With Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant set to retire at the end of the NBA season, Nike has finally introduced what looks to be The Black Mamba's final on-court shoe. Before pictures even broke, there were rumors swirling of Tinker Hatfield leading the design that were ultimately proven to be false. Eric Avar once again takes the reins in coming up with a shoe that puts together all the things he and Kobe have sought to establish throughout Bryant's Nike Signature line.
The launch colorway is called the "Achilles Heel" - a nod to both the mythical Greek warrior as well as the injury that ended Kobe's season in 2013. Available globally in select Nike Basketball retailers on January 9.
