There was previously a contest where 6 shops participated in and this was to customize their version of the Zoom Kobe I. Premium Goods took the idea of energy and designed the shoe revolving around Kobe himself and the energy his possess. Energy can never be created nor destroyed, but only earned. The purple gradient takes the literalism of energy one step further that energy is infinite. Kobe’s number last season was 8 and when the 8 is turned sideways it takes the meaning of infinity. So they have engraved that in the leather throughout the shoe, which also creates a nice pattern for the overall appearance. On the back of the shoe is the “Atomic Kobe†logo, which yet again ties into the science of Kobe. There will only be 24 pairs released worldwide.
