Kobe Bryant said goodbye to another arena Thursday night, this time the home of the defending champion Golden State Warriors.

For his last game at the Oracle, Bryant laced up a brand new white-to-purple gradient colorway of the Nike Kobe 11. Whether or not this pair will eventually make it to retail is unknown at the moment.

There wasn't any retirement magic to be had on this night. Bryant, playing with a sore Achilles, finished with just 8 points in the Lakers' 116-98 loss. After the game, he signed his sneakers for Warriors forward Draymond Green, along with the inscription "Make History."
