Prior to the conclusion of Kobe Bryant's NBA journey, Nike paid tribute to his notable accomplishments through the introduction of the 'Fade to Black' collection. This collection featured an assortment of distinct silhouettes, with each subsequent release adopting a progressively darker aesthetic. Among these was the Zoom Huarache 2K4, which served as Kobe's inaugural signature silhouette with Nike. Boasting an all-white perforated leather upper, this shoe proudly showcases the iconic Mamba logo on its side. Additionally, the custom leather hang-tag features Kobe's logo as a homage to his Nike legacy's inception throughout the 2003-04 NBA season.
