One of the trending topics in 2012 is the re-release of the Nike Zoom Huarache 2k4, an era-defining sneaker considered by many to be one of Nike’s greatest on-court creations of all-time. It directed the Nike Basketball line into the direction of sleeker, sexier lines that we see manifested in current editions like the Nike Hyperdunk series and other Zoom Hyper products, so while the Huarache 2k4 never did release again since its coming-out yet in 2004, the spirit of the shoe continued to live on. Of course, news of the Retro was definitely exciting news, but it also brings to light some sick PEs from the past that you may have forgotten about, like this Penny Hardaway PE that he wore during his brief stint as a New Yorker. It features the do-no-wrong colorway of Black/Orange/Blue with his One-Cent logo embedded onto the heels for that personalized touch. We’ve got extra images for you below so take a gander and see what the asking price in this listing from joeal0227 on eBay.

The 2003-2004 NBA Season was the beginning to a major change for the Los Angeles franchise. It was the last season that Kobe and Shaq would be teammates, and it would be the last NBA Finals appearance for Kobe until he returned in 2008. It was also the year that Kobe consistently rocked Nike shoes, wearing the Zoom Huarache 2k4 in various PE colorways during the regular season and in the NBA Finals – the famed ’5-game sweep’ at the hands of the Detroit Pistons. Although not an original colorway of the H2K4, this Black/Yellow colorway would have cracked Kobe’s ’04 rotation due to the simple Black/Yellow colorway – all it needs is a Kobe Shozoku logo on the heel! Don’t count on Bryant wearing these in the regular system because he’s got the Kobe System to support his feet, but don’t be surprised if you see these on the feet of his teammates! Check out the new detailed images below and stick with Sneaker News for release information. via kickz-lab.

While most of the sports world was focused on the NFL Divisional Playoff games over the weekend, there were still a number of headlines made by the NBA. Kobe Bryant continued his streak of 40-point games while wearing the Nike Zoom Kobe VII, and Monta Ellis strengthened his campaign as this year’s Gilbert Arenas as he was spotted rocking the Air Jordan XI ‘Space Jam’. Teammate and fellow sneakerhead Nate Robinson rotated the Air Jordan XIII ‘Playoffs’ and Nike Air Max2 CB ’94. Ray Allen rocked the Air Jordan XIII ‘Ray Allen PE’ against the Bulls, Rudy Gay and Andre Iguodala sported the Nike Zoom Hyperenforcer (releasing this February), and Timofey Mosgov of the Nuggets shined in the Nike Zoom Huarache 2K4. In the PE corner, Lamarcus Aldridge rocked Silver/Black/Red Air Max Hyperdunk 2011s, LeBron broke out the red/black PE, and Chris Paul showed off a new Clipper-centric CP3.V Check out all the NBA action below and stick with us for more NBA Feet coverage! via Yahoo!.

For the younger demographic of the Black Mamba faithful – did you know that the Nike Zoom Huarache 2k4 was supposed to be his first signature shoe? Timing’s everything and for Nike to put out a sig shoe bearing Kobe’s name wasn’t exactly the best move at the time, but Kobe still rocked the super-comfy Zoom Huarache 2k4 with pride. It wasn’t until 2006 that we would see the first official Nike Kobe shoe, but Kobe historians often point to the H2K4 (considered to be one of the greatest Nike basketball products of all-time) as the official start to the Kobe legacy. Sneaker News brought good fortune to our readers when we reported the news of the re-release of the Zoom Huarache 2k4, and here we have a detailed look at a Black/Varsity Maize colorway that Kobe could definitely rock right now – although the superstitious would rather Kobe not change up his routine because he’s going nuts on the court right now. Check out the detailed angles below and let us know what you think of the colorway, and let us know if you’d like to see Kobe rock the Huarache 2k4 this season! via MarqueeSole.

In 2003, Kobe Bryant was officially added to the exclusive bunch of Nike signature athletes, joining the likes of Michael Jordan, Anfernee Hardaway, Charles Barkley, and more. The addition of Kobe, alongside the new acquisition of prep-to-pro prospect LeBron James, would mark a brand new era of Nike Basketball, one that has fortified Nike’s role as the pinnacle of performance basketball outfitting. It was in 2006 when a Nike shoe would officially bear Kobe Bryant’s name, but it was originally the Nike Zoom Huarache 2k4 that was set to be the starting point to a long-lasting partnership; following the Zoom Huarache 2k4 was the 2k5 version, which paved the way for Kobe’s official introduction as a Nike signature athlete in 2006 with the release of the Air Zoom Kobe 1.
Since that ’06 debut, we’ve seen Nike accomplish hat it had set out to do when it first brought on the Lakers superstar; six more installments as well as the Nike Zoom Hyperdunk (another ‘unofficial’ Kobe shoe), with the game-changing Kobe System setting new precedents in basketball footwear and design. So by our count, it’s ten shoes for Kobe thus far, and there’s no end in sight just yet. It’s not often we get to see all ten shoes bunched together, but thanks to wmsky of Kenlu, we’re given a nice side-by-side comparison of the Kobe V, VI, and VII as well as a unique look at original vs. current Kobe model. Check out some of the nice visuals after the jump and let us know which Nike Kobe shoe is your favorite of all-time.

This past Tuesday was the biggest one for the Nike Air Zoom Huarache 2K4 during the entire time Sneaker News has been online. This modern classic showed up first as part of the Nike USAB Pack celebrating previous summer Olympic Games and then again alongside a highlighter-like pair covered in Volt. Turns out that second pair was a sign of things to come, as now we see that each of the four models from the USAB set have been reproduced in black and Volt for another upcoming pack for Q3 2012. Along with the Huarache 2K4s, expect the Nike Air Force 180, Air More Uptempo and Shox BB4, fittingly done primarily in black, leaving the Huaraches as the sole all-Volt design (2004 being the only Olympics of these four that didn’t result in US gold). Click through to view each pair, and let us know how these compare to the USAB joints, as well as which single design is the best among them.

Nothing like a heap of NCAA Feet on-court fire to get your week going. NCAA players nationwide have displayed their attention to sneaker detail quite well, and it’s always the usual suspects that bring the most to the table. Syracuse, San Diego State, and UConn are always rockin’ some fresh heat, and the trio of LeBron-outfitted schools have their own Nike LeBron 9 PE’s to show off. Jordan Brand affiliated UNC has some nice PEs of the Jordan Fly Wade and the Jordan CP3.V, but don’t forget Duke’s variety with the Air Jordan XII and Nike Zoom Huarache 2k4. There’s a ton to see below – the Air Jordan III, Air Jordan VII, Air Jordan XI, Nike Zoom Kobe VI, and adidas adiZero Rose 2.0 – so enjoy this sick collection of in-game shots from the past week and let us know which school rocks the best heat! via ESPN.
