29 January 2010.. 3:45pm

I know this is my food blog n all but I did say that often I will post picture of things other than food that are of interest to me.

JUST DO IT:
 
Nike Zoom KOBE V's aka The Dark Knights
BLACK/BLACK-DARK GREY-NPTN BL
I was very fortunate to get a hold of these limited edition kicks from Nike days after its release.  These were sold @ a few House of Hoops stores, Niketown Beverly Hills, and Nike.com in limited quantity on 23 January 2010.  People were lined up days ahead for its release, but I can't do that. I've never done that, nor do I ever intend to. 
 
Inspired by the Dark Knight himself w/ the black representing his overall personality, and the metallic blue color scheme inspired by his armor. The shoe is extremely light @ 10.6 oz and probably considered Kobe's most comfortable shoe in the Nike Zoom KOBE line up thus far.  You would be surprised in the ankle support area for being a low top basketball shoe.  When I speak comfort, I mean COMFORT!! The cushioning of this shoe is provided by 6mm Zoom Air unit in the forefoot and 14mm Zoom Air unit in the heel. That's FULL ZOOM Air support on the bottom! That's comfy! and if you don't know what Zoom Air is, get familiar!  Just when I thought the Nike Zoom KOBE IVs were comfortable, Nike and KOBE keep proving me wrong!  I must say, this is probably the shoe that will make it tough for me to stay "retired from the shoe game".

Stay tuned for future sneaker updates..
