Kobe Bryant Shoes Orange County
Kobe Bryant’s signature shoe line is set to become one of the best shoe lines in basketball shoe history. The Kobe IV, V, and VI have had a huge impact on the type of basketball shoes worn by basketball players and sneaker lovers. These shoes have revolutionized the footwear game and have made low-cut basketball shoes the overwhelming choice of basketball players and casual sneaker consumers.
Kobe Bryant’s shoes have not only changed the look of the high-performance basketball shoe, they have also changed the color combinations that the athletic shoe industry has always considered a tradition. The traditional black and white colourways used on signature shoes disappeared with the introduction of the Kobe. Non-traditional colorways are now acceptable due to the Kobe IV’s innovative colorways. The Kobe V continued to push the boundaries of creativity and color design. As a result, the Kobe VI finally broke all the rules of acceptable color combinations. The rules to which the shoes of the past had been adjusted.
The Kobe VI “Orange County” is a prime example of a basketball shoe that has broken all the rules of what a basketball shoe should conform to. First of all, it is a low-cut model. As we all know, low-cut basketball shoes are not meant to be worn on the court. They are too dangerous. An ankle will roll or a knee will explode. But so has conventional wisdom. Second, this shoe sports a color combination that has never been seen before in a basketball shoe. Use various shades of orange. Orange? Basketball players don’t wear orange basketball shoes. Well, they do now.
The Kobe VI Orange County was dropped during the 2011 NBA All-Star game festivities in limited numbers. The upper of the shoe features three different shades of orange and represents a sunset over the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Los Angeles. The detail in the shading of the orange tones that make up the sunset is truly amazing. The snakeskin-textured scaly upper gives the color design a three-dimensional look that really makes the shoe stand out. The shoe is finished off with a black heel cage and a translucent icy sole. The Orange County isn’t just a stunningly beautiful shoe, it’s a work of art.
Kobe Bryant’s signature line of sneakers has already made a huge impact in the sneaker world. But wait, this hugely popular shoe line isn’t over yet. The Kobe VII is next. One can only imagine what innovative new designs this shoe will bring. I can imagine, I can’t wait!
