Take a closer look at the all new Zoom Kobe III, in stores today, from The Collection.

It’s over before it ever really began. All seems normal, and then BAM… he strikes. The opponent is stunned and soon done for. When Kobe takes the court, he is always on the attack. Doesn’t matter if it’s scoring 81 points in a game or scoring 20,000 points – the youngest to ever to reach that mark - Kobe does what it takes to win, and takes no prisoners. He doesn’t wait for greatness to come to him. He goes and gets it. Defenders beware.

The new Zoom Kobe III is a revolutionary shoe for a revolutionary player. The all-black sneaker is built for stealth and speed. Its lightweight construction and carbon-fiber spring plate is perfect when it’s time to step up and take over a game. The unique breathable mesh web keeps him cool in the clutch while the snake detailing and Kobe’s symbol let you know the Black Mamba is always ready to strike.

Check back next Thursday for a new exclusive.
