In 2009, the Kobe 4 Carpe Diem ushered in the era of lowtop basketball shoes. Seven years later, a month after Kobe Bryant’s retirement, the Kobe 11 will revive that same colorway to celebrate the enduring popularity of the lowtop basketball trend Beef helped popularize.
Permeating Lakers style, the Nike Kobe 11 Carpe Diem features a black engineered mesh upper overlaid with tonal Hyperfuse, while purple and gold accents add a pop of contrast. The inner-lining boasts a gold grid-pattern, borrowed directly from the aforementioned Kobe 4.
You can seize the day next month. The Nike Kobe 11 Carpe Diem release date is set for May 21, retailing for the usual $160.
