Earlier this week, Nike officially unveiled Kobe's latest signature sneaker and the final one that he'll ever wear on court, the Nike Kobe 11.
Designed by one of Nike's greatest designers, Eric Avar, the latest Kobe model features an advanced Flyknit upper including an advanced TPU yarn, full length Lunarlon foam, and a Zoom Air Unit in the heel. The debut colorway of the Kobe 11 is called the "Achilles Heel," a nod to the 2013 injury he suffered against the Golden State Warriors. While we've already seen Nike's official debut images, new photos have emerged to get a better sense of what the Kobes will look like in person. The photos come courtesy of Kix Square and features lateral, medial, overhead, and close-up shots of the Kobes as well as its packaging.
The "Achilles Heel" Kobes officially hit retail beginning Saturday, January 9 and will carry a retail price of $200. For those that would like to own them a bit early, Kix Square does have them for sale right now with no markup in price.
Be sure to checkout some of the other colorways that Nike as planned for the Kobe XIs right here and here.
