

[montemex3]

Actually Avar is designing shoes in the Innovation Kitchen, so theres really no guidelines or boundaries where he can take a shoe...hes justcreating what Kobe wants.
I seriously myself cant wait for actual photos or detailed shoes, i'd hoop in them nonetheless.

 

[size 15 please]

i wont judge these untill some pics of Kobe wearing them or some hot pic of them

 

[sonla]

I agree i'll wait 'til they hit the NBA Floor to really judge them. we'll just wait and see.

 

[thadoogal23]

I'll wait until they are on my feet and i'm wearing them until i judge them but they are going to have to go some as the IVs are one of my favouriteshoes......ever

I know that in the Innovation Kitchen, you have a big, free range to do a lot of things. But when it comes to making a shoe for production and Nike having toprofit so much off of it, there is a limit on what you can do with a shoe.

There is a reason why the prototypes and samples that they create in the Kitchen don't make it to production. A main reason of that is because it may costtoo much to take one of those prototypes and make it available to the general public.

 

[jdmfanatic]

these look nasty but I said that about every kobe shoe
and they all grew on me...

When it comes to the Lebron VI releasing one colorway is oversaturation.

These images definitely aren't looking great, but I do think these have potential. We'll just have to wait until pics of the final version to come out.

Not to mention that the shoe has to still be decent enough design wise for Footlocker or Eastbay to distribute the shoe. If it is too crazy none of thosecompanies would buy the shoe to sell in stores. Most people think the designers have free reign over a shoe but there are so many people that put there inputon a shoe in the design process. Fellow Designers, Design Directors, Marketing, Buyers, Development, etc. It is an extensive process.
