This actually isn’t the first time that the Kobe, Japan-based brand has applied a grayscale approach to this silhouette, but we haven’t seen this particular colorway before. The mixture of materials is very similar to previous GEL-NYC releases; the predominantly “Black” upper is nicely contrasted by a shiny silver overlay, and “Graphite Gray” appears throughout the sole, with a nice gradient shift at the midsole.
Summoned with the same tooling as the 2021 ‘University Blue’, pink hues fill the upper of this one, using suede throughout for a soft-touch guise. Speckled mudguards maintain its durability, while Jumpman logos are perched on the heel and tongue alike. Rubber soles keep things grippy and hardwearing underfoot, and visible Air units complete the classic look while delivering the best court comfort around.
The iconic AJ3 ‘Black Cat’ returns. Drawn from MJ’s famed moniker, the black and Dark Charcoal design mixes leather, nubuck and polished patent-leather accents for a luxe and true-to-form finish. Reviving the stealthy ’07 take on the original, this model features elephant print on the lacing to match the signature overlays that wrap the toe tip and heel.
Bring Mamba Mentality to match day. A celebration of Kobe’s connection to the club, this replica F.C. Barcelona Away shirt honours two icons whose legacies transcend sport.
