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.
He is hillarious
^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
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…
Eh the posters are a bit corny, but at the same time they’re kinda dope lol. Really feeling the shoe itself though
IDK I’m feeling the Dark Night’s, not this one….. Posters are sick though
oh, come on–he can do much worse
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
i guess nike made kobe do those posters… but i gotta love the respect kobe and nike has for bruce lee…
the Dark Knights are on I-feel-guilty-considering-playing-ball-in-them level for me… got me hypnotized!
I thought the nung chuck poses were funny. This shows his sense of humor, and I personally feels its amusing.
i like bruce lee movies, but i gotta say: kobe’s ankle insurance ads were much better imo
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.
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!!
These posters would be 10x better if they made kobe wear the yellow jumpsuit Bruce Lee wore in “Game of Death”.
That last poster looks like the Last Dragon, ( Bruce LeRoy ) lol
lol bruce lee is a beast
You guys are just hating.
Idea is great but having kobe pose in person is dope…. better off doing an anime-type cartoon or something illustrated…
this is why i cop lebrons
@spambizzy Enjoy your oversized army boots!
See his bigass ring lol
^ These comments are gettin out of hand lol. Kobe has the sickest shoe out period. Im stealing these and the dark knights…kobe haters simmer down!
Where can I purchase,Kobel Bruce Lee Shoe
No Foot Locker in The Pittsburgh, PA Seen to sell them
the shoes are sick
but yeah kobe looks silly in the pics
I like this Kobe Zoom V
