Posted on December 8, 2011 by Jumpmankicks

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.
