Zoom Kobe IV No Flywire (NFW)

While I was never a tremendous fan of the Zoom Kobe IV, it seemed to be very well-received this season, with many calling it the best signature NBA shoe. Well now a Zoom Kobe IV NFW has popped up, basically a Zoom Kobe IV sans flywire, and it’s a pretty marked improvement over the original Kobe IV. Additional alterations include a Kobe logo rather than the Swoosh on the outsole, no snakeskin, and of course a more substantial, stitched Swoosh. Not sure this will ever get a release, but there’s an outside chance. Many more detailed close-ups after the jump. Via oneonenine, solecollector.com forum.
