Although I’m routing for the Magic to pull this one off, after watching last night’s game slip away, it seemed fitting to give tribute to Kobe and the Lakers. In honor of the Kobe (and the Lakers’) run to the Finals this year, Nike has created a special edition version of the Zoom Kobe IV.

These kicks are adorned with strong gold lettering signifying an accomplishment from Kobe’s season thus far. Some of the standout stats include Kobe’s 61 point performance at Madison Square Garden and the 399 assists he had this season. These kicks have been worn by most of the Laker’s squad and it seems that these shoes have given the Lakers some extra umph as they’ve taken a strong series lead over the Magic - will we see a different color makeup when the series shifts to Orlando? We’ll find out in a couple days…
