2K4 and 2K5 are two shoe models named after Nike. 2k5 can be called an upgraded version of 2K4. The biggest difference between them is that 2K5 uses the concept of Free technology. In other aspects, it is There is no difference.
It is rumored that the Nike Zoom Kobe 4, which returns in 2019, will be released in the Hornets color scheme, which is often referred to as the "Draft Day" color scheme. The white tone is matched with blue and purple embellishment elements, and the whole body is full of old Hornets. It has a team atmosphere and is a very popular color scheme among all Kobe boots in the past.
The configuration of the first-year Nike Zoom Kobe 4 is Lunarlite in the forefoot and zoom in the rear. The actual performance is relatively good. I was lucky enough to wear a pair of ZK4 from the first year. The cushioning feedback of ZK4 is indeed stronger.
The field feel and starting feedback of the forefoot are also quite good. The only regret is that the outsole is not very wear-resistant, and the carbon plate in the middle of the foot can also provide good anti-torsion performance.
Judging from this year’s reissue of the Nike Zoom Kobe 1 Protro, perhaps the Nike Zoom Kobe 4 that will return in 2019 may also be re-presented in the form of an upgraded version.
If the half-palm Zoom configuration is upgraded to a full-palm Zoom, or the forefoot Lunarlite is upgraded to React, I believe it will be a pretty good improvement. Next, let’s see what Nike will bring to the community. What a surprise!
Next, I will bring you news about the Nike Zoom Huarache 2K5 reissue! The Kobe FTB series launched by Nike in 2016 has actually reissued many of the boots worn by Kobe Bryant. Carved on one side.
However, what is disappointing is that 2K5 is not included in the re-release. The decision to skip 2k5 directly from 2k4 and launch zk1 also puzzles many old fans.
However, between 2004 and 2006, 2k5’s status was indeed in an awkward position. The Eagle County incident was at the height of its popularity, and Nike’s plan to launch a signature shoe for Kobe Bryant was also at a low level. A state of no inferiority.
At that time, 2k5 was more like a league team sneaker. Its status was more similar to today's Hyperdunk series, and it existed as a top-level practical shoe.
In the later PE version, Kobe’s personal elements were even richer, and Kobe’s iconic trident LOGO also appeared for the first time on 2k5.
Compared with 2k4, the configuration of 2k5 is more in line with the name of "flagship" practical shoes. The 2k5, which was priced at 1250 in the first year, has super front and rear Zoom, carbon plate, Huarache, and Free forefoot technology. configuration.
Even today, the configuration of 2k5 is unparalleled, and the large area of ????leather material also makes its texture and packaging quite outstanding.
There are different opinions on why 2k5 has not been re-released after so many years. One of the more common theories is that Nike lost the 2k5 mold.
This statement is not very reliable. If it is true, it is recommended to borrow a set from a factory in a certain replica holy land. After all, there are really a lot of people waiting for the 2k5 replica!
