Nike Sportswear and Kobe Bryant team up for a landmark collection that recognizes the NBA Superstar for not only his accomplishments on the hardwood, but also for what he’s overcome off the court. Featuring the classic athletic apparel that NSW is known for, the collection offers new takes on some of the line’s most popular pieces like the varsity-inspired Destroyer Jacket, the N98 Track Jacket, and the AW77 Hoodie. Graphic t-shirts are also included among the pieces, all of which tell the tale of Kobe’s journey and inspirations. More details inside.
“The collection features redefined athletic-apparel classics like the varsity-inspired Destroyer Jacket, the N98 Track Jacket and the AW77 Hoodie, which tell Kobe’s story through badges and embroidery that break his name down into powerful words and symbols: To Know is reflected in the black spade harking back to his high-school sports logo and early history. To Originate, represented by an open book, reflects culture, To Battle is visible in the reinterpreted Italian soccer-champs badge in Pan-African flag colors, reflecting his love for “the beautiful game.” And to Elevate takes the form of a laurel representing time spent honing his craft as a youngster in Italy.”
The KOBE Collection is now available from the Nike Sportswear Online Shop.
