Perhaps it’s Kobe Bryant’s expectation of a deep playoff run and Olympic Games taking up so much time in 2012 that he’s just toying with the idea of playing overseas to get some media attention, instead of actually playing in games like many of his NBA co-workers. But there might not even be an NBA Playoff slate next spring the way things are going, so this Nike Air Max 1 Essential Team Red Petra Brown seems appropriate with its fairly generic take on the ‘away’ look. It’s a tame colorway to be sure, but the Zoom Kobe 7’s unique ribbed upper gives this basic trio a real boost and suggests they could steal attention away from pretty much any team’s road uniforms, no matter how colorful. Take a closer look after the jump and let us know how the ‘regular’ ZKVII stacks up against the bootie-equipped Zoom Kobe VII Supreme. via HC
