On Court: Nike Zoom Kobe IV "Venom"

Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers first debuted his newest sneaker model, the Zoom Kobe IV, in a black/gold/purple colorway earlier tonight. Referred to as “Venom”, this colorway features a graphic-filled black upper alongside a gold swoosh and a purple toebox. The inspiration of this clean colorway comes from one of Bryant’s favorite comic villains, Venom from Spiderman 3. Up until now, we have seen Kobe rocking Hyperdunks and a fusion between the Hyperdunk and the Kobe IV this season, but now we will most likely see him in this low-top model for the rest of the year or until Nike decides to release a new ZK model. As for the game, the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Miami Heat by the score of 89-87. This colorway of the ZKIV is now available at Broward Mall Foot Locker in Miami and the Footlocker House Of Hoops in L.A. (information below). Pictures of the Nike Zoom Kobe IV “Venom” and Kobe rocking this pair can be seen after the jump.  Pics via Yahoo Sports and The 305.

  1. D. Wade is rocking his first model and I always saw those as a low top court shoe. I will admit that when I had to play in my Air Jordan VI lows spur of the moment, A new love affair began! Unreal performance.

  2. told ya kobe could rock the lows and make them look good. only him and maybe will smith. i never do lows unless im on teh treadmill.

  3. I think these are a hot shoe, but I wouldn't hoop in them. I would rather see Nike do a high top or a mid for Kobe. A nice 5/8 cut or something like they did with the Air Jordan 22's. It's not a low top, but it's not a high either and it looks good.

    I know Kobe is going to rock a lot of colorways in this one! And by the way why doesn't Nike just move D. Wade over to Nike instead of keeping him in Converse? I think D. Wade would sell a lot more shoes if he was with Nike. Just a thought!

  4. UGLY ass shoes!!! Never touch my feet. I wouldnt take em for free. Sorry ass shoe for a sorry ass player. KOBE=GARBAGE

  5. Boston will beat the lakers to the pulp fo’ sure! Lakers are too soft! Like the shoes though….

  6. Kobe always gets his ankles taped, so even without sneakers he'd be supported. And they're not lows, they're 5/8 like a lot of guard shoes these days(inc. the Wade's)

  7. These Kobe's are off the chain, everybody i know love these shoes! Even on NBATV, Ahmad Rashad, Gary Payton & Chris Webber was lovin these kicks. Kobe gave them free kicks live on the air. I like that Kobe went to the lows, i guess he followin in Jordan's footsteps.

    Oh u dont know? Remember people Jordan wore lows during the 86-87 season with the AJ2 lows! Remember? He also during the '96 Playoffs during the Knicks wore the AJ11 lows! Check the footage people!! And also in the 2002 AS Game Jordan wore the AJ19 or 20 lows!! So Kobe wasnt the only one that went this route!

  8. YO THESE IZ HOTT IM DEF COPPIN THE VENOMS YO KOBE IS DEF FOLLOWING IN YOUR AIRNESS FOOTSTEPS THATS WAT THE NIKE GODS WANT YOU SEE THE JORDAN BRAND HAS FELL OFF KB24 IS THE NEXT BEST THING REMEMBER HE IS THE CLOSES THING TO MIKE WE'VE SEEN IN THE 10 YRS HE'S BEEN DONE AND YES I SAID 10 THOSE COMBACKS IN 02-03 WASN'T THE REAL JORDAN IM HOPING TO SEE ALOT MORE COLORWAYS AND BRANDAN I LIKE WHERE YOU COMING FROM WITH THE HISTORY CUZ ALOT OF PEOPLE DO NOT KNO THE FACTS BUT HE WORE THE XVII LOWS IN THE ALLSTAR GAME IN 02
