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!

Just three days ago we gave you the first look at the fifth installment of Kobe Bryant’s signature sneaker line with Nike. People have wasted no time getting there hands on some shots of several different colorways of the Nike Zoom Kobe V slated to release at some point in the future. Of course, you had to expect some more Los Angeles Lakers colors and, since it looked so well on the IV, maybe a clean white/teel colorway as well. But check in with us after the jump for more colorway previews including one that the Chinese olympic team could probably wear and even one that the American team could. Let us know which colorways you are feeling the most.

It was a couple months back when we saw a first look at the Nike Zoom Kobe V as a sample. This time, we’ve discovered a preview of the Nike Zoom Kobe V in its final form. The Nike Zoom Kobe V (5) comes in five different colorways, but still carries on the lowtop form that Kobe loves on the Nike Zoom Kobe IV. The model still carries the Black Mamba’s signature at the heel, with his Nike logo at the tongue. The toe features a faux snakeskin design and a diamond pattern at the heel to give the shoe some style. The Zoom sole should make this, along with the hidden Flywire, a great choice for the court. Stay tuned for a strong wave of releases for Kobe’s latest sig shoe.

With the Nike Zoom Kobe IV’s, it seems as though we keep feeling them, and Nike keeps making them. Just a few days ago we got a look at the “Gradient Lakers” Kobe IV’s. Well- u guessed it- they’re back. This time, the Gradient Lakers pair comes in a colorway that’s supposedly to be worn during home games. Because home teams usually go with their white jerseys, this Nike Zoom Kobe IV, in turn, sports white where the first pair of Gradient Lakers IV’s we saw sported black. With this one difference, which alters a large portion of the shoe, which one is the better of the two “Gradient Lakers” Kobe IV’s to you?

We last saw Seattle Storm superstar Sue Bird with her own Livestrong x Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier 3’s on her feet. This time, she has her own player exclusive of the Livestrong x Nike Zoom Kobe IV (4). This Nike ZK4 features the same design as the LS3, with a full yellow patent leather upper and black accents on the printed Flywire swoosh, Livestrong insignia on the side, Kobe tongue tag, and outsole. This pair of Kobe’s definitely makes our jaws drop, as it can’t help but stand out anywhere. Too bad these won’t see the light of retail day, as the lucky ones like Sue Bird are the only ones who will get their hands on them as far as we know.

If it isn’t clear by now it should be- Nike has no intentions of slowing down the Nike Zoom Kobe IV colorways. We’ve seen everything from Olympics-inspired colorways to colorways that commemorate high school powerhouses. Now, we get a look at the newest installment of the Nike Zoom Kobe IV- the “4 rings.” Obviously, this pair plays off of Kobe Bryant’s incredible accomplishment of acquiring four NBA championship rings- all with the Los Angeles Lakers. To that effect, this pair of Kobe IV’s comes in a gradient L.A. Lakers color-up. But if you look inside the tongues of each shoe you can find the caricature of a puppet hand belonging to the Kobe Bryant puppet we saw on all those Nike commercials during the playoffs going one-on-one with Lebron’s puppet. Are these now among the best Nike Zoom Kobe IV’s? Let us know what you think.
