A few seasons ago Kobe and Nike decided to create a ‘Low Top’ shoe to play basketball. Was based on soccer boots, Kobe's favorite sport, because according to the Laker’s guard, the movements of soccer players are some similar to basketball players. Nike technicians revealed the Kobe IV, a great ‘Low Top’ shoe. The last season they went even further in terms of quality with Kobe V, perfecting lightness failures that could have had in the previous model. This season has stunned the world with The Kobe VI.

Following the same line of ‘Low Tops’, but further enhancing the above benefits. Kobe's nickname 'Black Mamba' is a perfect 'excuse' to introducing the new material 'Snake Skin', which covers the entire shoe and gives greater lightness and strength than any other material.

Despite being ‘Low Top’, and as happened in the previous model, you don’t feel 'fear' of an ankle sprain while playing, That lack of protection in your ankle is supplemented with the same base in front of foot that gives stability and prevents the sprain, also thanks to this measure, you feel better traction when making any explosive movement. One of the things that draw more attention when playing with them is so light that they are; virtually, you don’t feel anything in the foot, and I could say that are even lighter than Hyperfuse or Hyperdunk 2008.

The Zoom Air heel unit perfectly fulfills its mission, but one of the things I would like to highlight is the material of the tongue and heel, which is composed of 'Mesh', which helps the low weight of the shoe and fits perfectly to the shape of the foot of each player. Due to the ‘Mesh’ of the heel, this model features a ‘TPU External Heel’, and I really feel like the heel will not move inside the shoe at the time of any explosives movements.

Without doubt we are facing one of the most advanced shoes in recent times, and very importantly, more versatile, as it not only features players Kobe can wears without any problems, less explosive players and heavier too, but not an ideal choice, can enjoy the 'Black Mambas'
