With the Nike Zoom Kobe IV (4) almost at the end of its retail reign, we now have our first detailed look at a Nike Zoom Kobe 5 (V) Sample. Nike decided to go with a low-cut design again, but there are definitely many differences between the ZK4 and the upcoming ZK5. The ZK5 will feature a full length Zoom cushioning to increase comfort and a full mesh tongue to increase breathability. This pair hosts a black upper accented by purple laces, a white swoosh, and what appears to be flywire technology on the side panels. Bryant’s logo and signature appear on the tongue and heel, respectively. Please note that changes will most likely be made before the Nike Zoom Kobe 5 (V) is eventually released later this year.

look like track shoes
hey i understand that these r samples not official, but u have to do something outstanding to wow me on a low top shoe, if this was the acctual release i would dissapointed.and i understand that now shoes r all about performance, but that shouldnt hender the look and creativity of that shoe. and that goes for the kd2's too.
These better perform well. haha. They look like a pair of classic nike's. I liked the ZK4's more to be honest…
dese craps lok like friking soccer kiks
Read elsewhere that this is ONLY a hybrid not the shoe, thank goodness
Lovin the five dots on the back. For those of you that know what that means.
Look like some baseball cleats. Kobe is the man and Nike hooks him up with the wackest shoes. Nike needs a complete overhaul. All of their new sneakers are disgusting.
This is not it…Not even close…
<ILovin the five dots on the back. For those of you that know what that means.</i>
the 5 dots are cause it's the Zoom Kobe 5.
Don't be smoking like it represents the fifth ring he's gonna get next season cause that isn't what it stands for.
They look like Steve Nash shoes (which isn't a bad thing).
How 'bout Kobe just retires from the NBA and joins MLS already if he wants to wear soccer shoes in sports competition so badly?
These look like some bootlegass zk4's. Kobe deserves better, and if the shoe doesn't work out atleast he has good commercials.
I guess we all forget that Kobe has to "O.K." the shoes before any samples are made.
Shoes are made for him and what he wants. Not what everyone else wants him to have.
4 steps fordward 5 steps back
these are not them
Ewww KOBE NOO!!!!!
I think this will be called as "**** Dems"!!!
these look so cheap and ridiculous it's not even funny. i hope this is a joke or a realy early sample. they better have redesigned and changed the whole shoe!!!!
I think this will be called "C.R.A.P DEMS"!!
Oh you cannot be serious! Kobe is designing these? I know it's a sample, but if the final product look anyway like it, I am passing on these!
Wat Tha ****…Kobe *** feelin his self 2 much these r ***** horrible !No
mane why they doin my boi Kobe like this lol
yeah, that's what all you fools said about the 4's. They were ****, they were ugly, "pass"…..then you all ate your words and they flew off the shelves and became classics. So shut the f#@& up!!
THATS NOT THEM I WORK AT NIKE I SEEN THE REAL ONES THERE FULL FLYWIRE AND THESE ARE A TEST SAMPLE THE REAL ONES DO NOT HAVE THE PULL TAB AT THE BACK
If this is the sample. There is minimal hope for the final product. After all this being said I'm an Idiot I'll still end up with them in 1/2 the colorways!
no way…..looks like soccer shoes or something..
these look an awful lot like low cut hyperdunks with leather for the entire upper. and the five dots aren't for a fifth ring or cause its the kobe five, it's because it's an alpha project shoe.
yeah those five dots don't mean the championships [or the one more he has to go to get five]. nike puts five dots on a sneaker to show that the shoe was made once and never edited [seen on a old nike shox basketball shoe]. i hope this is not the case; these look like soccer cleats without the cleats.
these suck balls
if the guy from da nike said watwas da truth the real shoe better be tight sikeeeee nachoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo its ok to wear stretchy pants
dese shoes suck nachooooooooooooooooooo
nah im jus messin kobe will bak dis sheeze up
WAY TO BLAND
they need to add some of tat mamba flavor
these look like wat u find at marshalls -_-
there missing what kobes r known for
SHARP looking
cutting edge u could say
Zoom Kobe V !?
Are you kidding ?
Football shoes or Basketball shoes ?
I hope they can come up with a better final design. Everybody hated the ZK4 when they first released. Now everyone wants one!! Cant wait for the final design and i know it will grow on me…. KOBE U LEGEND!!!
Yeah, the 5 dots are the Alpha Project logo. Fitting since dude is the Alpha-Male of the NBA at the moment. Kobe is that dude, and deserves the best performance sneaker out there, since he's performing the best. I got $250 sitting aside right now to cop 2 pair of these whenever they come out.
it really really not fit the black mamba.
pls nike.u can do way better..
kbiv's are WAAAAYYYYYY better. don't mess up with the v. hope this is not it. btw, the lebron vii is looking better. don't let it happen kobe.
The outside are ugly like ***, looks decent in the inside
thats kb 5 sample?a training shoe?hahahah
I don't think they're the real shoes !!
These are alright i would hoop in these the zoom 4 and 2 's are the best so far.
no one will wear them. it's for the wbna shoe, it's not a men shoe. is kobe ***?
i have two zoom IVs and i think they are much better than the samples, i really wish and PRAY to god the release aint like this. Kobe even said at his singapore tour that he love the next one coming out which is the five, then i think he got some bad taste man
請問這是zoom kobe v嗎 那麼快就設計好了
total disappointment compared to the Kobe (IV), worst kobe design ever! hope it stays as a sample, a failed one.
these are not them, I got mine from LAINEOUTLET.COM last week and they are 100% authentic and they come in a few colors…check it out!
Loved the 4's… But these??? Yuck. Hope the Nike dude is saying facts. I don't like Lebron but his 7's are hot
These shoes need a major improvement they look like indoor soccer shoes
day luk lyk slip'rz a lil day mus b realy lght bt n-uda classic kobe sneak!!!
MMMMMMMMM. look a bit like soccer shoes, i recon the IV was much better looking shoe
