In Game of Death, Bruce Lee dons a yellow and black jumpsuit as he goes head-to-head with center-turned-actor Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Ironically enough, for this Nike Zoom Kobe V, a younger Lakers legend has joined sides with the colorway. And because this shoe will release at House of Hoops this weekend, both Lee and Lakers fans can shoe some love. As mentioned above, the color scheme was borrowed from a classic Bruce Lee movie, which explains why the midfoot, forefoot, outsole and heel are all done in black. Complimenting them are the toe box and mid-panel, which use a bright yellow hue. Finally, red accents are used on the heel and tongue, as well as the 4 slash marks on the forefoot–another nod to the famous actor (Lee is scratched with a 4-blade weapon in Enter the Dragon). |
