Nike Kobe 11 - Draft Day

Nike will be paying homage to another important team/moment in the Black Mamba’s storied career. This Kobe 11 is dressed up in a combination of White, Blue Lagoon and Court Purple, the team colors of the Charlotte Hornets who originally drafted Kobe back in 1996. Kobe was taken as the 13th pick in the 1996 NBA Draft and was traded on Draft Day to the Lakers. This Kobe 11 is not made up of Flyknit but instead features an engineered mesh upper like the Aces colorway and has been hit with “6.26.96” on the heel, the day that Kobe was drafted.
