Nike Zoom Kobe VII – Release Dates and Pricing

Posted on October 20, 2011 by Jumpmankicks

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.

Nike Zoom Kobe VII Supreme

Style: 488244-001

Rare Air: Nike Air Foamposite One – “White Out” Penny Hardaway Player Exclusives

Posted on October 18, 2011 by Jumpmankicks

He may not be in the League anymore, but Penny is still a big enough player in the sneaker game to get his own player exclusive colorways. Ordered up for Penny by Nike Sportswear’s design lead, Marc Dolce, this special pair has an all-white upper, from top to bottom, with the exception of the icy clear sole. Apparently Penny is a big fan of all-white shoes, so this is the perfect pair for him. He wore these while judging a Slam Dunk contest, held at the University of Memphis’ “Memphis Madness” event on 10/15. Unfortunately, they are one of a kind. In other words, unless you can pry them off Penny’s size 14 feet, you’re not getting a pair. From SC.

While not widely known, some of you may be aware that back in 1992, customized Air Jordan VIs were used to create Batman’s boots in Batman Returns, the second film to feature Michael Keaton as the Caped Crusader.

The sole finishes the sneaker off with a combination of black and charcoal. This pair is a one-off, but if you’re skilled enough to create your own pair, there’s plenty of Oreo Air Jordan VIs on eBay to get you started.
