"bruce lee" nikes available on february 6


Quick tip. Though if you're a true sneakerhead, you're probably already well aware of this... Remember those sweet Bruce Lee-inspired sneakers I mentioned last month? They'll be officially available on January 22 at select retailers like Niketown, House of Hoops, Foot Locker, etc.

As you can see, the Nike Zoom Kobe V is colored up to match Bruce Lee's famous yellow and black jumpsuit in Game of Death. It also has four red "scratches" in the lateral toe area, resembling the wounds Bruce receives at the end of Enter the Dragon. Here's some more info: Zoom Kobe V "Bruce Lee" at House of Hoops Saturday, January 22nd.

Some pairs have already been available at some specialty outlets (a quick check on eBay shows that they're going for around $200), and I'm told they look pretty awesome. But they're relatively limited, so if you're interested in getting them, better get in line. (Thanks, Rich.)

UPDATE: Slight change on the release date... The Nike Kobe V will be available exclusively at House of Hoops on January 22. It'll be available at other locations on February 6. As I said before, quantities are limited, so you might want to call stores about availability before rushing out to get your pair. More info here: The Collection 3.0: Nike Zoom Kobe V Bruce Lee.

UPDATE 2: No, wait. The date has been pushed back to February 6 for all locations: Nike Zoom Kobe V Release Date Changes: Dark Knight and Bruce Lee.
