Basketball season is in full swing, which means it's time for another round of signature sneakers. Near the top of the list is the Nike Zoom Kobe VI ($TBA), the latest shoe designed especially for the Lakers' star shooting guard. Carrying on the "Black Mamba" obsession from earlier models, the VI features Mamba-inspired patterns on the cast urethane outer shell and solid rubber outsole, Zoom Air units in the heel and forefoot, a low-cut profile, sculpted dual-density sockliner, a three-layer Flywire package to maximize support while reducing weight down to a paltry 10.6 ounces, and an injected TPU heel counter to provide a better fit, which you'll need if you plan to avoid ridicule when wearing these to your local pick-up game.
