Nike Zoom Kobe VII System Supreme Redefines High Performance Hoop Shoes

— December 9, 2011 — Fashion
For those looking for a new pair of basketball sneakers, look no further because the Nike Zoom Kobe VII System Supreme is the one you want.

The Nike Zoom Kobe VII System Supreme is Kobe Bryant's new signature shoe built for high-performance. The upper simulates the patterns of three predators that speaks to Bryant's intensity on the court: the Leopard, Great White Shark and Black Mamba. This brings a unique textured look that's original and fresh. The highlight of the sneakers are the interchangeable cushions that bring two modes of performance: Attack Fast and Attack Strong. According to Freshnessmag, the former has a "Phylon midsole with Nike Zoom units in the forefoot and heel," that brings a lighter weight for speed enhancement. The latter is designed with durable support complete with Flywire technology and a 3-D heel brace that adapts to intense plays.

This is definitely the sneaker to look out for.
