During a Los Angeles Lakers game on Martin Luther King Jr. Day in 2009, the legendary NBA player Kobe Bryant chose to sport the Nike Kobe 4 ‘MLK’. This particular basketball shoe marked Bryant's venture into the world of low-top silhouettes. Its design showcases a white synthetic base adorned with Flywire cables for additional support, while the toe exhibits a captivating gradient Varsity Purple finish. Adding a striking contrast, the Swoosh and collar are accented with pops of metallic gold, whereas the collar itself boasts a discreet snakeskin texture.
