The shoe is mostly black with shiny chrome piecing on top of the upper, above a layer of nubuck. The boot-laces, a few Swooshes, and the inside of the max air unit are purple.

Can’t wait for the next Zoom Kobe IV in navy/red? It just hit LA and Chicago House of Hoops locations, and should be in Harlem on Monday. This will release at Foot Locker as well, but later in September.

One interesting move on this Kobe IV color-up that makes it different from all the others is translucent piecing on the outsole only at the forefoot. The “Carpe Diem” Zoom Kobe IV had translucent “ice” outsole piecing but it extended from toe to heel. Check the extra shots after the jump.
