Nike SB Koston 1 x Kobe Bryant QS Release Info

Remember that we reported on this collaboration back over a month or so ago? Well, the Staple Center in Cali is apparently not the only place you had to be to grab a pair. NIke SB is deciding to release a "unknown" amount of these to the general public at select NIke SB Quickstrike accounts. Check with your local skate shop to see if it's on the agenda. Apparently these should start hitting those stores over the next week or so.

Nike SB Koston One x Kobe Bryant

Tomorrow Eric Koston will release his 1st debut sneaker with Nike. This particular pair Eric team up with Kobe Bryant to make the upper similar to Kobe 6 sneaker. Not only will this sneaker be limited to only "24 pair" (Kobe Jersey #)but they will only release in the Nike Vault inside of the Staples Center. No exact word yet on how much these will cost exactly but we are sure the reseller prices will be through the roof. The Kobe Bryant x Nike SB Koston One comes with a custom humidor including signature Nike Eric Koston golf balls and a suede sleeper.

NIKE ZOOM KOBE VI “CAMO” KHAKI/OLIVE

Even thought the Lakers got swept from the playoffs does not mean that Kobe Bryant and team are taking any days off from his sneaker release. These are a switch up to the colors that were put out in the past by keep the color scheme real Call of Duty like! HA. Expect these khaki/olive color 6's to release one June 4th (same day as true blue 3's) for $130. We actually like what they did with this color mockup seeing as how we aren't huge fans of camo.

Nike Zoom Kobe VI FC Barcelona Pack (Euro Release Today)

No word yet on if these will release state side at all but over in the UK NikeStore and House of Hoops London did in fact release them today. The shoes appear to be an instant sell out over in Europe with pairs already hitting ebay in the upwards of $500 US. Keep it locked here to SSD for more information if these will hit the U.S.

Nike Zoom Kobe VI "Metallic Silver"

While the rest of the internet is calling these the "Cool Grey" Kobe 6's they are in fact metallic silver. Expect these to drop sometime within the next 30 to 45 days as the Lakers make their way through the playoffs and to the finals. HA. Peep the detailed shots below and let us know what you think. Clean colorway for the summer months.

NIKE ZOOM KOBE VI WHITE/CHLORINE-ORION BLUE

We kept trying to tell people that the Kobe 6 is killing it right when it comes to basketball sneakers. This color inspiration was taken from the Hornets-esque colorways but not technically the "draft day" sneaker as some would put it. The sneaker will release on May 26th for $130. Just yet another color to add to the Kobe 6 arsenal. Thoughts?

Nike Zoom Kobe VI (6) 3D

So the Kobe 3D/Hollywood released today online @nike.com and at select niketown accounts. There were a ton of angry Kobe heads last night/this morning due to the fact that online sold out within seconds....not minutes...seconds. This only leads us to believe that the rumored 400+ pair were not too far off. Retail on them was $135 and DID NOT come with 3D glasses. Were you able to grab your pair???

Just as we got done reporting on the Adidas crazy 8 we now see a all yellow mock up color done up for All Star weekend for the skills challenge. Dwight Howard and D.Rose also have their own color way for the East as well. . In addition to these two main pieces, adidas is set to release the adiPure in three colorways, Yellow, Blue, and Red. Expect to see these pop up in select retailers within the next week or so. I would imagine that some of these might even be on some Rookies/Sophomore game and the other skill set challenges they might have going on.

adidas Crazy 8 Returns in 2011

Everybody seems to be reaching back into the past with bringing out their heat that had the brand living the glory days. Adidas will bring back the "Crazy" within the up in coming months. For those of you too young to remember this use to be Kobe Bryant signature shoe before Adidas dropped him from the brand. They then brought them back out in 2005 and gave it the crazy 8 nick name...subliminal hit maybe? Who knows...what we do know is that they were dope back then and wonder how todays crowd are going to except these with so much more stuff releasing this year. As always..your comments at below are always welcomed.

Nike Zoom Kobe VI (6) OC

Yet another Kobe color that will be hitting the market shortly. Inspired by the OC, or, Orange County, the OC Nike Zoom Kobe VI features a bright Orange gradient upper with a Grey Swoosh, a Black heel, a Black midsole, and a Grey translucent outsole. We pretty much lost count at the amount of Kobe 6's that are currently out and the ones that are still to come. LOL. Thoughts?

THE BLACK HISTORY MONTH 2011 COLLECTION
This collection of footwear and apparel celebrates pioneering athletes Kobe Bryant, Julius “Dr. J” Erving, and Michael Jordan who each made major impacts on their sport both on and off the court. It is inspired by their amazing careers and the iconic moments that altered the course of sports history. For Kobe, besides his championships, it was in ’06 when he scored 81 points in a single game. For Erving, that moment was unifying the ABA and NBA ushering in a new era of offense with his foul line dunk during the ‘76 ABA All-Star Dunk Contest, and his “Rock the Baby” dunk during the ’83 NBA championships. For Jordan, in addition to winning six championships, it was winning the ’87 Slam Dunk title with flair that inspired kids everywhere. To symbolize their legacies, the collection highlights:
* Modern Gold to represent all three pioneers’ championship call to greatness.
* Historic Black to recall the black Converse Chuck Taylor All Star sneakers commonly worn by basketball pioneers in the 1960s; bestowing black sneakers with a magical aura.
* Black African-American Handcraft to celebrate classic African-American art.
Other highlights include four limited-edition iconic footwear models: the Nike Zoom Kobe VI, Air Force 1, Air Jordan III, and Converse Star Player, along with the NSW Destroyer jacket and NSW Dri-FIT tee.
The collection will not be available on Nike.com, but rather with Nike retailers nationwide. If you have posted this fact, removing that piece would be greatly appreciated.
