Let’s begin again! It’s been a week and of course news of a new Kobe VI colorway dropping is here. Unfortunately, the news is very familiar to news of Kobe VI releases of the past. The most recent Kobe kicks are going to be a limited release. Really? What a surprise! Not just limited, but you could probably say uber limited. And when I say uber, I mean uber. The new Kobe VI is appropriately dubbed ” Nike Vault 1-Year Anniversary” and it is restricted to 24 pairs. Uber enough for you?
The Nike Vault is situated in the Staple Center in downtown Los Angeles and it has been the place to find limited releases of Kobe Bryant shoes nike mercurial superfly for the last year now. Well, this Kobe VI might be the most limited in number within the good reputation for Kobe’s signature sneaker line. That one is epic people.
The Nike Vault 1-Year Anniversary Kobe VI utilizes a black snakeskin textured upper that features a metallic gold Swoosh. The midsole uses white and black and combines it with a metallic gold speckle coloring that makes the shoe pop. Silver can be used around the heel cup as the within the shoe’s tongue are covered inside a metallic gold color and contain special graphics. The outsole utilizes a translucent blue-tinted color to finish the shoe off. Wait, we are not done. Most importantly off, this shoe will come in special packaging. A unique metal box will be used to deliver this beauty towards the lucky few sneakerheads that can get hold of them.
No release date has been set yet for this new pair of Nike Zoom Kobe VI’s. But does it really matter when that date is when a whopping 24 pairs will be released? Case another example of Nike doing what they do. And what they appear to do with the dopest pairs of Kobe’s is make it virtually impossible for sneakerheads to get a pair. Does any of this make sense? A few of the shoes in the Nike Vault 1-Year Anniversary will actually end up in the hands of true sneaker nike magista obra fanatics. However, you will see pairs that will be sold online for 4 times the original price.
This upcoming Kobe release is really a legendary signature sneaker. There’s nothing wrong with limiting this type of special shoe. But to 24 pairs? Seriously Nike! Kobe Bryant footwear is one of the better basketball shoes on the market. Unfotunately the Nike Vault 1-Anniversary Kobe VI won’t even make it happen. Which is actually a crying shame. Yes, I’ll really be crying if, so when,I don’t obtain a pair.
