With the All-Star lights shining bright on the city of Los Angeles in mid-February, Nike Basketball is positioning itself to dominate the weekend festivities with an unbeatable arsenal of must-have sneaker releases. Going heavy on Retro footwear once again, the Swoosh is bringing back Kobe Bryant’s Nike Zoom Huarache 2k4 “All-Star”, bridging past and present as the star-studded exhibition program returns to LA.
Official images of the upcoming February 2026 release have surfaced, revealing a true-to-the-original re-craft of the original 2004 pair. White leather uppers are paired with royal blue toe-guards and heel, while a full red dominates the midsole for that timeless Huarache 2k4 build. Nike’s even keeping the details consistent with the “2-15-2004” embroidery on the inner ankle (which commemorates the date of the 2004 All-Star Game), the “LA” logo on the upper angle, the royal blue shoe-bag with the same LA logo, and the custom shoe-box.
Sneaker News first reported the return of the LA All-Star Huarache 2k4 last June.
A firm release date hasn’t been announced yet, but it is very likely that these will launch during the second full week in February leading up to the 2026 All-Star Game on February 15th.
