In anticipation of what seems like will be the first Nike Zoom Kobe V to release, we showed you detailed pictures of the “Chaos” colorway dropping in December. But we’ve also had a very small preview of a pair of the Nike Zoom Kobe V that would be laced up during away games. Many have trouble seeing major differences between the Nike Zoom Kobe IV and V, however, a large part of what makes this “away” Kobe V different from its Kobe IV counterpart are the materials used. The Kobe V “away” boasts reflective reptile print in both black and purple, with a more evident Flywire finish on the mid-panel and even mesh on the upper heel. Check out the detailed pictures after the jump, and stay tuned for official release information as soon as it becomes available.

In July, we caught a few glimpses of the Nike Zoom Kobe IV “MVP” colorway. However, since then, it seems as though the Nike team felt Kobe’s achivements during the past basketball season needed to be celebrated in a slightly more exclusive way. To that extent, Nike created eight pairs of a special edition Zoom Kobe IV MVP that possesses slight alterations/additions. First off, the shoes come in a lasered suitcase equipped with medal of authenticity. Moreover, a set of wooden shoe trees have also been added, along with an extra Kobe logo towards the outer sides of the toe box. As we mentioned before, only eight of these super exclusive MVP Nike Zoom Kobe IVs were produced, so don’t get your hopes up at all.

Two weeks ago we informed our readers that the “Chaos,” one of the first colorways to release of the Nike Zoom Kobe V, would be dropping the day after Christmas of 2009. Although it seems as though all the hype behind the Kobe IV is only now starting to die down, Nike doesn’t seem like it wants to wait any longer, so it’s getting the ball rolling with the Kobe V just before the end of this year. If you’re still unsure about whether or not this pair is of your liking, pictures have surfaced on the internet that’ll allow you a closer look at all the detailing that went in to the Nike Zoom Kobe V “Chaos.” So enjoy the pictures after the jump, and use them to decide whether or not you’ll be purchasing these with all the Christmas money you get (or are left with after spoiling everyone else).

Mr. Four Rings is not a man who appears much on talk shows, but longtime friend and funny-man George Lopez just happened to be lucky to welcome the Black Mamba to his new talk show, Lopez Tonight. Kobe Bryant presented Lopez with his own pair of Chaos Nike Zoom Kobe V’s, while rocking a pair himself, along with a fresh Nike zipup. A lot of mixed feelings have been aimed at the fifth model of Kobe’s signature shoe, but seeing them in an actual shot, and on #24, is sure to have us thinking positively. Be sure to check out the interview here.

We’ve gotten looks at a PLETHORA of Nike Zoom Kobe IV colorways, but only a certain amount have been made available to the general public. Two pairs that sneakerheads seemed to really embrace were the home gradient and away gradient pairs. Today, we’re happy to report that these are now in stock at House of Hoops locations nationwide. For those of you far removed from one of those locations, Foot Locker accounts nationwide are also set to release both of these pairs as early as next week. Which pair, if any, would you cop?

The Nike Zoom Kobe V (5) will come in lowtop again this year, after the fantastic success of the 2008-’09 Zoom Kobe IV (4). This particular version pairs a gleaming white upper with a neon green Swoosh and outsole, and a venom purple middle and toecap. The V’s white midsole is speckled with a variety of colors, adding even more flavor to this gaudy shoe. Little is known about when this white/venom purple/neon green Zoom Kobe V (5) will hit stores, but we’ll keep you updated here when new information comes to light.

It was nearly a month ago that we brought you a very sneak peek at a pair of Nike Zoom Kobe IVs nicknamed the “4 Rings” as a result of the images of championship rings that are made a part of the shoe’s design. Now, we know that this Kobe IV will be made available at all stateside House of Hoops locations starting this Sunday November 1, 2009. If you’re already out celebrating Halloween, you might find that the best way to end the night will be to get on SOME line and wait for these bad boys to be a credit card swipe or cash drop away from your ownership. Happy hunting!
