Snake-skin textures, bright colors, camouflage, three dimensions have all been used on the uppers of the Zoom Kobe VI. The shoe is considered as the most creative sneaker that produced by Nike. It is clear that nothing could stop the Nike producing their sneakers as the top choice. 

Different models have been released earlier this year, the Kobe VI "Gradient" is a relatively new concept and features an extremely unique look that uses a classic Laker colorway of purple and yellow. The upper on the outer side of the upper on both shoes features purple that slowly blends into a solid yellow that covers the inside of the upper on again, both shoes. White is used on the Swoosh and also as accents on the midsole and heel-cup.

The Zoom Kobe VI uses the snakeskin textured upper that has literally turned this series of Kobe Shoes into works of art. Intentionally or not, Nike has in effect, produced a three dimensional element that has been used to release the most creative colorways ever seen on a pair of Kobe Bryant shoes. Or any basketballs shoe for that matter. There is just something about the snakeskin material that makes this shoe pop.

Some of the Kobe shoes and specifically the Kobe VI's are very nearly paintings. Here's an example for you, a concord colored pair of VI's was released during last year's NBA All-Star festivities that blended a Los Angeles skyline, complete with skyscrapers into the upper of the shoe. The Kobe VI "Orange County" is another shoe that feels more like a Picasso than a sneaker. The different shades of orange that are blended into the upper to create the image of a California sunset create a trully masterful piece of art.

The new Kobe VI Gradient is just one more example of the most innovative and creative designs that is currently being dropped on us by Nike. Again, what truly makes this shoe pop is the texture of the upper that creates a three-dimensional look and allows a multiple of colors to be used to create one of a kind design. Nike shoes for basketball are not just shoes, they are works of art.
