Earlier this year, Nike iD hosted a contest open to all U.S. residents to design a new colorway of the Nike Zoom Kobe V (5) that Kobe Bryant and a few of his fellow Lakers would be wearing on April 11, 2010. The sneaker that was eventually picked was this style designed by KidHollywood, a 28 year old that was born and raised in Los Angeles. The winning design features a white leather upper with metallic silver accents (“meant to represent how [Kobe] shines on the court”) on the ankle collar, paneling, and toecap, purple accents on the inner lining and laces, gold accents on the swoosh border and tongue, and an icey sole (meant to represent the ice in Kobe’s veins). Be sure to check out the “KidHollywood” Nike Zoom Kobe V (5) iD on the feet of several Lakers players as they take on the Portland Trailblazers this afternoon.
