Kobe Bryant visited one of South Florida’s top high school basketball teams in Boward on Friday before suiting up against the Miami Heat. Bryant was at the high school to showoff his newly unveiled Zoom Kobe IV which he debuted on the court while playing against the Heat. Kobe gave the team the opportunity to design their very own Kobe IV through Nike iD, a feature that was announced only a few days ago. Bryant revealed to the players of the Dillard High School team that his Nike Zoom Kobe IV (4) Venom would be available in limited quantity at the Footlocker in the Boward Mall. The Zoom Kobe IV will be released officially in February 2009. Via The305.

Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers first debuted his newest sneaker model, the Zoom Kobe IV, in a black/gold/purple colorway earlier tonight. Referred to as “Venom”, this colorway features a graphic-filled black upper alongside a gold swoosh and a purple toebox. The inspiration of this clean colorway comes from one of Bryant’s favorite comic villains, Venom from Spiderman 3. Up until now, we have seen Kobe rocking Hyperdunks and a fusion between the Hyperdunk and the Kobe IV this season, but now we will most likely see him in this low-top model for the rest of the year or until Nike decides to release a new ZK model. As for the game, the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Miami Heat by the score of 89-87. This colorway of the ZKIV is now available at Broward Mall Foot Locker in Miami and the Footlocker House Of Hoops in L.A. (information below). Pictures of the Nike Zoom Kobe IV “Venom” and Kobe rocking this pair can be seen after the jump.  Pics via Yahoo Sports and The 305.

Nike has realized the effect of such characters on society and has started to create sneakers resembling them. This pair of SB Dunk High’s features a full leather and suede black upper which is nicely accented by the bright white swoosh and laces. The midsole and outsole are also contrasting colors of white and black, respectively. These are now available at Nike SB retailers such as LTD-Online
