Released along side a pair of his archnemisis, the joker(who, incidentally can also be cool), the Dark Knight continues to be blessed with his own Kobe shoe since 2008. 1 additional model and colorway has released with another coming to you. The Kobe IV, V, VI all use black, silver, and neptune blue to produce the best colorway ever seen on the set of Kobe Bryant shoes. The king of Gotham City deserves nothing less.
In 2008, the Kobe IV "Dark Knight" was releassed to rave reviews. Enhanced comfort, stability and most importantly, the colorway, were one of the coolest pair of kicks to ever hit the industry. Due to the success ot the Kobe IV "Dark Knight", Nike released the Kobe V "Dark Knight" the year after. Probably the most attractive shoe magista pas cher of the series, it features a black upper, silver accents, and a clear translucent outsole. There is nothing cooler on a pair of basketball kicks than the usual translucent outsole. Cold-blooded! The accents of grey around the heel tab and Swoosh along with the dark, speckled two-toned laces are great in representing , children of men. The laces are what truly makes this shoe cool. Black laces speckled with neptune blue may seem like a small detail. Wrong! Small details as true sneakerheads know are why is a shoe special.
A new colorway from the Kobe VI is on it's way and s strikingly similar to the Dark Knight's of history. Even though it is not officially tagged because this years Dark Knight, the resemblance towards the last two year's editions is uncanny. Top of the is really a snakeskin textured black tone along with a neptune blue Swoosh and feauturing silver accents around the heel cup. Problem?
Superheroes are extremely cool. They can fly. That's pretty cool. They can shoot sticky web-like substances from their hands. They've steel fingers that spring out from the hands with the flick of a wrist. Supercool! But these days superheros are even cooler. Not a way! How's that possible? Not only do they've superpowers, the brand new age superheroes have tons of money and drive awesome cars. Heck, they can use state of the art jetpacks. I mean, come on! How cool is Ironman? And this Batman guy, he is the best cat, I am talking about bat, of all of them. Have you seen his car?
It's no surprise then, that Bruce Wayne has been immortalized by a pair of Kobe Bryant shoes. For the last 3 years Nike has dropped a colorway from the Kobe signature sneaker crampon hypervenom line that is appropriately titled the "Dark Knight".
Bruce Wayne, what a cool dude. Money, cars, and all sorts of types of cool body gear. It only makes sense then, the Kobe Dark Knight editions would be some of the coolest Nike shoes for basketball. Less cool because the Batman, but pretty damn cool.
