When Kobe Bryant concludes his 20-year career this Wednesday, NIKEiD will commemorate the moment by introducing a "Mamba Day" graphic option for the Kobe 11.
Reminiscent of Bryant's "Big Stage" Kobe 5s, the print highlights eight of his most defining stats and milestones: the dates of his first and last games (11.01.96 and 4.13.16), five World Championships, four All-Star MVP awards, 18 All-Star appearances, 81 points scored in a game, 20 years played in the league and 24 for his jersey number. Fans will also be able to add a personal message on the backs of the tongues.
For a limited time beginning at tipoff of Bryant's final game on Apr. 13, the "Mamba Day" option will be available at nike.com.
