This Zoom Kobe V in Black/Dark Grey/Varsity Purple will hit footlocker.com and Foot Locker stores in July.

Kobe has his hands full with the young Oklahoma City squad right now; the series is tied but lucky for Mamba the Lakers are heading home. Could KD & Co. spoil a potential Kobe vs. LeBron Finals before the first round is even over…?

Even if his playoff life gets cut short, Kobe’s ground-breaking signature shoe will keep on rolling this summer with this new “blacked-out” colorway. The upper is black with dark grey piecing around the toebox and laces. Dark grey also hilights the Swoosh and Kobe logo on the tongue. Light touches of varsity purple pop off Kobe’s signature on the heel, and on the heel and forefoot of the outsole.
