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 he left adidas back in 2003, KB24 wore a ton of different shoes, including a wide variety of Air Jordan retros.
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 romance that never was. The Nike Air Zoom Huarache 2K4‘ 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 an opque black outsole. Take a look at the photos after the jump and let us know if you would have bought these. via Kenlu

Dudeeee zoom Kobe 4 and either a Jordan 3,4,5,6,7, or 11 combined into a hybrid. Two greatest NBA players ever, and their most popular shoe combined into 1.

The current fusion line isnt that bad, but if these ever released I would jap on Nike and JB for realeasing this super fugly shoe, who ever thought of these even just as a sample should have been suspended without pay for a while.

what the fuck

First the Air Yeezy x Air Jordan 6 and now this shit ,now its all making sense now JB is making variants and bootleg versions will soon follow. Thanks alot Nike and JB for putting ideas into the bootleggers market and you wonder why people buy Fakes its because you give it away by posting picks of samples like the one pictured above.
September 15th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
yeah i don’t think these will make it to retail.i hope nike and JB haven’t run out of ideas and are comtemplating making hybrids of every jordan with different nikes but i wouldnt be surprised.
September 15th, 2009 at 8:15 pm

One of my favorite balling shoes WITH one of thee best Jordan soles??? I’d cop in a nanosecond. Don’t care what folks say. I’m sure if it was carolina blue, elephant print and had icey soles, lots of opinions would change lol
