Kobe 4 Protro Draft Day Men's'
The ZK4 has a special meaning for Bryant on draft day. It was inspired by Bryant being drafted by the Charlotte Hornets with the 13th pick in the first round in 1996, and the shoe's design features retro color scheme based on the Hornets' jerseys at the time. It was the most innovative technology at the time. It was the prototype of the flying line technology. The flying line was embedded in the plastic upper, which made it the lightest basketball shoe at that time. The toe is a long-worn leather, which feels comfortable and doesn't hurt your feet. It also brings with it a problem: it's very breathable, creases easily and is not easy to manage. The shoe body is a conventional inner shoe design, and the wrapping feeling is good after tying the shoelace. However, because the cheap kobe shoe tongue is thin, the friends with high arch will press the instep, and the tightness of the shoelace needs to be adjusted. Tongue above the sword shield LOGO, still so beautiful, mesh breathable tongue, although not very breathable, but feel encapsulation is still very good. The lace part of the pattern echoes the Wasp theme, the design of the wave point, of course, can also be seen from this point of view, the original fly line is indeed very different from the present.
For that reason, Bryant used this draft-day color scheme to motivate himself to keep improving. The design of the soles is similar to spiderweb radioactivity. The blue part is crystal bottom, and the white part is ordinary rubber bottom. With traditional herringbone pattern, the grip is quite good. The soles have thick carbon plates that add arch support in addition to providing good torsion resistance. In order to not lose flexibility, the side part of the shoe added grooves to facilitate foot bending. The top PT version of ZK4 on the show day still uses the OG shoe design, and the non-copied version of the reduced design, uses the Cage Zoom of Lunarlite on the front and back. The upper foot can feel obvious soft elastic, and when pressed down on the back foot, it has strong elasticity and visible deformation.
"Zoom Kobe 4 Protro 'Draft Day" pays homage to the Charlotte Hornets, the team that drafted Bryant in the first place. Released for the 2019 All-Star Game in Charlotte, North Carolina, the shoe features the team's white, Hunter blue and school purple color scheme throughout the performance structure, which includes a supportive Flywire cable and external heel counter. Zoom Air provided the cushion, and the draft date - and the subsequent trade that sent him to the Los Angeles Lakers - appeared on the heel.
