The Nike Air Zoom Huarache 2K4, originally released in 2004, is remembered as one of the greatest Nike shoe designs in the company’s history. The shoe was, in large part, purpose built for Kobe Bryant, a poster boy of the NBA’s new breed of explosive and versatile players. The shoe had a lightweight Phylon sole, Nike Zoom responsiveness, a formfitting leather/suede upper and an evolved version of the ankle strap.
