He may have escaped Shaq's massive shadow, but it will take two more Larry O'Brien Trophies before Kobe Bryant can enter the 'Jordan'stratosphere. It's unquestionable that Michael's unmatched brilliance drives Kobe, clear that Air Jordan made a mark on Jellybean Bryant's boy from a young age. When heleft adidas back in 2003, KB24 wore a ton of different shoes, including a wide variety of Air Jordanretros.

The following year, he signed with Nike and helped them revive the Huarache line. The samples pictured above, then, are a glimpse into a summer romancethat never was. The Nike Air Zoom Huarache2K4' x Air Jordan XI is one of those things we'd assume will never hit shelves, except for Nike's recent zeal towards hybrid models. It's actually pretty straightforward, with a simple white, black and red Huarache 2K4 upper connected to an AJXI sole that is conspicuous by its use of anopque black outsole. Take a look at the photos after the jump and let us know if you would have bought these. via Kenlu

whats the point? at least their hybrids take design cues from different shoes and make a new shoe. it doesnt actually take half of one shoe and half of anotherand put them together.
 
was kinda hyped when i saw the title. these are ugly. didn't know the huarache 2k4 were those.
 
these are likely wear-test samples to test the 2k4 upper. For those that remember, when flywire was introduced we also saw the XI sole testing the flywireupper.

I remember seeing that video.
 
Why was Kobes name mentioned? The 2k4s was actually originally designed as a football shoe for Michael Vick
 
2k4s made for vick,for some reason that just blew my mind and made all the sense in the world at the same time.
 
With all these negative comments, one can only assume that they're all ignorant.

- Huarache 2k4 was Kobe Bryant's first Nike shoe hence the 2004, way before they were made football cleats and available on eastbay
- the wear test sample is NOT a hybrid, in 2004 this idea of hybrid didn't exist
- the Air Jordan XI was one of the shoes that inspired the H2K4's. For functionality or aesthetics purposes the Nike video posted on nikebasketball didmake reference to this.
- these pictures belong to a kenlu'er who happens to be a member of this board. (un-educated people these days just snatch info and get all the credit)
 
The two shoes dont flow....... but if they have full length air like the XI's i would like to try them on.
 
It's crazy to see so many bad looking shoes nowadays, for awhile now... Thank god these are test samples

Negative...They even had fake 2K4's on ebay with the #8 on the heel counter, as was the original planbefore he got his therapist badging. Anyone vaguely familiar knows that both the 2K4 and 2K5 were unofficially Kobe's shoe. Hell, they even put his nameon the Laser 2K4 and select colors of the 2K5.
