On top of the “Chaos” Nike Zoom Kobe V we saw earlier today, images of two new upcoming colorways of Bryant’s latest signature sneaker have hit the web. In White/Black/Purple and Black/Varsity Maize, both color schemes have been featured on a majority of Kobe’s previous models –  and with good reason, the simple pallets often proving to create some of the most popular colorways. Expected to release either later this year or in early 2010, stay tuned for more detailed information to come.

On June 11, 1996, Kobe Bryant was drafted 13th overall by the Charlotte Hornets, then shipped out West to the Los Angeles Lakers. (The rest is history.) Nike is celebrating KB’s short-lived pit stop in Charlotte with a unique white/teal/blue color scheme of the Nike Zoom Kobe IV (4). The model features the draft date “6-11-96″ is inscribed along the heel and inside the shoe on the insole. The Zoom Kobe 4 features Nike Basketball’s Lunar Foam cushioning interface up front, and Flywire containment strands cover the sleek model’s middle panel. (Interestingly enough, the purple ‘Wire matches up nicely with the Hornets’ pinstriped jerseys!) Look forward to seeing the Nike Zoom Kobe IV (4) at House of Hoops later this Summer.

A couple of weeks ago, we previewed the Nike Zoom Kobe IV (4) Chaos, Kobe Bryant’s fourth signature installment and latest high-performance entrant to hit the market from the oft-inventive Nike Basketball camp. The “Joker” IV (4) commemorates Heath Ledger’s legendary performance in the latest Batman movie. The model is augmented by the Swoosh’s innovative Flywire containment technology along the upper, dependable Zoom Air cushioning in the heel, and rather unproductive Lunar Foam (Hey, let’s be honest here; the moon platform bottoms out after just a few wears.) up front. Apparently, these are limited to 240 pairs worldwide, so act fast to ensure you get your pair! Via Kix-Files.

This morning, Nike unveiled their newest and lightest basketball sneaker up to date, the Zoom Kobe IV. Weighing in at only 11.6 ounces, the Zoom Kobe 4 will be even lighter than the Nike Hyperdunk—a feat thought to be impossible when the Nike Hyperdunk was released months ago. Featuring a red base with white accents, this colorway of the Zoom Kobe 4 is meant to go along with the jerseys of the west coast NBA All-Stars playing in February of 2009. Small gold accents can also be seen on this sneaker in the form of Kobe’s signature on the heel and his patented logo on the tongue. Another key aspect of the Zoom Kobe 4 (IV) is the fact that it will come equipped with Nike’s flywire technology which gives players the support and flexibility needed to play at the best of their abilities. There is no word yet on a release date or if these will even be made available to the public, but remember to stay tuned for updates. Via Marqueesole.
