Hello Kobe Fans,
I just wanted to share my thoughts and information regarding Kobe Bryant’s current shoe situation. We all know Kobe has his own line of shoes with Nike but what some of you may not know is that Kobe should be wearing his new Kobe Zoom 2 Lite shoes during the first half of this current 07-08 season but he is not. He wore the Zoom 2 Lite home version during the pre-season and because all of the pre-season games were home games he only got to wear the road version in practice. Instead of continuing to wear the Zoom Kobe 2 Lite on opening day he opted to wear a completely different kind of shoe that is not even from his line. Kobe went back to a shoe he wore three years ago before he had his own shoe, Nike’s 2K4 Laser Huarache and this is the shoe he is still continuing to wear. I have never heard of a star athlete of Kobe’s caliber virtually dissing his own line to wear a shoe that’s not even his own. The obvious question comes to mind why would he do this? The only reason I can assume is that in comparison the Zoom Kobe 2 Lite is a much heavier shoe then the Huarache 2K4.
Now for all you KB Shoe fans out there what this means is since Kobe stopped wearing the Zoom Kobe 2 Lite he instantly made his game model Zoom Kobe 2 Lite’s one of the rarest shoes in his line especially the all black road version. Now the store models are different then the game models, allow me to point out 2 major differences. Of course the game models have custom sample tagging and the most notable difference is Kobe’s 24 logo is lasered in gold on the side near the heel. My advice is if you see a pair of homes and especially roads jump all over it. I have managed to obtain 3 pairs of the Zoom Kobe 2 Lite for myself (1. Home dual signed pre-season worn, 2. Home Team Issued un-worn and 3. Road all black team issued). Below are pictures of Kobe wearing the Zoom Kobe 2 Lite’s during pre-season and Kobe wearing the all black roads during practice. The other pictures are of the game models home and road and a pic of the store models.
