Kobe’s signature sneaker legacy with Nike began in 2006. He had worn several styles and brands of shoes in the years prior (including personalized Nike Air Huarache 2K4s and 2K5s). The Nike Zoom Kobe 1, designed by Ken Link, was his first “official” Nike basketball shoe.
With Kobe’s input, the Nike Kobe/Mamba basketball shoes continued to evolve during his NBA playing days, getting lighter and lower over the years. Since Kobe’s retirement from the NBA, he has remained involved in helping to design and expand his always fly shoe line. Recent sneakers have included the Protro (performance retro) kicks, Kobe AD NXT, and Mamba Focus. All Kobe shoes combine cutting-edge innovation essentials while maintaining performance.
