I know we did not expect the Nike Zoom Kobe 4 (IV) pictures to arrive online for sometime, but one brave soul stepped up and unveiled the fourth signature sneaker for Kobe Bryant. The Nike Zoom Kobe 4 (IV) will contain Nike’s new flywire technology, herringbone pattern sole, and lunar foam.
In total, three color-ways are exposed of the Nike Zoom Kobe IV, and the first pair will release January 2009. Please share with the world (and Nike) what you feel on the first images of the Kobe 4 by leaving a comment. Via Projectbluefoot.

dey luk lyk trainers to me
i figured nike would allow him to drop the swoosh by now… guess he's still being pimped. It's kinda mean, the materials seem like a nice quality, and the technology i'm certain is top tier; but the swoosh needs to Go
Dont like low tops!
the white joints r tuff
its ugly not impressive !
so nice shoes…have order one pair from :www.nike-adidas.com
i like the profile of the black models. not sure if i can drop $$ on them though when there's so much other stuff coming out. priorities nike!
the february ones are nice. the rest i'm not digging much. they do look comfy, though.
are they positive that these aren't jogging shoes?
they would look even better if they made them into a causal shoe!!
look like the kobe trainers…maybe these r the lowtop versions and a hi top model b comn out too
I doubt kobe will ball in low tops not to mention the laces and signature on the heel make it look more like a commemoration shoe than a PE the bottom 2 im guessin are team editions
These are garbage. I thought Kobe would come out alot stronger after the awful waffle cones he dropped last season…what happened to his designers? The 2's were classic! The horrible waffle cones were a good fit but looks wise, I want my money back…
if they werent low tops then would be a crazy ass shoe
I hope they make these hightops and release brighter colorways
if they were high tops they'd hot
high tops would look way better
not as crakin as hyperdunks
Ay I like dem I cdould rock dem!!!
wow…what a disappointment…a revolutionary player like kobe should be wearing a revolutionary pair of shoes…these are very generic looking
i think the 2's were amazing and the 3's were original but ugly…and these…not liking them at all
these look like all of the Nike running shoes not for basketball
yea r u sure this arent his trainer edition shoes, cuz if they his signature shoe i'm not coppin
I agree with pretty much everyone. They need to be hightops, they need to drop the swoosh, they need more vibrant colorways, and the designers need to step their game up. I thought the 3s were amazing cuz it was a unique shoe that didnt look like every other. Kobe needs to change the shoe game like Jordan did back in the day.
dem aint no fuckin kobe 4's dey gotta be da trainer version of the 4's like he realesed da trainer version of da 3's
this is a basketball shoe? sense wenhas kobe worn low tops? idk if im feelin it..
look like some cross training shoes
they dont look like bball shoes. nike needs to step their game up. they look like casual shoes and need to be high tops. I definetely wouldnt buy these shoes right now. Nike better completely redesign these.
THESE SHOES ARE A TWIST BETWEEN REGULAR TENNIS SHOES, AND NIKE SB'S. THE SHOULD RELEASE REGULAR 1 TONE COLORS INSTEAD OF THOSE WEIRD STYLES.
if they come out as highs or mids i'll buy em but if they come out as low's i'll buy em just so i could BURN EM!!
Agree with everyone that the low-tops look like a tennis shoe not a basketball shoe.
Also second that motion that after the ZK2's Kobe's designers really fell off.
Zk 1's and 2's were nice but the 3's look lame and so does this…especially compared to the Lebrons
UGLY I LOVE KOBE BUT COME ON MAN THOSE SHOES ARE TRASH TO ME FOR AS LOOK NOW PERFORMANCE MIGHT BE GOOD BUT WE ALL WEAR SHOES FOR THERE FIT AND STYLE/ IT'S NO LIKE WE GO ING TO BALL IN OUR FRESH KICKS
what the hell did nike do with this signature line?!these shoes like some fricken shitty trainer shoes. i thought the design would be even more sick like the hyperdunk or something not look like some 50 doller trainer shoes. and what is up with a low top all of a sudden? i hope there is a high top version or this should just be some casual shoes. they look comfy and good to ball in but with the new technology and all but what happened to the kobe signatue line lookin hot and unique like the kobe 2 or 3. nike u better come up with something better than THAT, cuz those shoes right there are the ugliest kobes ever.
no disrespect to kobe though.
the hyperdunks look nicer then these but the performance must be better cause as i recall the hyperdunks didnt preform well according to kobe the slipped and slid across the hard wood so he went back to the kobe 3's but still no luck so… but this must give us the advantage in the olympics cause all of china's basketball team is using the hyperdunks. we need another gold medal.;~)
now these are actually DOPE – unlike those pieces of shit he's wearing now. i'm definately coppin all 3 of these joints!
those are awful… worst than the 3's… Go back to the 2's
Kobe can keep the Tech while Lebron will still have the fashion.
