Nike Kobe Zoom I Black Mamba

The Nike Kobe Zoom I Black Mamba pays homage to Kobe’s formative years where he dominated on the courts of Philadelphia. It joins an array of premium models which have been released as part of a seven day series. Celebrating the athlete’s influence on the courts, it comes at a time when Kobe is close to retirement. In fact, the legendary star only has a few more games on the hardwood. This high top silhouette commemorates this landmark event in style.

Unlike previous models, this pair comes with some luxurious upgrades. One of the most notable is an all new material choice. Mesh is replaced with premium, burnished leather and an embossed snakeskin pattern. A padded mesh ankle collar includes a cut-out heel for breathable comfort without sacrificing support. As always, you can expect the same level of care underfoot.  Nike Zoom cushioning and a Phylon midsole offer responsive comfort that won’t weigh you down. Finally, a carbon-fibre spring plate gives multi-directional force and speed. What do you think of this pair? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

The Nike Kobe Zoom I Black Mamba is scheduled to release on April 13th at 7.24pm via the following retailers. Direct links will also be plastered across our social media.
