Nike Zoom Kobe 7 "Year of the Dragon" sample pops up on eBay

A few weeks ago, the sneaker world was buzzing with what was rumored to be Kobe Bryant's Christmas Day shoe.  It turned out to be a false alarm as an even crazier colorway ended up becoming Kobe's shoes on Christmas, but we now know that the initial shoe had a different purpose.  An eBay listing has surfaced for the red/green/yellow shoe, and while the seller is erroneously claiming that he/she is selling the Christmas Day Nike Zoom Kobe 7, they actually has what appears to be a sample for a potential "Year of the Dragon" colorway.  I'm not sure, but the dragon art right below the heel clip kind of gives that away.

Here is the description according to the seller...

    I have a pair of Kobe vii Christmas samples. These will most likely NEVER be released to the public. Size 9 with sample stamps on inside. Never been worn or even put on. You will never see these anywhere else. Message me for more pictures or if you have offers.

    SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY!! WILL NOT SHIP OUTSIDE OF US

Fair enough, it's quite possible that this won't be the "Year of the Dragon" because the color scheme is such a departure from the Nike Zoom KD IV release.  But I love the additional blurb they added later...

    Willing to trade for Jordan 11 space jam size 11 ds or nds. possibly other jordan 11s size 10.5-11.5

Yeah, no matter how hard Kobe tries, he'll never escape MJ...
