The Nike Kobe 11 ‘Draft Day’ follows in the theme of sneakers that pays respect to the team that drafted Kobe Bryant back in 1996, the Charlotte Hornets. To think if the team didn’t trade Bryant, how the course of NBA history would have taken a different stride.
To commemorate the LA Lakers to receive Bryant, or perhaps to throw shade at the Hornets, the brand continues to release his signature model in hues dressed in Charlotte’s colors.
This Nike Kobe 11 features a White mesh base while Teal accents land on the tongue, liner and heel. Other details include Purple filling in the Swoosh, laces and Kobe branding. The last touch is 6.26.96 down the heel for the day Bryant was drafted.
