This was one of the last colorways of the ZKV to release. Because they came out in stores just a little while before the Kobe VI hit, they were among a group of V's to hit discount racks quickly, as space was cleared out for the new model. That shouldn't jade one's thoughts of this shoe though, which is in my opinion one of the best colorways to release in the ZKV.
MATERIALS: Typical of V's, the uppers are all strange materials covering a flywire skeleton. The toebox and panel around the swoosh appear to be a shiny type leather while the area around the toebox and eyelets are more of a reflective material although I hesitate to say it's 3M. The midsole is black with a translucent purple sole that has black and silver accents. These come black laces.
FEATURES: There are no special features with these 5s.
STREET VALUE: retail
MY NOTES ON ACTUALLY WEARING THESE: These fit snug but are very comfortable! They will probably crease after a few wears. Like most newer Kobes, avoid scuffing the shoe and these should stay fresh easily with a quick wipe off after wearing. These can even take a bit of rain and stay clean! The shoes make for great winter wear given the dark colors but can really be sported any time of year with a dark top.
