Nike Zoom Kobe IV

Boards for the Nike Kobe IV sneaker promo. This promo piece was intended to play on the Kobe IV micro-site, within the Nike Basketball website, which you can check out here.

On the Kobe IV microsite users can watch video clips of behind the making of the Kobe IV. Kobe refers to a Black Mamba snake as a metaphor of his style of play on the court. To add a personal touch to Kobe's sneaker, a Black Mamba snake skin texture was added to the heel cup of the sneaker. The Black Mamba snake became my theme behind the design.
