With new milestones met, and both feet firmly in place in Los Angeles lore, Kobe plays his most meaningful All-Star game, in the comfort of his own home. The Kobe VI Prelude pays homage to his award-winning weekend performance with art inspired from the walls of Venice Beach.
Nike took to their official site to provide a release reminder as well details for the upcoming Nike Kobe Prelude VI “All-Star MVP” which the colorway is Cannon/Volt-Purple Venom-Turf Orange-Neo Turquoise. Us over at DefPenRadio decided to relay the message to you guys and find out if these will be a DEF cop or DEF not.
Inspired by Kobe Bryant’s on-court alter ego, the black mamba snake, the Kobe VI featured key performance benefits blended with an upper mimicking snake scales when it debuted in 2010.
The shoe’s upper includes distinct polyurethane “islands” that emulate a snake’s skin and increase or decrease in size throughout the shoe to protect against abrasion and increase durability exactly where needed.
Celebrating Bryant’s 2011 All-Star MVP award won on his home court, the Kobe Prelude VI pays homage to Los Angeles and its surf and skate culture. Featured in the shoe’s artistic collage are stars, sharks, and other sea wildlife paying homage to Southern California. There’s also an black mamba featured on the forefoot.
The Kobe Prelude VI will be available on Saturday, Jan. 11.
