Kobe Bryant is often criticized for mimicking Michael Jordan too often, and truthfully, he does handle himself like Mike in various ways. The ultimate competitor in sports, Jordan never quite let go of old grudges. We've all heard about MJ getting passed over for a spot on his high school varsity team as a sophomore at Laney High - and if you didn't, he made sure to throw a jab or two in the direction of old coach Pop Herring during his Hall of Fame Basketball speech. In similar fashion, Kobe and the Nike Basketball send out a yearly reminder to Charlotte and the old Hornets brass that he was wearing purple and teal during his first moments as an NBA pro, not purple and gold.
Tomorrow, Kobe's Zoom Kobe VI will be released in the always-popular "Draft Day" colorway. This year's shoe features a white snake-textured polyurethane upper with Charlotte's old purple and teal (photo blue on this pair) accenting the look. Black fills in the tongue and heel, while a white rubber outsole completes the look below.
You can pre-order a pair today at Eastbay or pick them up in person tomorrow.
Color: White/Varsity Purple-Photo Blue-Black
