Inspired by the vibrant, energetic culture of Venice Beach, known for its skateboarding and streetball scenes, the "Venice Beach" colorway features a dynamic mix of stadium grey, orange, tour yellow, blue, green, and red, encapsulating the area's diverse and lively essence. The sneaker's design incorporates graffiti-inspired streaks and a tie-dye-like effect, complemented by bright orange touches and Kobe's signature on the lateral heel.
This edition updates the original with a drop-in React insole, offering enhanced comfort and performance. The grey mesh upper is paired with a blue foam midsole and a semi-translucent clear outsole, while the midfoot Swoosh and Kobe's logo add distinctive accents.
