As many of you may already know, Kobe Bryant was originally selected by the Charlotte Hornets in the 1996 NBA Draft, however he was traded right after. Have you ever wondered what Kobe’s shoes would have looked like had he stayed with the Hornets? Although I can’t speak for previous models, this new Kobe V colorway should give you an idea.

     This pair has a mostly white upper, complemented with a blue swoosh, outlined in purple. Blue has also been used for the outsole, and heel, along with a purple sockliner. Not word on the official release date for these, but I’ll keep you guys updated on this pair.
