Kobe Bryant

One of the most dangerous players in the game's history, Kobe Bryant has earned his "Black Mamba" nickname. From a sneaker standpoint, he's almost just as important. After spending years an adidas endorsor and signature athlete, Bryant spent one year as a free agent before inking a deal with Nike.

The Nike Zoom Kobe 1, 2 and 3 were all successful, but the Zoom Kobe IV changed the was we thinking about sneakers for good. A low top, the Zoom Kobe IV set in motion a trend that continues to this day and led to the creation of models such as the Hyperdunk Low, Zoom Hyperfuse Low, Zoom Go Low and more. The Zoom Kobe V and VI share a similar silhouette to with IV. As one of the best players ever and sneaker all-star, Bryant can be seen daily in Kicks On Court.
