Black Mamba Sighting at Nike Beijing

755 days ago - by George Kiel III - 28 comments

Kobe Bryant is one of the biggest icons in Asia basketball-wise. Besides Michael Jordan, there has never been a bigger basketball influence to date. Niketown in Beijing is paying tribute to Kobe Bryant and the release of the Nike Zoom Kobe V with an actual, enlarged Black Mamba snake figurine.

The snake sits in the middle of the store and looks as if it is attacking something (a deconstructed Nike Zoom Kobe V also sits next to this gigantic snake). We must applaud Nike Beijing for being creative with hits newly-designed store. Click here to view additional photos.

The lebron air max`s are the badest basket ball shoe since the pennys.
Kobe needs to step it up now.

SantoGold – Slow your roll… First of all it’s 4 champs not 3 and in case you haven’t seen a game in awhile Kobe’s now 24 not 8…
Try and keep up.

Where lebron @ n china…NOWHERE haha!!! Kobe’s a beast but on the real D Wade & Melo does get slept on alot. Those VII’s r garbage on the curb. I got fooled for real for buyin those..if ur a 1 or a 2 guard..dont waste ur time tryna ball n those cement block ass shoes lol!

Anyone who seriously thinks lebron is better than kobe is on something. Lebron gots nothing buts stats and MVP Kobe got stats mvps and RINGS. Even wade is shinning on lebron with his ring haha

Lebron VII > Kobe 5…. It’s just like kobe 4′s and I liked the KB 4′s…
KB 5′s looks like a much cheaper verison of the kobe 4′s but lets see….
Innovation is key and the kobe 5′s have not really changed much..
I would still go for the lebron VII’s…
steven
congrats to kobe..finally..dey should do dis in nyc mannn

@roadkillkitty I guess you feel comfortable wearing tanks. You must be fat. And LB VII have zero innovation, the midsole was used first in the Air MAx and the flywire has been used since 2008. Wanna talk about innovation? Kobe V’s are groundbreaking. Low cut, and the lightest ever.
Kobe>LeBron as usual

all I know is Lebron got nothing but MVP, no rings and probably will never have one… and man are you guys on crack? Lebron VII is wack… I don’t think the so called King is comparable to the black mamba… maybe I’ll be more please with Wade… well thats just me…

Kobe got the ring cuz of his all star teammates you fool. His teammates like Ariza, Gasol, Bynum, Fisher etc saved his ass in the playoffs. Go watch the games again since you seem to have amnesia. Imagine if Lebron is on the Lakers instead of Kobe. The Lakers gonna win like 3 champs in a row without a doubt. The dirty player aka the 45fg% shot jacker can kiss my ass and Lebron all day. Kobe the luckiest player of all time. The most overrated by his 13yr old fans period.
FOOT BALLER…
BLACK MAMBAS ARE GREY IN COLOR…

“Kobe got a ring b’cuz of his teamates” SHUTUP! and grow up, we are talking about basketball here. I think you should understand that this sports is made for team and not for a one man show… what a crybaby, why am I even going down to your level… regardless, kobe V is great!… again screw your brain back up before responding to any comment.

Y everyone hating on the Kobe Vs and Lebron VII. Imma Lebron fan but damn they both are two different shoe and they both have there good points. In general they are both greats shoes.
NBA4life
ahahaha what an idiot. you said the sport is worked as a team and insisted lebron isn’t comparable to kobe becuz of the ring?LOL. Are you fukin retarded? so basically kobe is better than bron cuz he got better teammates ROFL. why don’t you just shut ur mouth, open ur eyes, stop smokin and get your mind straight kiddo. lebron better athlete, better leader, better shooter, better 3pointer, better defender, better passer, better rebounder etc lol. bron excels kobe in every aspect kid. facts mofo get off of your fantacy land.
NBAfourLIFE
NBA4life… i’m a fan of both. you’re an idiot. i’m not taking sides but for you to say that about kobe you must not watch a lot of basketball…
greenmaker24
