To add to the long list of upcoming New Air Jordan Shoes releases, Nike Basketball has once again found a new way to approach this low-top performance Basketball sneaker. Found in a classic Nike "Oreo" colorway, the Kobe 11 features a clean monochrome look with whites and blacks throughout. The Flyknit upper features a black Swoosh while the midsole has black speckles throughout. Giving a nod to L.A. on the front with Kobe's "Black Mamba" nickname in bold letters on the back, this Dri-FIT Kobe tee from Nike Basketball pairs up perfectly with the White/Black Nike Kobe 11 Elite Low colorway, with a dropped back hem for a slightly longer look. It was back in 1996 when Kobe Bryant had graduated from high school and he signed with adidas directly after. It was not until Summer 2003, after he broke his deal with them a year earlier and remained without a deal for the year, that Kobe Bryant finally signed with Nike. Three years later, Nike launched his first signature sneaker model in 2006 in the form of the Nike Zoom Kobe 1 and 9 years later, his eleventh signature model is now on its way.
New Jordans 2016, Achieving the Oreo theme, this Nike Kobe 11 is dressed in White and Black, however is the location and detailing which connects. Using Flyknit through the uppers with a mixture of Black and White, solid Black lands on the Nike Swoosh, tongue, liner and laces. Following is White across the midsole and outsole along with Black speckled detailing. Now that the Lakers' shooting guard is retiring, the Kobe 11 designed by Eric Avar will likely be his last signature model. The Kobe 11 is still as lightweight as its predecessors, but this will be the first time for Nike to incorporate Flyknit with a thermoplastic polyurethane yarn into the upper of one of their basketball shoes. The rest of the model resembles the Kobe 10 to quite an extent. The heel features a combination of full-length Lunarlon foam and a Zoom Air unit, while the silhouette is also equipped with a mesh tongue that makes it breathable and a translucent outsole.
Dropping alongside the Jordans 2017 sneakers is this white and black Nike Kobe Art Droptail T-Shirt to match the Black Mamba's cookie colored kicks. The Kobe XI Elite men's Basketball shoe is as strong and relentless as the Black Mamba himself with support cushioning and comfort to help keep you fast on your feet. The Nike Flyknit yarn is stronger lighter and more flexible than it's ever been providing formfitting comfort and ultralight support for your quickest moves. Flex grooves in the forefoot of the Lunarlon foam allow your toes to spread naturally for multidirectional agility and a powerful first step. The full-length drop-in Lunarlon foam delivers soft yet responsive shock absorption while Nike Zoom Air in the heel maximizes cushioning and responsiveness.
