Kobe Bryant Nike Black Mamba Fade To Black Retro Pack (Images + Release Info)

The partnership between Kobe Bryant and designer Eric Avar has re-established the rules of basketball footwear. Both Bryant and Avar obsess performance and over time they’ve experimented with and employed Flywire and Flyknit, gone from low to high-cut and taken strides to revolutionize traction. Each of Bryant’s shoes — 11 signature shoes and two that have been closely tied to him (the Nike Huarache 2K4 and the original Hyperdunk from 2008) — has made an immediate impact on the court while influencing global sneaker culture. The Black Mamba Pack celebrates this legacy. The collection slowly fades from white to black with each shoe, an appropriate metaphor leading into Bryant’s final game on April 13.
