NIKE, NIKE KOBE IV, SIZE 14

Rubber, Leather, Cotton, Synthetic

2009

Acquired through a private collector with ties to the Lakers organization; signed by Bryant at a camp attended by the consignor. Photographic documentation of consignor and Bryant.

Produced in 2009 to coincide with the Los Angeles Lakers' championship run, the Nike Zoom Kobe 4 "Finals MVP" was designed in the Lakers' home colorway: a white base with Concord and metallic gold accents, purple laces, and scribble-like graphics on the toe box and collar referencing Kobe's statistics from that season, including his 61-point performance against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.


Associated with the 2009 NBA Finals, in which Kobe Bryant led the Lakers to a five-game victory over the Orlando Magic, claiming his fourth NBA championship and his first NBA Finals MVP award, the shoe marked a pivotal moment in his signature line, widely regarded by players and collectors as one of the most performance-driven basketball shoes ever made.


The left shoe bears Kobe Bryant's signature, authenticated by JSA.


Presented in size 14, consistent with Kobe Bryant's known shoe size, this example is offered from a private collection.
