Are you missing Kobe Bryant yet? While the Black Mamba is done playing professionally, we can’t help but remember the past two USA Men’s National basketball teams with Kobe running the show. He almost single-handedly won the Redeem Team’s Gold Medal against Spain in the 2008 Olympics and his strong international play contributed to his lasting legacy in other countries. Now NikeLab is sending a quick reminder in the form of what could be summer’s premier Kobe release – this NikeLab Kobe 11 Brazil slated to release August 6th.
The incredibly limited offering showcases the Kobe 11 Elite at its finest. A crisp all-white construction combines breathable Flyknit with a synthetic snakeskin leather on the Swoosh and heel. A nod to the Brazilian flag is subtly represented through the Swoosh’s contrasting yellow piping and a blue insole for good measure. What do you think of this Kobe 11 Brazil release?
Check out more photos after the break and know that this Olympic-themed Kobe release will arrive at select shops in limited quantities this Saturday, August 6th.
