Taking it back to Kobe Bryant’s senior year when he broke his nose while diving for the ball but still managed to light up the court, the Nike Kobe X “Pain” is ready to release alongside a tight collection of Nike Kobe clothing to match. After sporting a protective mask on court and going 4-for-14, Kobe tossed it in the trash at halftime and played through the pain while dropping 39 points in an overtime win that would take his team to state.
This Tumbled Grey colorway in the Black Mamba’s tenth signature shoe pays tribute to Kobe’s courageous ways on court with a graphic treatment that packs in bright pops of orange and polka dots. Linking up with Kobe’s latest kicks are a new Nike Kobe T-Shirt, hat and socks to hook. Take a closer look at the kicks below which launch on July 9th at Nike Store alongside the matching Kobe apparel and accessories.
