Top 10 Nike Women's Shoes in Black and Gold for 2024

ZK4 Black Mamba Colorway Experience Appearance: The all-black 'Black Samurai' has always been a classic colorway for Kobe's sneakers, and it's easy to keep clean. However, the snake print on the front might get scratched after some wear. [Sweat] Cushioning: The forefoot feels just right—not too soft, not too hard. The heel has noticeable shock absorption, which feels really comfortable. Jumping for dunks feels effortless! [Facepalm] Fit and Support: The early Flywire design isn't as snug as the newer independent Flywire, so it doesn't hug your feet tightly. At first, the toes feel a bit cramped, and the right foot presses on the pinky toe, but once you start running, there's no discomfort. I'd recommend going half a size up or breaking them in before serious play. Breathability is decent, thanks to the low-top design. Traction and Durability: I've played on the court shown in the pictures four times now, and the traction is excellent—lots of squeaking sounds. The outsole has some minor peeling, but since I mostly play indoors, durability isn't a big concern, especially since it's not a translucent sole. [Dog head] Summary: Unless you have specific needs, I think the Kobe 4 is a great all-around shoe for guards or forwards, no matter the position. [RESPECT]lg...More

I just couldn't resist the allure of the Black Mamba's design. I had already bought a pair of Kobe 4s in the Gigi colorway on Poizon, and they were absolutely stunning and versatile. Compared to the 5s, 6s, and 8s, the Kobe 4s have a more forgiving fit. I have average-width feet, and I didn't experience any pinching, whereas with the 5s, I had to go up half a size or even a full size. The Kobe 4s are also the most balanced for actual play. Once broken in, the slight heel-to-toe drop feels really comfortable. Even if you're not playing basketball, they're great for everyday wear. The black color is very stain-resistant, and the black logo allows for some DIY color customization, making them a fun pair of Kobe shoes. A friendly tip for those with wider feet: make sure to try them on first! 😍lg...More
