With the original colorways, the limited editions and the new team options, one might not think there&#8217;d be any more colors to use or achievements to highlight. Well, it looks like that would be a poor assumption to make, as pics have surfaced recently of this Kobe IV Championship\/Gold Medal sneaker.<\/p>\n<p>This model still uses the familiar Flywire technology in white and gold, laid next to a white leather toe and heel. Two areas pay tribute to Kobe&#8217;s &#8220;Black Mamba&#8221; nickname, seen in the snake logo on the insides and snakeskin wrapping around the heel. The snakeskin is gold on the outsides, fading into red on the insides of each shoe. On the heel, where we&#8217;re accustomed to seeing Kobe&#8217;s number &#8220;24,&#8221; this model breaks from form, partly, as one features his Olympic number (10). The two-number trick is used on the insoles, too. Finally, the outsoles are blue, keeping with the red, white and blue (and gold) theme we&#8217;ve seen on Olympic shoes before.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s unlikely that these will ever make it to production, especially a year after the U.S. captured gold and months after Kobe got his fourth ring, but these are still an innovative and fitting tribute.<\/p>\n<p>Click here for more pics.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_44610\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44610\" style=\"width: 570px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-44610\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nike Zoom Kobe IV NBA Championship\/Gold Medal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_44609\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44609\" style=\"width: 570px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-44609\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nike Zoom Kobe IV NBA Championship\/Gold Medal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_44612\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44612\" style=\"width: 570px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-44612\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nike Zoom Kobe IV NBA Championship\/Gold Medal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_44616\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44616\" style=\"width: 570px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-44616\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nike Zoom Kobe IV NBA Championship\/Gold Medal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_44611\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44611\" style=\"width: 570px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-44611\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nike Zoom Kobe IV NBA Championship\/Gold Medal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_44613\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44613\" style=\"width: 570px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-44613\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nike Zoom Kobe IV NBA Championship\/Gold Medal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_44615\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44615\" style=\"width: 570px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-44615\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nike Zoom Kobe IV NBA Championship\/Gold Medal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_44614\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44614\" style=\"width: 570px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-44614\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nike Zoom Kobe IV NBA Championship\/Gold Medal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_44618\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44618\" style=\"width: 570px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-44618\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nike Zoom Kobe IV NBA Championship\/Gold Medal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_44617\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44617\" style=\"width: 570px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-44617\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nike Zoom Kobe IV NBA Championship\/Gold Medal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Zoom Kobe IV has been a staple of Nike and Kobe&#8217;s arsenal for some time now.
