depends...the volt is a loud shoe and a high top, tht kobe is a low cut, i have the volts but no kobes because i dont like his shoes or him as a person or a player but tht just me im bias, the volts in person change color in different light the brighter the light the louder the shoe but in the fading light it looks closer to a green ish yellow its kinda cool, honestly i dont even consider the kobes a basketball shoe i think its a glorified running shoe IMO, i would suggest gettin a look in person at both b4 u buy always best if u can
