Being Kobe Bryant has many unbelievable perks, I don’t need to list them for you just know they are extensive. One such perk is that when you have your own shoe line you are able to come out with your own player exclusive colors whenever you want. Mr. Bryant did this on March 11, 2009 when the Los Angeles Lakers played the Houston Rockets.

Seems like everyday there is a new colorway of the Nike Zoom Kobe IV (4) being seen. Today’s new colorway is the black / white / red version. Being predominantly black, the shoe has accents of red on the laces as well as the Kobe logo, inner lining and the sole. The white color can be seen on the Nike Swoosh, which makes it quite noticeable, as well as on the sole. No word on if and when these will be released, but if you really like this colorway then check out Nike iD. More pics after the jump.

New images have surfaced displaying the Nike Zoom Kobe IV (4) in what looks very similar to the recent catalog scan seen in a post earlier this month featuring new make-ups of Kobe Bryant’s fourth signature sneaker. Found on this ZKIV is a simple white base with purple on the tongue, laces, sole and seen on the speckled area of the translucent outersole. The toe is made up of patent leather and the heel is assumed to be so as well. There is no word when these sneakers are scheduled to release, but stay posted for more details.

You may be wondering why Nate Robinson’s New York Knicks jersey is spelled in Spanish. Well that has to do with the fact that the NBA has kicked off its third annual Latin Nights (Noche Latina), which honors those NBA fans that live in Hispanic communities in the U.S. and those in Latin American. Latin Nights are set to take place in eight of the top 10 American Hispanic markets this season, which are Los Angeles, Miami, Phoenix, San Antonio, Dallas, Chicago, Houston and New York. The event started out on Tuesday with the Lakers, or “Los Lakers,” when they faced off against the Memphis Grizzlies and you can be sure that the other selected cities will be getting their Latin inspired jerseys soon.

The Nike Zoom Kobe IV (4) is one of the hottest sneakers in the basketball market and is only going to get warmer with the new images of the ZKIV popping up today. The new set of pictures display Kobe Bryant’s sneaker in a variety of colors aside from the traditional purple and gold. Pictured above is the Zoom Kobe IV featured in a white and purple colorscheme and what looks to be a clear outersole with speckles. The second pair consists of blue, purple, black and a little bit of white applied to a leather upper. However, the third Zoom Kobe IV looks more Air Jordan-esque with a “Bred” like colorway along with patent leather applications. Look for all three to drop along with this model later this year.
