Releasing next week is a new colorway of the Nike Kobe 11 that looks back at Kobe’s NBA career before he became a Laker legend.
On June 26, 1996 Kobe Bean Bryant was drafted by the Charlotte Hornets with the 13th overall pick. The Black Mamba was then traded immediately afterwards to the Lakers in exchange for Vlade Divac. The rest is history as we all know it. This Draft Day colorway of the Nike Kobe 11 comes with a White engineered mesh upper along with Blue Lagoon and Court Purple accents as a tribute to the Charlotte Hornets.
Scheduled to release on April 28th for a retail price of $160, do you plan on picking up a pair?

Again, I’m not sure what’s the deal with the engineered mesh uppers. I’m sure some people will cop, but if these were made out of Flyknit they would look better.
