Kobe Bryant’s 12th signature silhouette, the Kobe AD, has made waves thanks to its sleek design, moving away from the numbered installments, and for the Lunarlon foam midsole paired with Dynamic Flywire and a unique heel construction. The coming Nike Kobe AD Black/White was slated to release on December 16th but is available now at select spots like Capsule Toronto.
When talking about the pair, Kobe made sure to let the world know that he wanted the performance aspects to be refined and perfected. A Zoom Air unit in the heel pairs perfectly with Lunarlon foam for a comfortable ride while Dynamic Flywire adds lockdown support. Micro-treaded traction grips the hardwood for easy, quick cuts while the pair opts for Engineered Mesh on the upper instead of the premium Flyknit construction from year’s past (although Nike hasn’t ruled out the knit construction for possible Elite models in the future).
