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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. For example, the midfoot and side panels still possess the minuscule 3M dots, while the ever-so-popular hologram bubble is still on the heel panel. As stated earlier, this shoe will be available tomorrow at all Jordan retailers. Is this a definite purchase for you?
