While we've seen reptilian skin patterns on various colorways of Kobe's kicks, never before have we seen such glaringly apparent skin texture dominating the upper like here with the Nike Zoom Kobe VI.  Contrasting the black reptile upper is a dark grey midsole and heel cup with del sol yellow painting the Swoosh, outsole's heel and inner lining of the tongue. The bulk of the outsole is a fresh white with a honeycomb-like traction pattern.

Keep an eye out for the Nike Zoom Kobe VI Black/Del Sol to drop at Niketown, Nikestore.com, House of Hoops and Foot Locker locations nationwide and on footlocker.com on December 26th.  Yes, that's after Christmas, interestingly enough.

You can most definitely bet that Nike will also go on a colorway rampage with Mamba's sixth signature shoe, but the question is, will they be able to surpass the success of the Kobe V?
