Nort honors Kobe’s MVP Award
 Though the 29 year old Kobe Bryant has three rings, 10 trips to the All-Star Game, two scoring titles, he was awarded his first MVP award last night as he put up 34 points to put his team up 2-0 against the Utah Jazz.
To honor his achievement, Nort has produced a celebratory T-shirt for taking home MVP honors. Some of you may remember that two summers ago Stash and the Nort/Recon team were the people’s choice for their rendition of the Zoom Kobe 1. Now with all this attention circulating around Kobe, what better time for the premiumgoods x Kobe 1 to release (hint hint). |
Kobe Jumps Over Moving Car in Nike Hyperdunks
|
Just a few days ago Nike unveiled the Hyperdunk which is said to be the next generation in performance basketball shoes. The Hyperdunk will be worn by Kobe and other Team USA members this summer in Beijing if that torch can make it there unharmed. Yesterday Kobe posted a video that has become viral of him attempting to jump over a 50mph Aston Martin while wearing the Nike Hyperdunk. Many are speculating that a stunt double performed the actual jump, but you be the judge. I am quite confident that both Nike and the Lakers organization have a “no jumping over moving vehicles” clause in their contract with him. Picture of the shoes are posted after the jump. |
Nike Zoom Kobe 1 China Edition PE
| Life is pretty good for Kobe right now. Since the addition of Pau Gasol, the Lakers have climbed to the top of their division and now are tied for first in the West.
Across the Pacific, the Nike Zoom Kobe 1 has made a comeback released in a PE color up with his jersey number 24 stitched to the side as well. The White/Purple-Silver is a nice look especially with the clear sole, we’re holding out for the Premium Goods Kobe 1 (fingers crossed). Photos thanks to Kix Files. |

Adidas Crazy 8 III Samples
The third time was never a “charm” for Kobe nor is the number 3 lucky for him. The new Nike Kobe 3’s are anything but attractive, Adidas and Kobe parted ways before the Adidas Kobe III had the chance to release, and his first signature series with Adidas stopped after just three models ending with the KB8 III. Oh yeah, that blonde chick from Colorado, he took it to the hole in the summer of ‘03.
Adidas has been bringing back the Kobe and KB8 kicks for the past couple of years minus the images of Kobe while also replacing “Kobe” or “KB” with “Crazy” to keep Bryant’s agent happy and to avoid another lawsuit with Nike.
This time around Adidas is playing it safe with two Lakerish color ups. Just like the originals, Adidas made use of the Adiprene + cushioning and Feet You Wear technology (something they need to bring back for good).
The Crazy 8 III (aka KB8 III) was an important shoe for Kobe’s career as they were the shoes on his feet for his first NBA Championship in 2000 as well as when he went toe to toe with Chris Childs at the Garden. Sample shots leaked thanks to x-kicks.
Kobe III Lakers Edition
| The Kobe III will release in Lakers colors tomorrow, Saturday 12/22 at the House of Hoops in NYC. One can decide for themselves whether they like this or not, but you know things are bad when your shoes sell at the outlets for less than Shaq’s kicks at Payless… |  |
Nike Kobe III SL All White
| The Nike Zoom Kobe III already has a ton of haters despite the fact that the shoes haven’t even released yet. Besides the solid black colorup made for the court, Kobe will get an all white leather edition made for off the court - the Kobe III SL.
Look out for these in April, 2008. Pics thanks to TheSyndication. |
