Nike Zoom Kobe VII Supreme Release Info

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.
