Nike Zoom Kobe VI | Detailed Preview
Here are a couple more looks at Kobe Bryant’s next Nike signature shoe, the Nike Zoom Kobe VI. The shoe, starting to look better with every new preview, features a snakeskin textured upper, Zoom Air in the heel and forefoot, and sculpted phylon midsole. And under the cut, check out a close up of the toes, which feature the word “venomenon” on each, presumably a portmanteau of phenomenon and venom.
UPDATE: New preview and Zoom Kobe VI release date available here.



The Nike Zoom Kobe VI shoes are whack. You’d have to pay me serious money to wear those shoes.
No lie… They are kinda weird looking.. But I’m hoping that it grows on me cuz I’m GETTIN EM!!! Lol.. The black ones look waaaaay better. I had the IV’s and the V’s in white. Time for a change.
I like them!! these looks light and sleek just like the IVs and Vs. and it’s been proven that those are selling like hot cakes.
Jason, keep on dreaming, no one’s going to pay you to wear anything. especially not these shoes. mark my words, they won’t even be on sale!!
U BOOBOO Jason
These shoes look mean! I’d definitely rock these. If these shoes are like Kobe 4 and 5′s, these will sell at #1 like Kobe’s shoes always do. Jason, why the hell would someone pay you to wear them?! That’s just stupid. For ballers that actually know/play basketball, and care about shoe quality and performance (unlike poser Jason), get these shoes!!
i like the snakeskin texture ,making it look more expensive. the question is how much…he he
Weird looking shoes…KB24 needs to come out with something better!
Nice shoe. I still worry about ankle support with low tops
when will these shoes come out? i want em now
@blane: No official word yet, but I’d put it at mid-December/early-January +/- a couple weeks.
nice
please give kobe his own shoe box design!!!
nice
these look amazing to ball in. the big plate in the back looks like it will give lots of support, and it looks like they got rid of flywire and got this new mesh upper. looks super flexible. The ankle looks a lot more cushioned than the ZKVs.
I’m pretty sure these will come out next month, because kobe will definitely be wearing them this season.
[...] preview and round of pictures, we’ve now got an official Nike Zoom Kobe VI release date. Kobe’s sixth signature features a lowtop cut, textured snakeskin over the upper, a phylon midsole and a molded external [...]
these are fakes…
@ Peter: Don’t know which ones you are talking about, but no, they’re real.
Well these shoes are the ugliest pairs of kobes I’ve seen! Not a big fan of the snake skin texture one bit! But kobes shoes are always my most comfortable! Look forward to buying them
this sucks…
KD III and Lebron 8 shoes are awesome
I have the IV and V. I am already excited about getting the VI, I hope this one tops the previous two in terms of performance.
first of all they don’t look like “snake skin” as the black mamba would imply…. they look more like cracked cheap leather or something… NIKE should do a better job of making it look like the skin of a snake…. Sorry but the IV’s and V’s look a lot better than this..
[...] shoe from Beef’s main line of signature footwear. That of course proved incorrect when the actual Zoom Kobe VI popped up, but now we see those summer-leaked shoes again, with the knowledge that they are in fact the Nike [...]
the iv and v were nice, i got about 3 pairs of the v’s in different colors and they are soooooooooooo comfortable, i cant wait for these to come up, hope they got it going on like the others
The way Kobe’s is palying…PRICE should drop.
how much are the Nike Zoom Kobe VI ? where can i get them
@Kiki: Most are $130. You can get them pretty much anywhere that sells basketball shoes–Foot Locker, Footaction, Champs, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Finish Line, NikeTown, etc. Or the websites of those places, as well as Eastbay.com and NikeStore.com.
Bought em, love em.
