While Kobe's 2012 season is over (cue Nelson Muntz laugh), new colorways of his signature Nike Zoom Kobe VII are still going strong, as evidenced by today's preview of the upcoming "What The Kobe."
Sneaker Freaker provides these new images of the "What The Kobe," an over the top colorway featuring a medley of patterns and colors referencing previous predator-themed Kobe VIIs. Will the "What The Kobe" follow in the footsteps of the "What The Dunk" with an extremely limited release?

There’s no shortage of Nike Vintage shoes this year. We can add another one to the category with these Air Epic vintage sneakers dropping this summer. A couple of colorways in a bamboo/red/khaki and grey/yellow/navy have popped up and so we wanted to share them here. The suede, nylon and mesh runners have a very nice all around silhouette and would be a solid pickup come release time.

Once one of the most sought after gems amongst rare Air Jordan collectors, the AJKO appears to be making a return to retail for the second time in a two-year span. This summer's canvas-based retros include the original Black/Red colorway that was released in '86, as well as a pair that features the always-popular "Black Toe" Air Jordan I scheme. Both pairs are expected to drop in Quickstrike format sometime this summer.
The pink-based colorway of Kevin Durant's Zoom KD IV is not only a part of Nike's ongoing partnership with the Kay Yow Cancer Fund, but also a tribute to his late Aunt Pearl. Though Aunt Pearl passed away when Kevin was just 11 years old, she helped mold him into the young man and superstar athlete that he is today. For that reason, a metallic silver pearl pattern has been added to various sections of the shoe, including the tongue, heel, medial side and underside of the cross-strap. Black fills in Swoosh branding and KD logo on the heel, while Kay Yow's Breast Cancer Awareness ribbon adorns the tongue.
According to the NikeStore Twitter account, the "Aunt Pearls" will be released on Saturday, May 12 at select Nike retailers. However, they're also saying that the shoe will NOT be released online. So make sure you're on your Twitter account and keeping an eye out for the RSVP information from your nearest NikeTown.
