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.
