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.

Just this week we passed on to our followers word of the Nike Zoom Kobe V “Chaos” releasing right before the end of this year. Now, it is our pleasure to preview for you a different colorway of Kobe’s next signature sneaker installment from Nike. Pictured here is the Nike Zoom Kobe V in very classic Los Angeles Lakers “Away” colors of purple, black, and yellow. How do you feel this colorway compares to the “Chaos” pair? And what do you think about the actual sneaker design now that a less busy color palette has been applied to it?

Towards the end of last month, the SneakerFiles crew brought you word of a rather “chaotic” colorway execution on the Nike Zoom Kobe V. For those of you who liked that particular colorway, we would like to now report of a planned Foot Locker/House of Hoops release date of Saturday December 26, 2009 for these bad boys. With a white and red speckled midsole, lime green Nike swoosh and outsole, and chameleon upper, this shoe actually appears to sport navy blue or purple on the mid panels- depending on how the light reflects off of the shoe at different angles. How many of you have switched sides on this shoe and now either want to buy/pass up? We will update you with release information if anything new comes up.

On top of the “Chaos” Nike Zoom Kobe V we saw earlier today, images of two new upcoming colorways of Bryant’s latest signature sneaker have hit the web. In White/Black/Purple and Black/Varsity Maize, both color schemes have been featured on a majority of Kobe’s previous models –  and with good reason, the simple pallets often proving to create some of the most popular colorways. Expected to release either later this year or in early 2010, stay tuned for more detailed information to come.

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.
