The popularity of the “Pit Viper” Kobe 8 had us thinking about some of our favorite Black Mamba releases, and there probably isn’t a Kobe model we would like to see back on shelves more than the Nike Zoom Kobe V. Favored by many when it comes to Kobe’s Nike Air Max Thea UK signature line, the Kobe V looked great and performed better. The “Chaos” colorway, in particular, remains a speckled standout. With “chroma” options currently gaining steam on NIKEiD, the white and chameleon upper on these kicks would fit right in both on the street and the court. Bring ‘em back, Nike!Adding on to the legacy of the Tinker Hatfield-designed original, we get a first look at the Nike Air Huarache Brave Blue/Urban Orange. Going with a simple combination of the two title colors, brave blue takes up residence on the neoprene bootie, with urban orange filling in the plastic heel guard and tongue branding. As a base, charcoal black is seen on the textured panels offsetting the pops of color.
