14. Nike Kobe VII System

 

The Good: From a technical standpoint, the Kobe VII introduced modular cushioning and convertible support to the Black Mamba franchise. In regard to support, the Kobe VII may be the sturdiest shoe in the Kobe line, other than the first two models. It felt more capable for a bigger player in both low and wrapped-up form, offering versatility never seen in the series.

The Bad: While modular capabilities were a good idea in theory, it made for somewhat lackluster lockdown and a fit that leaned toward bulky or roomy depending on the system. The Kobe VII was certainly stiffer than previous pairs, an aspect that could prove pro or con depending on the wearer. In general, the concept was awesome but the execution and comfort wasn’t all the way there.
