Zoom Kobe V Black Purple & Gold

The Kobe V by Nike features zoom air and is one of the lightest low top basketball shoe ever made.  Designed to keep Kobe low and fast the Zoom Kobe V is an upgrade from the Kobe 4 weighing in at only 10.6 ounces.  While lightweight, performance does not suffer… it will take all the punishment you can deliver while giving back consistently.  Flywire and Zoom Air allow for this next level performance.

While its core strength comes from the heel cup, the flywire straps support and lock-down lateral support mechanisms are unparalleled. Lateral cuts are adeptly handled by outrigger sole elements which also add lightweight support.

Design elements include EKG like grooves in the outsole, snakeskin print on some colorways and flywire imprints throughout. See all available colorways here…
