both know that the sneakers of the two of them are very different from the scoreback Kobe , who is a small forward James :
In terms of style, in order to fit Kobe's agile and elegant style, most of the shoes of the Nike Zoom Kobe series are designed to be light and capable, while the Nike Zoom LeBron series is just the opposite, because the high-top and thick style are worthy of James' "violent aesthetics".
However, if you look at Kobe's first-generation combat boots Nike Zoom Kobe 1 Protro in Nike and the early fourth-generation combat boots Nike Zoom LeBron 4 in James' signature shoes, we can find a very strange thing, that is, there are some places that "coincidence" in Nike Zoom Kobe 1 Protro and Nike Zoom LeBron 4!
First of all, Nike Zoom Kobe 1 Protro and Nike Zoom LeBron 4 are both relatively thick high-top forms, which is very consistent with James, but not Kobe. But this is understandable, because it was only since Nike Zoom Kobe 4 that basketball shoes have developed a tradition of low-tops. At the beginning, the same high-top designs were designed based on the health of players.
Secondly and most importantly, Nike Zoom Kobe 1 Protro and Nike Zoom LeBron 4 are actually the same style! That’s right, when Nike designed the Nike Zoom Kobe 1 Protro and Nike Zoom LeBron 4, they copied the technological principle of a running shoe - Nike Free’s barefoot concept with sliced outsole!
Barfoot has long been around for Nike, and it was traced back to the 1989. At that time, Nike was inspired by the wooden toy snake and had the concept of barefoot. The advantage of designing barefoot as the concept is that, as the name suggests, it is to wear it on your feet like barefoot! It has a strong foldability and is very close to athletes' feet; therefore, it is a magical technology that is extremely in line with human dynamics.
In 2004, the first doubles were born in Barefoot Technology's running shoes Nike Free 5.0 V1, and then, Barefoot was successively used on various other shoe models. Now that 30 years have passed, barefoot is still one of Nike's facades. Just like this year's latest barefoot running shoes, Nike Free RN 5.0 and the replica Nike Zoom Kobe 1 "81 Points", it is still the hottest choice.
