Welcome back to this blog.
So summer is over and my Nike Zoom BB kicks weared off quite a bit during the daily summer basketball routine. Looking at online Nike store shelves I only found 1 interesting model for me and it is Zoom Kobe IV. It’s nice you can customise and make your basketball shoes really unique with NIkeID.
I’ve got really amazed at how much variations you can make and at last decided to count how many different pairs of shoes I can create. It ended up at an astonishing number of nearly 13 billion combinations. If you want to know how I got this number here’s the calculations.
Below is a list of various shoe parts that can be customised with your color of choice:
- Vamp: 13 colors
- Tip and Heel (Reptile Patent + Synthetic leather) 6+13 colors
- Quarter and tongue: 4 colors
- Collar: 13 colors
- Flywire: 7 colors
- Swoosh and Kobe logo: 10 colors
- Heel counter: 5 colors
- Collar lining: 11 colors
- Midsole and Swoosh Border: 2 colors
- Forefoot outsole: 10 colors
- Lace: 13 colors
So If stochastic lesson at school was right there should be 13*(6+13)*4*13*7*10*5*11*2*10*13 = 12.856.844.000 combinations.
I don’t even considered collar and heel IDs because total combinations would end up in astronomical numbers.
So in conclusion every Earth citizen can have at least 2 different Zoom Kobe IV Basketball Shoes. However not everyone is playing basketball in the world.

Nike also has a feature to save your shoes as a wallpaper to remind buy them soon. No I only have to find that $140 which kicks are currently retailing.