I'd be willing to bet my shoe collection that you won't see any of these on kobe bryant. For one the man doesn't wear lows and for two I think this is just hype. These might be the trainers that have his logo and stuff but I don't see him ballin in any of these.
I dislike them, come on nike can do better than that, they need to give him the same designers that they have on the lebron projects, they should make like a posite kind of kobe please………
Ain't nothin about lebrons shoes that needs to be considered for kobes. That's like sayin MJ should of worn some pippens.
i hope they aint gonna be low tops
they gotta put a high top on there if they expect hoopers to buy them
Horrible! Why do they have to be lows!? Please tell me they'll be makin' these highs in the end!
go 2 google and look up zk4 i think those r the real ones
if they put he cool design on the bottom of the shoe and put it where you could see it it would b better but still these look like rbks or somethin and yes the zk2s are the best kobes ever i didnt buy the 3 and i aint buyin these even if they r hi top. but i am buying the hyperdunks on july 26. but what i dont understand is this is supposedly the best technology nike has 2 offer yet theyre only 109.99 idk i thot they b like 129.99 or somethin whatever im still gonna get them tho in the gold colorway from eastbay.
these r not trainers if u look closely on the shoelace its got the metal casing which the trainers do not its a dam shame that these r the zk4s :/
they look cumfy
but they have to make them longer
low tops arent really supportaive
for your anckles
All u Ballers wolud know wat i mean
i like the purple and white ones, but i hope better colors come out so i can cop em
they needta make thes into high tops..theres no way he's gunna b ballin in low top shoes
really need to step it up or i wont buy kobes anymore cause i bought everymodel and they were all basketball shoes and they were nice. Step it up or get less money
For some reason all I can think of is the number 3 & 4 Mike's. Maybe cause they're low tops. Looks like a casual shoe they ok, but come on Nike drop the swoosh Kobe's name stands alone!!!
they look a bit like a running shoe… i'm feelin these but was expecting more for the kobe 4, you can see the hyperdunks in these huh?
bro wtf is worng with u guys are you serious? you actually think KOBE BRYANT is gonna fuckin ball in some low tops never bro, any great nba player will never ball in lowtops especailly not KOBE so dont worry the shoes will be mid or high tops, 2nd these are all limited edition shoes for show not hoopin shoes so calm the fuck down and know your shit before you bash the greatest signature shoe i been hoopin in all these years…
kobe 1-rated 8 amazing
kobe 2-rated 7 comfort not so good but looked the nicest
kobe 3- rated 9 best bball shoe of all time comfort wise
kobe 4- rated judgeing by the technology and light material they use this shoe is gonna be top shoe they keep gettin better
nike huarache line
2k4 rated 8.4 amazin
2k5 rated 8.7 even better
hyperdunks rated 8.8 light and comfy
i think these are the low top or the casual version of the kobe 4. if you look at his recent pics he is wearing the new kobe 4. there almost exactly the same as the hyperdunk but with a different mid sole. you gotta look closely at the pics to even realize there not hyperdunks
I found that one site sell this Nike Zoom Kobe IV shoes, maybe we can have a try to shopping this online shop: http://www.brandregion.com
You guys r blind these shoes are crazy fresh, stop all the hating.
These shoes are hella tight. Kobe is going to where them, all the haters are focusing on looks,(they look badass anyway) but Kobe has a reason for choosing low, and that is performance. Anyway I've never sprained strained rolled my ankles wearing low tops before.
If any of you tried doing a bit of research, you would know that Kobe asked Nike to design a low cut shoe for him to ball in.
Nike said they tested the shoe and found that the low cut enabled him to make sharper and quicker cuts, while still providing support.
So Severalthieves – if you're willing to bet your whole shoe collection on Kobe not wearing these low's in the NBA…I hope for your sake that your collection is only a couple of pairs of Dunks and a random retro Jordan…
Kobe has been ballin in dis shoes during practice but when it comes down to it if your a baller to win you really dont care about the dam look of the shoe but how it fits and feels… style shoes have cut my pinky toe before then i switch to the hyperdunks and man i feel like i can fly cause there so lite and so much room and good ankle support but wearing lite shoes can really help a balla in a long game even read the artlcle that kobe wrote about thes shoes
