The Nike Air Zoom Huarache 2K4 Kobe Bryant wore while on the USA Olympic squad has just released over at Ruvilla, and JimmyJazz. They sport the classic White upper with Red and Blue accents, Zoom Air in the heel and a Met Zoom unit in the forefoot. Carbon fiber, and some pretty decent traction. You can get the full scoop on their performance here… man, that was a long time ago.
Let me know if you grab a pair, and if you did; do you plan on playing in them?
i still wear my white and purple pair maybe once a week when they retroed them however many years ago. Ill probably get another pair i love these shoes
This was one of the first shoes that really got me into performance driven hoops shoes. Not that they weren’t performance-driven before but this seemed like a reinvigoration of a super nice fitting and feeling model. I liked these so much that I stretched them two full ball seasons. Should have picked up a back-up at the time of the originals
Will definitely be grabbing a pair eventually.
Would probably take Kobes or the hyperdunk line over these on the Nike side but these were definitely a joy when you broke them in.
All IMO of course
Oh and whoever has been saying their ankles were compromised in these, I can’t deny what happened to someone else, but I’m very surprised. THought how they did the heel cup was almost perfect on these for lockdown
