It's definietly in the top ten for me. It doesnt quite have the history of the XI, the Chuck Taylor or Air Force 1 or the Dunk but it's definitely a legendary shoe in its own right and its legend will continue to grow as kobe wins more championships. It's definitely a better shoe for basketball that the foamposite which was #6 (I think) but a lot of people probably wouldnt put the ZK4 ahead of it cuz it's still a new shoe and penny's, especially foams, are one of the most popular shoes in the sneaker world. Would you guys put it ahead of such jordans as the III, IV, V, and VI (all of which made the list)? |
what a post for a new member. gg.
I would think it'd rank up to the 3 and the 4 of the AJ as far as height of the ankle is concerned. As for performance wise, I believe that the ZKIV outperforms every Jordan except the 11s and the 23s. Not sure though, just my IMO. I've heard that the AJ23 was a great shoe on the court and my 11s are really great also. But that's a whole different story.
The IV most def should make its way onto that 100 if it came to a sig shoe from kobe. those are just my thoughts..  |
for me i would place it above the xx3's...alot because of the fact that the kobe iv just gives you so much more freedom and i feel like the traction on the iv is better then the xx3s...dont get me wrong the xx3 was a great great shoe...well as long as you didnt have feet that too wide and wore double socks so the tpu wrap didnt destroy your pinky too...but for overall performance i give the nod to the kobe iv
versus the xi i cannot comment because the only xi i ever owned was an OG one and that was back when i was in the 8th grade so i remember nothing about it |

the XX3's had no room for people with wide feet to stretch...the material/plastic restricted any form of stretching to shape of feet. the IV's actually stretch after a while....i can't wear XX3's at all just because i have wide feet, but not even that wide cause IV's fit me fine.

have to say as per traction this is on par with the jordan xiv..not sure bout the rest of you guys and i love the xi but the best traction jordan is def the xiv! the kobeiv ranks right up there!!!
as per my personal list i would rank the kobeiv easily in my top ten no doubt!
