Nike Zoom Kobe V Shannon Brown Slam Dunk Contest PE

Despite the sub par dunks we witnessed in this year’s Dunk Contest, there was a few sneakers that commanded attention. Specifically, Gerald Wallace’s Jordan Icons, Nate Robinson’s Nike Air Max Hyperize and Shannon Brown’s Nike Zoom Kobe V iD sparked a few conversations during the contest. However, photos of Shannon Brown’s alternate Kobe V iD have surfaced on the web.

This particular Nike Zoom Kobe V iD was supposedly Brown’s sneaker choice had the online voting of his Kobe V iD not been chosen by the fans. It possesses a primarily silver/black base with a red inner lining and a blue Kobe logo on the tongue. To coincide with the latter feature, this shoe also owns a turquoise outsole and a blue midsole. Another interesting detail is the message on the insole which reads, “Throw it down, Shannon Brown.” Any Bill Walton fans out there? Click here to view more photos.
