Nike Zoom Kobe V – Detailed Shots

Nike Zoom Kobe V  Detailed Shots
A couple of days ago we showed you the Unveiling of the Nike Zoom Kobe V’s and now here we are going to take a closer and more detailed look at the sneaker. Not only does this sneaker weigh a mere 10.6 ounces but due to the materials used and how they are put together its more durable then a lot of other, bigger and heavier, basketball shoes. So if you’re looking for light weight and performance, keep reading.
One feature of these that had people talking was how low cut the sneaker was made. Well they didn’t do it just for style. Kobe spent some years watching soccer and wondered how is it that they can do the things they, do with their low cut sneakers, and not get ankle injuries. So research was done and he had them cut down the size while maintaining the same support as a high top basketball shoe. This is definitely one of the top basketball shoes to have and below you can check out many detailed shots on the sneaker. Also now that you get a closer look, let us know what you think.

Jordan Flight 45 – Black/Red

Jordan Flight 45 8211 BlackRed
Fusions and hybrids, two type of sneakers many people contemplate about. On the one hand people like how its new and original but on the other hand people don’t like the exterior, the colorway, or the mesh of two sneakers. We also have the trouble of picking a side but maybe these hybrids will change some of your mind.
Jordan Brand has just given us a look at their Jordan Flight 45. The sneaker as we stated before is a hybrid, so the model is very unusual from what we’re used to seeing. Inspired by the Air Jordan 3 and Air Jordan 12, these low cut sneakers feature a black upper, along with red accents. The heel patch of the sneaker resembles the Air Jordan 3 while the side-panel looks identical to the Air Jordan 12. Finally to add a final touch to the sneaker Jordan Brand decided to add a strap. Available at Schuh-You.

About a year back or so we saw the first dog model made from sneakers created. Well here we have two more models but this time with different sneakers used. The first dog is composed of Air Max’s while the second one is made up of Air Jordan V’s. I hate to see sneakers torn up like that but at least he created an amazing design with them.
For the Air Max dog multiple colorways of the Air Max’s where used but for the Jordan V dog only the white red and black colorway was used. You can check out the rest of the detailed shots below and let us know what you think. If you want to see more on Vinti Andrews you can check out his website HERE.

Nike Hypermax Emeka Okafor PEs

Since coming to New Orleans, Emeka Okafor has performed pretty well for himself, as he averages a double-double. The Hornets have struggled, but Emeka can be thankful he’s got Chris Paul as a running mate.
For the beginning of the 2009-2010 season, Okafor has been seen wearing the Nike Hyperize, and now we get a closer look at two of his PEs. The shoes’ soles are almost identical to one another, with the exception of the heel on the “Away” pair being black and not purple, as it is on the “Home” pair. That white pair features purple accents throughout its upper, and utilizes Flywire in white with teal threading. The other pair compliments its black leather with matching Flywire and a purple liner and tongue. Check for Emeka to wear these the next time he’s featured in Kicks On Court.

Release Reminder Air Jordan Fusion 13 BlackVarsity RedWhite

Tomorrow, December 12th, 2009, Jordan Brand will unleash the second and final Air Jordan Fusion 13. Does this colorway interest you more than the Air Jordan Fusion 13 White/Black-Varsity Red that released at the end of November?
This Air Jordan Fusion 13 obviously borrows its colorway from the infamous Air Jordan XIII Black/Varsity Red-White that released in 1997. This Fusion also owns other, distinctive elements that made the Air Jordan XIII special.
