The Nike Kobe 11 Draft Day releases tomorrow, bookending Kobe Bryant’s storied career that ended in a Lakers uniform earlier this month.
But while Kobe plied his trade in Los Angeles for all twenty seasons of his playing days, the Nike Kobe 11 Draft Day draws inspiration from the team that actually drafted him. The shoe’s white mesh upper incorporates the Charlotte Hornets’ signature purple and aqua on the Swoosh, tongue and inner-lining, while “6.26.96” — the date Buzz City selected Kobe — is emblazoned on one heel.
One of the cleaner, more summer-friendly colorways of Beef’s shoe to date, the Nike Kobe 11 Draft Day releases tomorrow, April 28, at retailers nationwide, including online accounts at 10am EDT/7am PDT. Here’s the Eastbay.com purchase link.
