Kobe Bryant‘s Mamba Mentality has been well-documented throughout his 12 years with Nike Basketball. His alter ego has served as fuel for other athletes such as Kyrie Irving, all who have taken direct cues from Bryant’s hall of fame career. This Thursday, Nike Basketball will introduce the new silhouette from Kobe and designer Eric Avar with the striking Nike Kobe AD Mid Mamba Mentality Pack inspired by the different stoic traits from number 24.
The Nike Kobe AD Mid Mamba Mentality Pack utilizes color theory on the new model with monochromatic colorways ranging from teal (honesty), red (passion), grey (detachment), purple (fearlessness), and yellow (optimism). Each also pays respect to the five NBA Championship rings Kobe earned during his playing days while each dons unique features on the Swoosh branding and heel construction for a one of a kind look. Which pair is your favorite?
