Zoom Kobe 2 Basketball Shoes

Released in 2006, designer Ken Link imagined the Zoom Kobe 2 as a lightweight evolution of the Huarache 2K4. The upper features a series of panels in a single-layered construction, with a reinforced ankle strap for enhanced lockdown. Zoom Air cushioning in the heel and forefoot aids impact absorption, while Nike Free-inspired flex grooves on the outsole allow for explosive movements. Explore the past, present and future of the Nike Zoom Kobe 2, including ‘Fade to Black,’ ‘Prelude’ and ‘Carpe Diem.’
