Kobe Bryant’s next signature shoe, the Nike Kobe A.D., is slated to release later this November and after an official unveiling, today we get the Black Mamba’s own thoughts on the Kobe AD courtesy of an unboxing from Jacques Slade.

Nike Basketball is trying to embody the ‘Mamba Mentality’ with this silhouette even though Kobe has retired for good. That means technological advancements in Lunarlon and Zoom Air have all been refined and perfected to push this silhouette to an entirely new level of performance. Kobe states that the Nike Kobe AD is all about precision and efficiency and even speaks on the evolution of the design process.

Check out the full video below full of exclusive Kobe quotes, his thoughts on retirement, and stay tuned for the debut colorway of the Nike Kobe AD to arrive at retailers on November 22nd for $160 USD.
