We're out here in Los Angeles right now in the midst of the official media unveiling of the Nike Zoom Kobe V. The lightest Nike basketball shoe ever at just 10.6 ounces, the Zoom Kobe V is a low-profile lowcut that utilizes all the latest materials and technologies (the one-piece upper's Flywire panels are half the thickness -- and half the weight -- of those on the Zoom Kobe IV) to provide Kobe Bryant with everything he needs and nothing he doesn't. "I want to prove to kids that you can play basketball at the highest level in a low-top shoe," he says. They're scheduled to drop on Nike ID on December 26th, then globally in stores on January 16th. We'll have more later, but for now you can check out some exclusive photos of the shoe.
