Released in 2005, the Nike Zoom Kobe 1 was the inaugural signature shoe of Kobe Bryant in partnership with Nike. The 2006 Nike Zoom Kobe 1 ‘Orca’ edition derives its moniker from its striking resemblance to the distinctive black and white pattern of a killer whale. This edition showcases a remarkable combination of a full-grain leather upper in black, highlighted by white accents, while ensuring breathability through its collar, reinforced stability with carbon fiber heel counter, and enhanced performance with Zoom Air units in both the forefoot and heel. The shoe provides exceptional traction, courtesy of its solid rubber outsole featuring a herringbone pattern.
