Nike Zoom Hyperfuse – Black – Varsity Royal | Sample

These new black and varsity royal mids aren’t exactly an inversion of the previous’ blocking scheme, but rather, these follow the same pattern as the black/volt sample and feature some of the Duke-ish shade shining through the black latticework upper.  Another pair that we hope to see at retail whose release is questionable at best, you can grab a sample pair of these Hyperfuses from cigar0330 on eBay.

Nike Zoom Kobe V – Ink/Metallic Silver – Sample – “Eggplant”

Kobe Bryant’s fifth signature from Nike Basketball has offered some of the most satisfying colorways we’ve seen on the hardwood and here’s an upcoming release that’s sure to keep the trend afloat.  The Nike Zoom Kobe V (5) pictured above comes to us in a new shade of indigo called ‘Ink’, but it wouldn’t be shocking if sneakerheads looked at these and thought ‘Eggplant!’  Irrespective of the particular shade of purple, these joints offer just enough variation from the typical Varsity Purple that they offer a novelty while still staying close enough to the Lakers’ uniforms that it wouldn’t be shocking to see Kobe himself rocking these sometime early next season. 

You can grab yours today, with a size 9 sample available in advance of the Holiday 2010 release, from cigar0330 on eBay.

Nike Huarache 2K4 – “Vivo” Sample

Images have surfaced of a Nike Huarache 2K4 “Vivo” sample in Black/Canyon Gold-Varsity Purple. The make-up, inspired by Lakers guard Kobe Bryant, features a black suede upper with elephant print toe/heel overlays, as well as a purple and gold midsole/outsole, and purple and gold trim.

The word “VIVO” – Latin for “I live” – is stitched above the heel counter.  Kobe’s Sheath logo is stitched into the rear medial panels. This edition was never released to the public.

Air Jordan Retro VI (6) Lakers Samples

During the sampling up process though, Jordan Brand made a Lakers VI that did not feature the reflective paneling that will be on the final version which in effect, took the "showtime" out of the sneaker. Instead, the sample Lakers VI featured a full nubuck upper and the contrast stitching on was also a lot less subtle.

The final version can be seen [HERE] but for those who aren't a fan of the nubuck/reflective combo, you can take a look at what might have been.
