2017 Nike Kobe A.D. Mid Passion Red

Nike Basketball just introduced Kobe Bryant’s next signature shoe, the Nike Kobe AD Mid. The model continues Kobe Bryant’s Mamba Mentality which encompasses both the physical and psychological elements of basketball. While his passion for practice and training is well documented, the five-time champion’s curiosity about the external factors that influence human behavior is lesser known. One aspect of that interest is the psychology of color — particularly in understanding the correlations between color, attitude and emotion.

In true Bryant fashion, each makeup is informed by science but viewed through a unique Mamba lens. Each will feature a Multilayer upper provides a lightweight, ultra-thin feel that’s strong and supportive. A Lunarlon foam combines with Zoom Air for soft yet responsive, cushioning. We also have Engineered tread provides optimal traction for cutting and moving swiftly.
