The bruce lees, hornets cw, WTK, the PE elite X he had. It look like the BS V Away. And imo the KD scoring title look like the 5 rings. Oh and the new lebron x low have the colors of the mambacurials
I'm not sure if I would go that far...you could also say, why does Nike give Kobe themes that were done on other Nike's before...
1. BL or LBJ Taxi 9 Elite...Taxi theme was done on the AJ XII
2. Charlotte Hornets/Summit Lake Hornets... SLH based their colors on Charlotte, but its not like Nike pulled one outta their butt to give LBJ a similar colorway. At least LeBron actually played for "his" Hornets..
3. What the ___? ... Was done before by Nike on a previous shoe I believe, so not "exclusive" to Kobe.
4.Big Stage V Away...I won't deny the Black/Gold similarities, but there has been other Championship colorways like that since then... the success of those Kobes probably helped spawn the Elites Nike has sold for the past 2 seasons.
5. Raspberry? lows...based on the Mambacurials? Can't deny that. But the Mambacurials were based on the Mercurials...
A lot of themes are basically recycled...year to year, shoe to shoe... but I wouldn't say Nike was blatantly giving Kobe's colorways to Lebron.
