The Collection: Zoom Kobe IV Carpe Diem edition

In the Chinese zodiac, the Ox is the sign of prosperity through hard work and dedication. A person born under this sign is a born leader, destined to achieve great things.

For Kobe Bryant, every second counts. Through endless training, practice and on-court adjustments, he's constantly maximizing his performance on his way to being one of the greatest to ever play the game. To continue shaving milliseconds off his game, Kobe's introducing the new Zoom Kobe IV in a special Carpe Diem edition, the lightest and quickest basketball shoe in Nike history.

This revolutionary low cut basketball shoe takes weight off the foot by removing excess material around the ankle. By using Nike's Flywire technology the shoe is even light and stronger, while the Lunar Foam cushions the ride. Patent leather mamba skin covers the toe box and heel while the herringbone outsole features a special venom drip pattern. And to bring it all back to KB's dedication to improvement, the tongue is stamped with the Ox, a reminder that there's always work to be done.
