Kobe VI prototype sans heel cup




snakeskinWIRE...3rd generation flywire rofl

nice to see that flywire is still present

Nike has really been on their job with the Kobe line, 7 great basketball shoes, counting the 2Ks, and they are still innovating and pushing the envelope. I wasn't sure the V was capable of being topped, but its looking like they might pull it off

I'm bitter myself.. I got 2 pairs of homes, no Aways, and still can't find a pair in my size (well I guess for a decent price at least )

But, I can't not buy Kobe's, it was messed up how they handled that release though for sure.

 

[rico7jt]

Cant wait to see how they work all these colorways up.

 

[mvplikekobe24]

what does Kobe have to do to get his own box already...this fool bron been having his own...SMH

 

[welcometothetonezone]

That's a clean looking shoe. I can't wait to see detailed pics to see the detailing of this shoe.

 

[kobe jordan]

they are looking good

 

[hunt24]

ok im officially ready the the final version of this shoe is gonna be amazing the prototype has so much potential and the kobe line is the greatest show line after the jordan 1-13 EVER!!!!! i include the 2k4 and the 2k5 they were originally suppose to be the kobe 1 and 2

i want them to keep it OG, if they change to a fancier box than that will give them an excuse to up the price all together.

it aint like you wearin the box anyways.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the first teaser pic.. They better add some other materials.. At least to the medial side.

But now... I like that the whole upper is snakeskin.. I'd be happy if it stayed

Yeah, the midsole looks a little bulky, like the V outrigger on steroids. They need to do work on that.. I hope the heel cup is something more ornate looking.

or we could have the base be a colour, and the pebbles be a different colour. there are a lot of options..

Gradient colors would look really sick with this material!!

What other shoe looks like this?
The shoe looks like a collector's item of some sort.

Od on the snakeskin?.... I like it tho. Makes it look real dope, sorta like a premium looking shoe.
I like gator/croc theme shoes too, so I'm sold on snake print.

Sorta like croc skin boots or any other high end dress shoe... Move aside XI.. I kid!

I love this aspect from what I see. With that crazy texture, creasing will be hard to detect.

I like the orange boxes.. I think others would agree. It says, it's not about the box, it's about what's in the box. Give us plain boxes if that means more durable material, better quality, and a lower price etc.

Kobe's sig needs to stay somewhere on the shoe though.

YUKU DOUBLE

 

[mjrod1985]

Damn.. I can't wait to see the final product! I'm hyped and excited.. I see a lot of potential!

 

[mjrod1985]

YUKU TRIPLE PLAY

 

[tha real a2thamos]

Kobe's are getting better and better!

 

[haydenhouser]

I'm so excited for this shoe and what the final product looks like!

 

[haydenhouser]

pump fake.

 

[trunkz550]

These remind me of the zk3 but with some hype, advertising, and of course we all know the performance will be there. Zk3's were b4 their time and these seem to be an extension of them.

 

[MVP]

"Snakeskin" sneakers!!

Not only will we be able to kill on the court with these, but they'll serve dually to go with some zoot/choppa suits! Copped x3

 

[vulkanthekrusader]

Yeahhhhhhhhh there they are.

 

[xinvasian661x]

when i saw the tease pic, the only thing i did was drool

[wyse23]

These are looking good. I am starting to think the final product could be close to the level of the V's.

 

[GL Rayner]

We have another winner. Imagine an all purple upper with a yellow nike sign

....

 

[ruxxx]

I definitely agree with that point trunkz550.These could've easily been the 4 on some evolution type %!$!.With the 4 and the 5 it seems as though they sort of held back on REALLY taking the Kobe line to the next level (aesthetically).That's not a knock on the final result because both sneakers are still dope,however just look at the 3 compared to the 4 and the 5 (aesthetically).
