Stop the presses. Apparently the red-and-green Kobe VII that was previously identified as the ‘Christmas edition’ isn’t that at all, rather it’s the Nike Zoom Kobe VII ‘Year of the Dragon.’ This year’s Christmas-themed Kobe model will evidently use similar colors to the Xmas-exclusive Kobe V and Kobe VI; namely, green and/or purple (“and” in this case). The Nike Zoom Kobe VII ‘Christmas,’ release date as yet unannounced but expected in the coming weeks, sports a largely purple upper, contrasted with a neon green on the midsole, heel and ankle-booty. Borrowing a design concept from the leopard which appears on the shoe’s heel graphic, the upper features spots over most of the purple portions, likely identifying this as one of the “Predator Pack” Kobe VII’s. Hit the jump for one more look at the shoe and stick with NB for details as we get them. Photos via jsfigo.taobao.com
