Zoom Kobe V Chaos
















OK so I really don't like Kobe at all, so when I first saw these I was pretty much against them just because they had his name on them. I liked the colors on these when I first saw them, but I figured i'd pick them up later if I really wanted them. However, I noticed that these were never restocked and that I actually really liked the colorway. I was a bit bummed that I missed these, so I started looking around and on the internet they were all like $180-200, which I wasn't really cool with. I went to my local foot locker today, and luckily i got the last pair they had which also were in my size. I think all the of the shoe is synthetic. The side-panel and toe-box are the same purple/blue material. It has a large almost alligator skin print on it . All the white on the shoe is a snake/shark skin print as well as the black toe cap. The mid sole is all white with a blood splatter effect on it. The shoe is pretty narrow and tight, so I have to lace these a bit looser, but I have to say they aren't that uncomfortable. All in all they're a pretty decent shoe.

Adidas Skywalker





























When I heard about the adidas x star wars collection, I knew I was going to have to get something from the pack. I had a hard time deciding between these and the storm troopers, but in the end I decided to grab these, although I might get the storm troopers as well. The toe box, side panel, and a little bit of the back are all orange canvas. The rest of the back is a white nylon. The tongue and a strip on the heel of the shoe have a ruffle like rubber on them. The three white stripes on the sides of the shoe are all white leather. The inside is a leather of sorts. I think adidas did a pretty good job with the shoe, it looks a lot like the suit that luke wore in his x-wing. Great shoes, one of my most comfortable yet., all around terrific.
