With the Kobe 11 EM Protro “Mamba Day”, Nike is bringing back one of the most significant Kobe releases. The trainer celebrates the 10th anniversary of Kobe’s legendary final NBA game, in which he scored 60 points and ended his career in iconic fashion.
The design tells a real story: the black upper is completely covered in gold numbers representing key moments from Kobe’s career. These include his jersey numbers 8 and 24, his 5 championships, 18 All-Star nominations, 4 All-Star MVPs, his 81-point game, and the dates of his debut and his final game.
