Nike Zoom Kobe IV “Draft Day Hornets”

We have came across a slew of Nike Zoom Kobe IV colorways since its official release in January. However, photos of an exclusive, theme-inspired colorway has now surfaced on the web.

The latest Nike Zoom Kobe IV draws inspiration from the then-Charlotte Hornets; the very team that drafted Kobe Bryant out of high school. The colorway is very similar to the Nike Zoom Kobe IV “MPLS” that dropped early last month. It features a predominately white upper with teal accents on the toe cap, tongue, and heel. The latter area also features Bryant’s draft date, 6.11.96, in purple imprinted numerals. Other hints of purple appear on the swoosh and Kobe logo on the tongue. Is this one of the better theme-inspired Kobe IV’s yet? Click here to view detailed photos of each.
