Today, the Nikestore.com team announced that the Nike Zoom KD IV Year of the Dragon colorway will be releasing on Nikestore.com at Midnight Eastern Time on February 3rd. It was first thought that the KD IV Year of the Dragon would be a China only release, so this is great news for fans of this colorway.

Expect this to be a very limited release. However, remember that you can also customize your own version of the KD IV Year of the Dragon on January 31st on NIKEiD.

Yesterday, we told you about Kevin’s Nike Zoom KD IV signature shoe hitting NIKEiD on January 31st. Today it was announced that you will also be able to customize your own color palate for the popular Year of the Dragon KD IV on January 31st. Are you planning to customize a pair of KD IV Year of the Dragons on NIKEiD?

Here’s a look at the packaging for the KD IV Year of the Dragon release.

Check out the official photos of the Nike Zoom KD IV Year of the Dragon. KD was born in a year of the dragon, and he demonstrates dragon-like power on the court. As 2012 is the year of water dragon, the Nike Basketball design team incorporates an array of water elements into the NIKE ZOOM KD IV.

The signature strap, in combination with the wave pattern on the tongue and the laser-etched blue shadows, creates a rippling effect. The water dragon surrounding the KD logo on the counter highlights oriental association. The whole piece is dominated by light blue and light mango, symbolic of thunder.

Look for the KD IV Year of the Dragon to release in China this week.

Nike and KD are not playing around with the Nike Zoom KD IV. Earlier this week we showed you the awesome Zoom KD IV NERF colorway that will be dropping sometime next month. Today we’re giving you a sneak peek of the KD IV “Year of the Dragon” colorway.

KD IV lead designer Leo Chang was caught wearing these at KD’s charity game in OKC this weekend. Stay tuned for the release date of the Year of the Dragon colorway as well as all of the hot KD IV colorways Nike plans to release.
