The sixth numbered shoe from Kobe Bryant updates a bit from the Kobe V. With scales added to the flywire upper to further reflect the "mamba" motif, the shoes are both fresh on foot and light on the court. Both the V and the VI have a "Duke" edition which get their
name from the similarity in color to the uniform for the Duke Blue
Devils. In terms of big "what ifs", it's been said the Kobe might have gone to Duke University instead of directly to the NBA if offered a scholarship.
