Here we feature a pair of Nike Zoom Kobe 4 (IV) samples which recently surfaced. They sport a white / varsity purple / black / canyon gold color scheme. One of the main differences between these and Kobe’s championship shoe is that unlike the released version, the mid panels on these do not sport Nike’s patented flywire technology.

On the other hand, they sport similarities, including the prominent outrigger on the front and sculpted midsole. Also, the Zoom Air unit and heel cup are classic features of the Zoom Kobe 4 (IV). Unfortunately, this pair will not hit retailers, so enjoy the pictures below.
