Less than six months after Kobe Bryant left the court for the final time, Nike have dropped the legendary athlete's first post-retirement signature release.

With Bryant's legacy still being felt in the NBA, Nike have continued Kobe's tradition of rocking lightweight, low-profile on-court footwear.

Combining a Zoom Air unit in the heel, Lunarlon foam in the midsole and a minimal rubber outsole (with micro-tread traction), the shoe provides responsive, flexible cushioning and maximum court feel. A breathable mesh upper with incorporated Dynamic Flywire, ensures lock down for quick changes of direction toward the basket or to cover an opponent.

The Kobe A.D. drops on November 22nd.
