Nike Zoom Kobe Venomenon 4 - Tag | SneakerNews.com。The shoes in the image are likely the Nike Zoom Kobe Venomenon 4 in the \"Court Purple/Volt\" colorway. The \"story\" behind the Venomenon line is rooted in its origin as a model specifically tailored for the Asian market, and its eventual journey to a global release.  Asia-Exclusive Origins: The Venomenon series was initially created by Nike as an off-shoot, China-only line. The intent was to provide a durable and high-performing basketball shoe for a demographic that frequently played basketball outdoors.  Design and Technology: The shoes incorporated popular Nike technologies like Hyperfuse, Flywire, and Zoom Air cushioning, offering a similar feel to Kobe Bryant\'s main signature line but in a package better suited for outdoor court use.  Global Demand: Due to growing demand and interest in the US, Nike eventually decided to give the Zoom Kobe Venomenon 4 a hard launch in North America in January 2014, making the line available to a wider audience.  Kobe\'s Connection: Kobe Bryant himself wore shoes from the Venomenon line during promotional tours in Asia, further linking him to this specific series.
