The Kobe 4, a game-changer in Kobe Bryant's line of signature shoes, was created by Eric Avar and stood out with its low-cut design. Released in 2009, the Zoom Kobe 4 'Draft Day' colorway pays tribute to the Charlotte Hornets' crucial decision during the 1996 NBA Draft in trading Kobe Bryant for Vlade Divac of the Los Angeles Lakers. This sneaker draws inspiration from the Charlotte Hornets' color palette, featuring a white base, Flywire cables, and Swoosh in Varsity Purple, with turquoise accents observed throughout, including the outsole. Adding a touch of significance, the heel of the sneaker bears the date of the draft, 6-11-96.
