Kobe Bryant has shot his last NBA shot, but the final signature shoe of his playing career continues going strong. Next up, a striking new style that magnificently meshes with the sartorial sensibilities of summer: the Nike Kobe 11 Red Horse.
A more colorful counterpoint to the colorway that dropped back in March, the Red Horse Kobe 11 features a staticky mix of red and white in the toe of the Flyknit upper, before gradually transitioning to darker solid-red through the midfoot and maroon around the heel. A solid white Swoosh, sole, tongue and heel-cap frame those conspicuous crimsons meanwhile, and a special heel-strip displays on theme graphics on the right foot.
The colors commingle beautifully, and the palette’s slightly raised volume figures to play best when the sun’s blazing in June and July. The Nike Kobe 11 Red Horse release date is scheduled for June 1 at stateside Nike Basketball accounts. Retail’s set for $220.
