The much discussed Kobe Bryant x Aston Martin pack which we previewed last week here is now fully revealed. Nike Basketball has created a limited edition 2-Pack “Aston Martin” collaboration featuring the Nike Hyperdunk and the Nike Zoom Kobe V. The special bundle commemorates the viral video from 2008 of Kobe jumping over a speeding Aston Martin in a pair of then yet to be released Hyperdunk’s. Phrases and imagery from the ad clip are featured on the shoes and box such as: “I TOLD YOU”, “I GOT THIS”, “THATS HOW”, “YOU DO IT”, along with a knee-bent silhouette of Kobe taken right before he performs the automobile jump over. The Aston Martin Wings logo is prominent throughout. Tentative release date and pricing which we’re hearing so far is August 3, 2010 with a $300 price tag for the box set, all subject to change. More information as it develops. Continue reading for over 30 detailed images of the Nike Hyperdunk and Nike Zoom Kobe V in this Kobe Bryant x Aston Martin pack.

Nike is known for creating movie-themed collections of sneakers, utilizing colors inspired by popular movies. Continuing the trend, with a bit of a twist, is the “Kill Bill” Pack. The twist is courtesy of the Black Mamba, a nickname shared by Kobe Bryant and Uma Thurman’s character in the movie “Kill Bill.” In the pack are the Big Nike High and Auto Flight High. The Big Nike High is done in Black/Yellow/Red with splattered blood and the Auto Flight High consists of Red/Black/Yellow, a nod to the jumpsuit Uma Thurman wore. Insole graphics for both pairs mimics the Death List from the film and features the names of Kobe Bryant’s on court adversaries in the NBA.

We’ve seen this year’s All-Star game shoe for LeBron James here, and now we take a look at the model Kobe Bryant will be wearing as he assists the Western Conference next month at the NBA All-Star Game in Dallas, TX.
