How many more Nike Zoom Kobe IVs can there be? Our best guess is that Nike wants to remind you with one colourway for each game how impressive it was for the Black Mamba to remain at the peak of his power and relatively injury free through two NBA seasons and an Olympic Gold Medal run without a break. We’re talking well over 250 games, not to mention the pratices, time in the weight room and hours spent breaking down film that it takes to be that good.
This edition of the ZK4 further emphasizes the high points of this amazing two year run, bookending the 2008-09 NBA season with the Gold Medal and Kobe’s first NBA title sans Shaq. Dubbed ‘Beijing to the Finals’ or BJ2F for short, these look wonderful in white with gold and purple accents, plus splashes of red on the insides including a snake lying coiled beneath some Chinese symbols. This impressive pair is set to drop on December 12th, which has us expecting the sequel around New Year’s. Stick with Sneaker News for updates on all Kobe Bryant sneakers. via HK Kicks
