First Look: Nike Zoom Kobe VI - Black History Month

January 9th 2011 | 20 comments

Nike Zoom Kobe VI Black History Month

words_Brandon Richard

Throughout the years, we've seen Nike commemorate Black History Month with special footwear, most notably the Air Force 1. We've also seen Kobe's line pay tribute to one of his heroes, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., since the days of the Zoom Kobe IV. This year the two ideas will be fused, as Nike's Black History Month salute makes its way to the Nike Zoom Kobe VI.

Sporting a "Big Stage" Away look, the shoe features a black polyurethane upper with metallic gold working the Swoosh and heel counter. The letters "BHM" are seen in green, gold and red on the lateral heel. Marking 35 years of Black History Month being celebrated annually, Roman numerals "XXXV" appear on the backside of the tongue and in left insole. Separating this pair from the standard Kobe VI release, the upper features African scarification graphics embedded into the upper.

Knicks Rookie Pablo Prigioni has been wearing a Laker-themed Kobe VI all season that Spike Lee doesn't approve of.

The kobes are cool but I still think the 3s are sicker. Both fairly great shoes.

any way to make a buck and Nike will exploit it. doesn't matter what it is. their motive is always greed.

WELL JUST SO YOU KNOW BLUE DRAGON ?
THAT IS THE POINT OF A "BUSINESS"
THE IDEA IS TO MAKE AS MUCH MONEY AS YOU CAN. WHY WOULDNT NIKE LOOK TO CASH IN ON EVERYTHING THEY CAN ???
YOU SEEM TO HAVE ALOT OF FINANCIAL KNOWLEDGE !
