Concord Kobe Bryant Footwear

The Nike Zoom Kobe VI was very first dropped in to the sneaker globe in late 2010. This shoe, the third model inside the hugely common Kobe Bryant signature sneaker line, was released as a low-cut basketball shoe. Although identical in cut, the Kobe VI was not identical in look to the prior Kobe's. The Kobe VI was released using a scaly snakeskin textured upper. The reptilian look on the shoe representated the "Black Mamba" completely. Lots of sneakerheads, like yours actually, have been pretty more bonuses skeptical. It seemed to us, that this new upper was merely a gimmick....or so we believed.

On the list of initial colorways the skeptical sneakerheads I run with saw drop, was dubbed "Concord". The upper was all white and featured a black Swoosh. The scaly texture of this upper really popped and several skeptics had been currently second guessing themselves. Additionally to the snakeskin textured upper, the shoe featured purple on the midsole, heel cage, inner lining, plus the Kobe logo. Pearl white leather was used on the tongue tip as well as the heel portion of your outsole. Just like the Kobe IV and Kobe V, Nike flywire was employed inside the building on the upper to supply ultimate lightweight stability that Kobe Bryant shoes have develop into renown for.

In the past, Nike has initially dropped a fairly tame, primarily a single colored model when releasing a Kobe Bryant shoe. This was the case together with the Kobe VI "Concord". Maybe this was performed to showcase the innovative technology that Nike continues to excel at. Or, maybe it is was performed to test the industry a get a sense of what colorways would sell. Regardless, it truly is secure to say that the Kobe VI "Concord" quieted the skeptics. And produced them believers within the method.

Immediately after the basic colorways that dropped in white, black, and purple; the Kobe VI preceded to assault our senses within a assortment of multi-colored uppers. Candy apple green, eggplant, bright orange, yellow, as well as a grey-mauve color were all featured on the upper in the shoe. As a former skeptic, I had to say that the scaly snakeskin under no circumstances looked so excellent! The "Grinch", "Chaos", "Sunset", and "China" editions of this Kobe shoe will go down in history as the most exceptional, inventive visual designs ever seen on a basketball shoe.

Colorways aside, what genuinely makes the Kobe VI on the list of very best Nike footwear for basketball is the technologies applied within the construction. The moldable upper, Flywire within the side panels, and Nike Air units in the forefoot and heel portions of your sole make this by far the most cushioned, lightweight, high performance low-cut basketball shoe on the market.

The Kobe VI was a fantastic addition to the line of Kobe Bryant footwear. I, like a big number of sneakerheads will admit to that now. I'm a true believer.

I've been an avid sneakerhead for 40 years. From running footwear to my accurate passion, basketball footwear, I own much more pairs of shoes than I can count. Nike, Adidas, Below Armour, and Reebok are dropping some pretty sick kicks at the moment. If you're like a sneakerhead like me, you actually cannot wait for tomorrow when news of a brand new sneaker drop will probably be announced.
