Nike's reminiscing Kobe sneakers aren't limited to its retro "Fade to Black" pack. Also coming is a Kobe 11 EM colorway that looks back to Kobe Bryant's genesis in the league.

The sneaker, pictured here, is a "Draft Day" Kobe 11. The colorway is a nod to Bryant's selection by the Charlotte Hornets, and even features the date of the 1996 NBA Draft on the heel.

Nike's taken advantage of this story plenty of times before with Hornets-flavored Kobe shoes.

The sneaker release date for the "Draft Day" Kobe 11 is set for April 28.
