It’s looking more and more like this year will be Kobe Bryant‘s last in the NBA. The struggling Lakers might leave a negative view on the current basketball situation in Hollywood, but don’t let it taint your memory of one of the greatest players to ever play the game. It’s fairly obvious Kobe won’t be winning a sixth NBA championship at this point (unless he surprises everyone and defers to accepting a lesser role on a winning team next year, but come on it’s Kobe.) Essential Nike has been celebrating the Black Mamba’s numerous achievements throughout the Kobe 10‘s tenure as the current signature of choice, from his place atop the all-time scoring list to his 5 championships. This upcoming Nike Kobe 10 Elite Low features a red and black Flyknit upper while the heel shows off metallic gold pendants of 5 championship rings in a bolstered metal. What do you think? Check out a better view below and stay tuned for a release date in the coming brown.
