Nike Zoom V “Dark Knight”

Dark Knight

The Nike Zoom Kobe V in Black/Black-Dark Grey-Neptune Blue, the “Dark Knight,” will have a limited online availability this Saturday, January 23rd on NikeBasketball.com. Select stores will also be carrying these starting the same day. Metallic-finished electric blue is put to work on the fore- and midfoot, which pops right off of the matte and shiny black finishes used elsewhere. Grey is also used in abundance, while the shoe sits on an icy outsole.
Worn by Kobe Bryant, who many considers the best ball player right now, it’s a low-top championship tested shoe and is another addition to the Nike Zoom Kobe V line of shoes. I would want to get a pair of these not only because of the color combination but also because of good reviews of the shoe. Players who play the Guard position, whether it be the 1 or the 2, would be those I would recommend to wear them because it is very light on the foot, something you would want when you run up and down the court going on a break.

Batman Custom Shaqs

September 14th, 2008 by nkats Stored in: Custom Sneakers, Other

The aftermath of The Dark Knight’s success has allowed a flurry of custom sneakers based on Batman, The Joker and Gotham City to reach the Internet. Sneakers by Sean took a more conceptual approach to the new Batman movie on this pair of custom Shaqs. These pictures were taken from the designer’s Customsnkr.com blog linked here.

While other designers took literal approaches to the images in the The Dark Knight, Sneakers by Sean took a much different approach to these Shaqs. The image of a black bat is placed on a golden toe box to show the signal sent into the night sky when Batman is needed. The back heel features a cloud of flying bats that symbolize the swift justice given out by Batman. Sneakers by Sean’s black/gold colorway is evocative of the crime fighter’s suit featuring a yellow utility belt.

I am a big fan of any sneaker that is well done while celebrating Batman. Sneakers by Sean took a more symbolic approach to the comic book hero than other designers but it is executed perfectly.
