We’ve seen secondary Kobe sneakers like the Venomenon in China, but it looks like the U.S. may finally get one as well. Here’s a first look at the Nike Zoom Kobe Gametime. Created as more of a low-end, bare bones version of the Kobe VIII, this pair maintains the Zoom Air unit, but uses a heavier sole and leaves the Flywire technology behind. Perhaps we’ll see these in stores by summer, but don’t expect to see the Black Mamba wearing these in any of the games. What do you think of these?
