Although he had to sit out this past weekend’s All Star Game due to injury, Kobe’s game should be coming on strong in the second half of the season, with the Lakers looking like the power-house in the West. His sneaker game is going just as hard, with the Zoom Kobe V Home (white/del sol/grey/varsity purple) arriving at Foot Locker and footlocker.com in April.


The lightest, lowest shoe in the game gets another color update, with a pearl-like finish on the upper. If you catch it at the right light you get a multi-colored reflection. The rest of the upper is neutral grey, with del sol popping off the colloar, Swoosh, and Kobe logo on the tongue. The midsole is white and purple, as is the outsole which includes touches of del sol as well.
