Nike Zoom Kobe IV “Venom”
Posted by Matt Halfhill | Dec 18, 2008 Last week, Kobe Bryant unveiled his latest signature shoe – the Zoom Kobe IV to a worldwide audience on a live webcast. Tomorrow night against the Miami Heat, Kobe is set to debut the Zoom Kobe IV for the very first time on court. Kobe will be wearing a special “Venom” version of the shoe which was inspired by the incredibly quick and deadly venomous strike of the black mamba snake.
Special details of interest on the “Venom” Kobe IV include a fading purple to black toe cap, as well as a painted “web” on the Flywire and toebox displaying a bit of Kobe’s inspiration from a memorable scene of Spiderman 3 (see video). In celebration of Kobe’s court debut of the Zoom Kobe IV “Venom”, Nike will sell limited pairs of the “Venom” in Miami and Los Angeles tomorrow, Friday, December 19th. Check out the addresses of the stores that will sell the shoes after the break. |

these are sick!!!!!

wait a minute I’m pretty sure these were inspired by the villain ‘Venom’ from the Spider-man Series.
that’s also why the other super-limited Kobe IV, like these, will be called ‘Chaos’ similar to another villain named ‘carnage’ also from the Spider-man Series

Jedi mind tricks..
Kobe has less of a chance of turning an ankle cause most NBA players get there ankles taped(Nike knows that and Kobe knows that but they not telling you)..
For the meek who don’t have a trainer to tape their ankles and don’t wear braces you are going to wind up very mad at Mr. Bryant and nike when you attempt to do the same.. the shoe is kind of blah…

#14: The “back in the day athlete” was a bum! Players these days are faster, stronger, ect…..I saw Kobe’s interview and this is just another way for Nike to reinvent the wheel!!
