Still trying to get your hands on a pair of the Prelude Kobe VIIs released last weekend? Just like every pair in this pack released so far, the Kobe VIIs sold out instantly. Luckily, quite a few pairs made it to eBay. They aren’t cheap, but a second chance is better than no chance at all. Here’s a direct link to the listings.

Now the the first Kobe colorways are finally preparing to release, we’re starting to see more creative designs planned for the near future. Here’s a first look at the Kobe VII “Shark”. Taking inspiration from a shark in the water, the upper has received a water-like pattern which fades to black on the edges. This is matched with blue, black, and white accents on the heel and sole. Stay tuned for release information on these. From Marqueesole.

Finally, we have some new release info on the Nike Zoom Kobe VII Supreme. The Kobe VII will initially release as both the Kobe VII System and Kobe VII System Supreme to allow the option of customizability. The Kobe VII will be geared more towards speed, utilizing an “Attack Fast” system. For the player who would like to choose between speed and strength, the Kobe VII System Supreme will include not only the Attack Fast system, but a “Play Stong” one as well.
By now, you’re probably wondering, what exactly do the options include? The Attack Fast system focuses more on speed and light weight, and will include the standard Phylon midsole and Nike Zoom units, placed at the forefoot and heel. The Play Strong system adds additional support for strong moves to the basket thanks to a full-length cushioned midsole and an ankle cuff. The Kobe VII System will retail for $140, while the System Supreme will cost $180. They are expected to release on December 22, with this Black/White-Del Sol colorway hitting stores first.

LeBron gets a gets special Christmas colorway every year, so it’s only fair that Nike make one for Kobe as well. To celebrate Xmas, the Kobe VIIs have received a red upper, green laces and a matching heel, and a yellow swoosh. Yellow Flywire material and white sole has been used to complete the look. There is no official release date yet, but you can bet that the Black Mamba will be rocking these on Christmas Day as the Lakers start the NBA season against the Bulls. From Trrbo823.
Nike’s popular volt color has finally made it to the Zoom Kobe VII starting with this hot new colorway. A volt layer can be seen underneath the sneaker’s mostly black upper, which has been overlaid with a volt swoosh. Dark grey accents have been placed on the heel and sole.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen quite a few Kobe VII colorways, but very little info on either pricing or release dates. Luckily, info always has a way of surfacing, and it’s finally available to us. As it turns out, the Kobe VII will actually have three types of releases, general, “Supreme” and “Elite”. The firs couple of colorways to debut in December and January are Supreme releases, and will retail for $180. A lot of what we’ve seen so far are probably general releases, which will be the easiest to obtain, retailing for $140. The Elite releases, on the other hand, will probably not release until next year, and will most likely feature nicer materials. They will retail for $200. Thanks to the lovely folks at ISS, here’s a list of all the known upcoming Kobe VII releases, including their respective dates.

Back in May, we got a first look at the Nike Zoom Kobe VII. The first revealed colorway was completely blacked out, making the details somewhat difficult to see. This time, however, we get a look at a more colorful pair. Done in a Lakers theme, this pair has received a black base, with purple and gold accents. The overall cut of the sneaker remains the same, and Flywire remains a vital part of the sneaker’s structure, but more importantly, we can can really see the its beefy internals. For extra cushioning, a detachable sock liner has been included for extra cushioning, and it also provides ankle support thanks to a Velcro strap. With the NBA season still in jeopardy, it’s uncertain as to when the Kobe VIIs will release, but they are sure-proof that Nike’s still getting more and more innovative with the Kobe lineup.
Add one more Nike Zoom Kobe VI colorway to the lineup with this upcoming White/Grey-Black release. This pair has received a white base, covered by grey scales, and topped off with a black swoosh and matching black accents. There’s not much info on these yet, but stay tuned for more.

Kobe and the Lakers may be out of the playoffs, but the Nike Zoom Kobe lives on. Here’s a first look at the new Kobe VII model. This pair has been completely done in black, which makes it a bit difficult to make out the details, but as you can see, Nike has retained the low-top profile we’ve seen on the past couple of models. Hopefully we’ll get some better pictures of these soon.
