Nike Zoom Kobe V “Bruce Lee” Posters!

words_Nick DePaula

Several themed posters that tie into Kobe Bryant’s adoration for Bruce Lee have just been unveiled by Kenlu, with the inspired-by colorway set to drop this Saturday at House Of Hoops and select Nike accounts nationwide. With a yellow synthetic base and black bonded overlays, this rendition also features hits of red and four iconic scratch marks along the lateral side of the shoe.

For Kobe, the colorway is one of many that will be releasing that took direct influence from the people throughout history that he has looked up to. “We have some different people that have been inspirational to me,” Kobe explained during an interview for Sole Collector’s upcoming Issue 32. “We all have had dreams, goals or aspirations, and have met resistance in one form or fashion. Those are people that I draw inspiration from, so we used those with the different colors of the shoe, [like] the Bruce Lee shoe.”

Below, Kobe tries his best in re-creating several of Bruce’s iconic poses, like the “Game of Death” poster. Be sure to check out the posters below, and double-click for the full-size!

    He’s so corny. I hate him.

  2. Terence says:

    ^agree… I could let the Kobe IV’s go, but the Kobe V’s are just too damn hot. Bruce Lees are an easy cop for me

  3. bcj says:

    Easily the best looking colorway of the V–but Kobe looks ridiculous in those pics. I think saying he looks corny is giving him too much credit–he just looks awkward as hell…

  4. sneaksoy says:

    Eh the posters are a bit corny, but at the same time they’re kinda dope lol. Really feeling the shoe itself though

  5. 23running says:

    IDK I’m feeling the Dark Night’s, not this one….. Posters are sick though

  6. Nick says:

    oh, come on–he can do much worse

  7. bdot says:

    ill admit the posters are corny but half the time the marketing of an athlete is sometimes corny but never the less the shoes are hot and i do plan on copin me a pair despite the posters

  8. hitman3d says:

    i guess nike made kobe do those posters… but i gotta love the respect kobe and nike has for bruce lee…

  9. Terence says:

    the Dark Knights are on I-feel-guilty-considering-playing-ball-in-them level for me… got me hypnotized!

  10. 1jz-power says:

    I thought the nung chuck poses were funny. This shows his sense of humor, and I personally feels its amusing.

  11. teflon says:

    i like bruce lee movies, but i gotta say: kobe’s ankle insurance ads were much better imo

  12. Nick DePaula says:

    It’s intriguing to me how Kobe is being marketed by an American company towards Chinese consumers, while Baron Davis is currently being marketed by a Chinese company for an American audience. Interesting to compare the two executions.

  13. commonlight says:

    I dunno what plum designed the posters but having a corny ass photo of that douche bag isn’t doing the Bruce lee vibe any justice,,, these shoes should be a cross over to inspire Kung ku fans that Nike is special and to educate the youth on a fallen hero!! The posters look like a dwight Howard block ….. Plain nasty!!

  14. Ric Hardwood says:

    These posters would be 10x better if they made kobe wear the yellow jumpsuit Bruce Lee wore in “Game of Death”.

  15. j says:

    That last poster looks like the Last Dragon, ( Bruce LeRoy ) lol

  16. gpt85 says:

    lol bruce lee is a beast

  17. JA24 says:

    You guys are just hating.

  18. Joey Cortes says:

    Idea is great but having kobe pose in person is dope…. better off doing an anime-type cartoon or something illustrated…

  19. spambizzy says:

  20. swill says:
