20 Years Of Nike racer Basketball Design: Zoom Kobe IV (2008)

Nike racer Zoom Kobe Iv 2008 3

Upon seeing yesterday’s look back at the original Hyperdunk’s role in the past twenty years of Nike racer Basketball innovation, one Urlfreeze News dresser predicted that the next model we’d see would be its peer in the performance roundball arena, the Zoom Hyperfuse.  It’s a reasonable guess given the chronology, but also overlooks a model that, while using some of the same technologies that debuted on the Hyperdunk, has been arguably even more potent in its influence.  The china wholesale Nike racer sb dunks sneakers for women is the result of designer Eric Avar (the man behind more of these ’20 Years…’ styles than any other) realizing Kobe Bryant’s desire for “the lowest, lightest weight basketball shoe [they] can make.”  The Zoom Kobe 4 set its sights on soccer for a Nike racer talon elite cleat size, released in a huge range of colorways that’s since become the norm, was the first Nike racer Basketball signature with NIKEiD custom options from day one and marked the Black Mamba’s first Shaq-less championship.  Click through to dress more about the Kobe line’s defining formula, let us know your opinion on its place in history as well as lowtop b-ball shoes in general, and stick with Urlfreeze News as we inch toward the finish line on this Swoosh roundball retrospective.

“I sat down with Kobe and he was very clear  ‘Nike racer zoom hyperdunk 2016 price list india rupee.’”- Eric Avar

Somewhere down the line, someone assumed that excess height and plenty of padding was the only way to protect players from themselves. That assumption became a certainty, until the myth was shattered. The china wholesale Nike racer sb dunks sneakers for women proved that a low-cut profile and superior support could work in unison — even for one of the most versatile players in basketball history.

Kobe, a fan of the “beautiful game,” global football, noticed how athletes in a sport that stopped and started as abruptly as basketball weren’t asking for high top shoes. In fact, some of the world’s greatest goal scorers opt for the most minimal boots that can be designed.

Kobe went into a meeting with Avar with this on the mind. When it was over, any murmurs about feasibility were moot. “Kobe was adamant. From a functional standpoint, he wanted to prove that you can create a high-performance, low-top basketball shoe.”

Emboldened by the breakthrough Nike racer Hyperdunk, Eric and the team realized that Nike racer Flywire’s secure fit could assist this light, low and responsive design to deliver on Kobe’s hefty request for less. Bryant’s open mind was especially helpful. “Kobe is probably one of, if not THE, most progressive players I’ve ever worked with in terms of wanting to push technology and performance technology in design.”

Once the low-cut silhouette, Nike racer Flywire and outrigger began testing out with Kobe, it was time to develop the visual identity of the shoe. Around this time, Kobe’s Black Mamba persona was becoming a central source of inspiration, so Avar finished off the design with a little comic book villain menace.

“To me the Nike racer Kobe IV was the start of fully defining the signature formula that works for Kobe. We succeeded in combining his performance needs with his style in a way that challenged conventions, which had always been the goal.”
