The Kobe 4 sneaker was created by Eric Avar and Tom Luedecke, showcasing a range of innovative features. Its upper is constructed with Flywire technology, providing lightweight and supportive wear. The shoe is also equipped with Zoom Air cushioning, ensuring responsive and comfortable wear. Another notable feature is the modified herringbone traction pattern, which enhances grip and stability. This specific model, known as the Zoom Kobe 4 ‘MPLS’, pays homage to the Minneapolis Lakers, who played a pivotal role in establishing the Lakers’ franchise back in 1947. The team wore jerseys that proudly displayed ‘MPLS’ across the front. The sneaker itself boasts a stylish Stealth Grey upper, complemented by University Blue accents. The design is further enhanced by a white midsole and a translucent University Blue outsole, creating a visually appealing and functional shoe.
