Earlier today, we featured the Nike Zoom Kobe IV (4) – Duke Player Exclusives (PE), and now we are seeing a preview of a new Nike ZKIV made for another university with an elite basketball program. This cardinal and gold colorway is made exclusively for the athletes over at the University of Southern California to rock while attempting to make a run during March Madness. This pair yields the typical Trojans’ colorway of cardinal, gold, and white. Most of the sneaker is coated in cardinal while the swoosh is in gold and the midsole and toebox are in white. It is still under question if these will be released to the public or not, so stay tuned for updates. Via NT.

With March Madness just around the corner, Nike and Kobe Bryant are teaming up to outfit Duke University’s basketball players with their very own Nike Zoom Kobe IV Player Exclusives. Duke players will be receiving a home colorway and an away colorway of the ZKIV so they can look fresh for all their games. The away pair features a black leather base with blue and white accents. The home colorway (seen after the ‘jump’) yields a white upper with blue accents, a black swoosh, and a black heel. Both pairs come with Duke’s signature Iron ‘D’ on the upper heel and are made exclusively for Duke athletes. Via DukeBluePlanet.

Kobe Bryant was Nike’s main advocate for the Hyperdunk as he endorsed the sneakers in commercials before breaking out his own Zoom Kobe IV (4). Nike fused the two early on in the NBA season as Bryant was seen in this hybrid sneaker that consists of Flywire technology and the sole of the ZKIV. Featured is the colors of the Los Angeles Lakers away jerseys which consists of black, white, purple, and gold. Black is the main color while yellow is found on the Flywire, swoosh border and accents. Purple and white are the other two colors making up this hybrid and appear on the swoosh and midsole. Unfortunately, release has yet to be confirmed, but it doesn’t look like these will see the light of day at retailers. Via HK-Kicks.

Earlier today, Kobe Bryant and his fellow Los Angeles Lakers came to Quicken Loans Arena to take on the Cleveland Cavaliers. Though Kobe Bryant was reported to be ill and needed intravenous fluids at halftime, his Lakers pulled through with a 101-91 victory with notable performances from Odom and Gasol. Though the game was exciting, the true excitement was brought while sneakerheads compared the two supertars’ sneaker choices. Lebron James showed up with a new Fairfax Nike Zoom Lebron VI (6), while Kobe started the game with the Carpe Diem Nike Zoom Kobe IV (4) and switched to the Venom KBIV at the quarter break. Even though Bryant’s sneaker switch is quite an interesting topic, most sneakerheads stared in awe at what James was rocking. This is our first look at the Fairfax colorway of the Zoom Lebron VI and it looks quite promising.
