We last saw Seattle Storm superstar Sue Bird with her own Livestrong x Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier 3′s on her feet. This time, she has her own player exclusive of the Livestrong x Nike Zoom Kobe IV (4). This Nike ZK4 features the same design as the LS3, with a full yellow patent leather upper and black accents on the printed Flywire swoosh, Livestrong insignia on the side, Kobe tongue tag, and outsole. This pair of Kobe’s definitely makes our jaws drop, as it can’t help but stand out anywhere. Too bad these won’t see the light of retail day, as the lucky ones like Sue Bird are the only ones who will get their hands on them as far as we know.

Although the Nike Zoom Kobe V has recently made its first appearance, it doesn’t mean the Nike Zoom Kobe IV can’t still be continuing its successful run. The Nike ZKIV comes in a white/green colorway, with a white leather upper and green contrasts. The white is found on the swoosh and midsole, while a green toebox and flywire side panel add nice touches to the shoe. “24″ makes its mark on the back heel to complete this sweet shoe.

Kobe Bryant’s championship year shoe, the Nike Zoom Kobe IV (4) has surfaced in this alluring black/varsity blue schema. The technical hoops shoe features faux-crocodile print on the toebox and black Flywire across the middle panel. A criss-cross blue/red fabric cossets the ankle. Red hints peek through on the IV’s multidirectional herringbone outsole. The Nike Zoom Kobe IV (4) Blue/Varsity Blue will hit sometime later this summer.

Kobe Bryant took the court in Orlando this evening wearing this unique pair of “Away” Nike Zoom Kobe IV (4) lowtops. The shoe features graffiti-esque font styling around the ankle collar and on the toebox. The shoe’s combination black patent/premium leather upper is accented by shades of athletic gold and team purple. Down below, a translucent outsole peeks out. Stay tuned for updates in the coming weeks; there’s a chance that the Nike Zoom Kobe IV (4) “Game 4 Away” hits Nike’s House of Hoops later this week.

After seeing the first look at the Nike Zoom Kobe IV (4) MLK Player Exclusive, we have come up with an update of the purple/gold/white shoe. The Nike Zoom Kobe IV MLK, the ZK4′s that KB24 wore on MLK day, are House of Hoops exclusives, and will be for sale this Friday, May 8th, at the shady HOH. These shoes are the first Kobe’s to feature the gradient design on the toebox, and having gold as the secondary color sure helps make this basketball shoe a collector’s item. So be sure to get in line early for the ZK4′s so you can own a piece of NBA history.

After seeing multiple variations of the Nike Zoom Kobe Iv (4) commemorating different occasions, this Nike Zoom Kobe IV is certainly special not only to us, but to the signature man himself. The ZK4 Gold Medal edition commemorates #10 of the U.S.A. Men’s Olympic Basketball team, who took the gold this past summer of 2008. Thus, the idea for this gold shoe was born. The shoe features the team colors of white, blue, and red o nthe side panel, tongue, and laces, and is contrasted by the gold on the toe area and heel. The trademark Kobe symbol is found on the tongue with “10″ embedded on the back ankle tab and a gold medal printed on the insole. These shoes are great for any baller or collector, so look out for these golden babies.

Nike Basketball has some fire in store of Fall/Winter 2009. During this quarter Nike plans on releasing a few retros as well as a plethora of new shoes. First up, and probably the one that many people are looking forward to, is the re-release (retro) of the Air Garnett III. The AG III is going to be released in both the white and black versions, which both have accents of blue that originally represented the colors of Kevin Garnett’s first team the Minnesota Timberwolves

Next up is some three more colorways of the Zoom Kobe IV. Look for the dropping of the Playoff Pack, which is predominately black with yellow accents as well as a speckled yellow outsole. There is also going to be an all white version with purple accents as well as a speckled purple outsole and and all black release with blue and red accents.

Nike is also released the Zoom BB 3, which was the shoe that introduced Nike’s Zoom technology to basketball. This line will be releasing in two white colorways (one which closely resembles the colorway of the Kobe I) as well as a black colorway and blue colorway, both of which have accents of white.

The Nike Hustle and Zoom Aspiration will also be released in both of which also share the Nike Zoom technology. These two will come in many different colorways, which will appeal to almost everyones’ tastes.

Following that is the Zoom Uptempo 5 Premium, which seems to be a fusion of an old school Uptempo upper and the Nike Jason Kidd bottom. For now this one will be releasing in two simple colorways of white and black, both of which have accents of blue throughout.

Also being released is the Zoom Brave and Zoom Skyposite lines. Both of these lines draw inspiration from both new and old by taking design cues from previous Nike Basketball releases and having current Nike Basketball technology, which insure that you play your game at the peak of your performance.

The Zoom Lebron series is also going to be ramping up for the Fall / Winter by releasing 3 separate lines with each line being comprised of various colors. The Nike Zoom Lebron Low 6 will be releasing as well as the Zoom Soldier 3 and the Zoom LBJ Ambassador 2. The ZL Low 6 so far will be coming out in two colorways, both of which are white. The ZS 3 so far will have 6 colorways, 4 of which we’ve featured on Sneakerfiles.com (camouflage, white/ blue / red, dunkman & black / white/ varsity red). Finally the ZLBJA 2 will so far be coming 4 different colorways all of which draw inspiration from previous ZL releases.

All of these releases beg the question of, which one are you going to get? More pics after the jump.
