INFO - ZOOM KOBE VI "LAKERS 3D"

I know, terrible timing after the Lakers beat the Warriors the other day, but I just had to rock these.  If you've read any of my other Kobe VI articles, you've read them all.  These of course feature a 3D-like pattern on the uppers.

ZOOM KOBE VI "LIGHTBULB"

Also known as the Tour Yellow, these shoes were actually part of the playoff pack but released some time after their white-based counterparts and apparently were ever so slightly more limited.  One way to flip these that I have seen is to do a red lace swap to make these like the "Bruce Lee" colorway of the VI.
YEAR OF RELEASE:  2011
STYLE CODE: 429659 700
MATERIALS: Similar to other Kobe VI's, with flywire and nubuck uppers.

INFO - ZOOM KOBE VI "HELICOPTER"

So, apparently Kobe Bryant has a helicopter.  This shoe is based off of the chopper's colorway.  These are also known as the Glass Blues and appear to be only slightly more limited than a general release ZKVI.  Remember to clean that sparkly clear sole after every wear to preserve the freshness of this shoe!

SNEAKER REVIEW -ZOOM KOBE VI "CONCORD CAMO"

Here we have the third "official" camoflage colorway of the ZK6.  The shoe gets its name from the colorway but is also known as the "Urban Camo" because it seems to resemble a city area in a certain way (as compared to the other camo colorways).

INFO - ZOOM KOBE VI "AVATAR"

If you've read my Kobe VI Italian Camo review, you'll see why I don't even need to do a full review here.  I've gone through a ton of Kobe VI's, and today we have the blue and volt version of the previously mentioned camouflage shoes.  This pair is just as comfortable as any other pair of 6's and the colors really pop on these; the "blood splatter" is volt as opposed to the crimson used on the Italian Camos.  If you wanted a pair of Lebron V2 "Sprite" Lows and missed out, these might make a good consolation prize

ZOOM KOBE VI "ITALIAN CAMO"

Kobe at one point had a small role in the Call of Duty: Black Ops video game commercials, and the result in terms of shoes is this pair of camoflaged VI's.  One detail of note are the small "blood" splatters located near the toebox and under the swoosh

ZOOM KOBE VI "GRADIENT"

What can I say, I can't get enough of the Kobe VI!  I'm pretty much digging every one that has come out and this is the latest of many reviews I've done on the shoe.  Here we have a general release that sports a fresh gradient colorway.

SNEAKER REVIEW - ZOOM KOBE VI "DRAFT DAY"

Now a yearly release, this colorway is based off of the uniform colors of the then-Charlotte based team that selected Kobe as their draft pick.  I've pretty much said all I care to say on the Kobe VI, as this is my fifth review on the shoe.  This is by no means a limited color makeup but is a definite good look if you are into the VI.
