This release is part of Nike's ongoing efforts to honor Kobe Bryant's indelible impact on basketball and sneaker culture, following an agreement with Bryant's estate to revive his signature shoe line.
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.
