Nike has quite a bit planned ahead of the inaugural launch of the Kobe Brand ahead of Mamba Day 2023.
Confirmed by Nike CEO John Donahoe, the Kobe Brand is set to kick off the next phase of the Black Mamba’s lasting legacy on the game of basketball, and it looks as if we’ll be getting a first taste of what’s to come on August 10th. According to Nike Basketball, the “newest shoe” is set to be unveiled during a SNKRS ‘Live From The Archive’ segment on August 10th (North America only), while a countdown clock suggests a release on August 23rd (Kobe Bryant’s birthday).
This teaser reveals a low-top basketball silhouette — a hallmark of the Zoom Kobe signature line. Not much else can be determined based on this perfunctory teaser. Based on the verbage of the social media copy, “newest shoe” could also suggest a new colorway of an existing sneaker.
For now, be sure to tune in to SNKRS ‘Live From The Archive’ on August 10th.
