The NBA season may be almost over, but Nike isn’t ready to call it quits with the Kobe Vs just yet. Take a look at the latest colorway to pop up on the net. This pair has a indigo ink-colored upper, which greatly resembles the color on the Eggplant Foamposites. The sneaker is finished off with a silver swoosh and black midsole. This pair is just a sample, but I’m hoping Kobe debuts these in the finals. No word yet on if they will receive a public release, but you can cop these size 9 samples now on ebay.
