Kicks On Court - December 22nd, 2008
Posted by George Kiel III | Dec 22, 2008|
This past weekend, we spotlighted Kobe Bryant debuting his latest sneaker, the Nike Zoom Kobe 4 “Venom”. In our Kicks On Court today, we spotted Kobe Bryant and his teammate Trevor Ariza sporting a different colorway of this highly-anticipated sneaker. The glaring difference between the Nike Zoom Kobe 4 “Venom” he wore against the Miami Heat and the “Carpe Diem” he sported against the Orlando Magic is the toe box and midsole. The “Venom” featured a purple toe box with a black midsole, and heel, while the regular “Carpe Diem” possessed a grey midsole, purple heel and black toe box. As far as Trevor Ariza, it must be nice to be Kobe Bryant’s teammate! Which colorway interest you the most? Click the jump to view more kicks worn by LeBron James, Allen Iverson, Mike Bibby, Joe Johnson, Kevin Garnett and others. |

Trevor Ariza wearing Kobe’s shoe kinda reminds be of how Ron Harper use to wear MJ’s shoe. He wore Jordans XI XII & XIII back when they were on the second 3peat. And last year Ronny Turiaf wore Kobe’s Zoom III. Just thought i’d share dat. It’s not important but i thought i should mention.
