Work out until you blackout. There was a point in Kobe’s career when his hellish 666 workout routine (2 hours running, 2 hours of basketball, and 2 hours weightlifting for 6 days a week, 6 months a year) was revered around the league and instilled fear in any defender that guarded him. His latest Nike Kobe 10 “Blackout” makes a clever mention of his work ethic without being all black either, as a Persian Violet mesh base coincides with a translucent purple midsole unit. Throw in a black Swoosh and tongue, and this Lakers ‘Away’ inspiration continues the tenth signature’s formidable run in the new year. Be on the lookout for this Kobe 10 to arrive at select retailers on 2/21 for $180 and know that you can always try your luck early on eBay.
