These were the first shoes I've ever played in from Kobe since Nike started sponsoring him. I wasn't a big fan of the Kobe 1,2, and 3 (and Hyperdunk PE) due to their high cut nature. But since the introduction of fly wire, when the 4's debuted, they were the lightest basketball shoe on the market. Flex isn't that great but weight, agility, grip, and tread were all very strong features of the Nike Zoom Kobe IV's. Once the shoe had been broken in and I no longer cared if I creased the toes, I played harder in them. I have played in these shoes at the park countless of times and it still shows a little tread left. These were my go to pair since I was confident in its performance. I had bought my first pair of Kobe V's by the time I decided to play on my spidermans. Of course I wouldn't play in a shoe without having a spare. I have the Lakers Home colorway as my backup walking and casual shoe which was also the first colorway I picked up. Overall, great all around shoe. Definitely a shoe for the 1 and 2 positions. I would rate it a 9/10.
