For Kobe Bryant's part in Nike's Year of the Dragon Collection, Nike Basketball designers drew inspiration from his Italian roots and Kung Fu movies that have been filmed in the country. The Kobe VII YOTD is draped in the signature three colors of Italy, including a red base and green hits on the interior, laces and heel counter. Each pair comes with a cushion printed with Kobe’s exclusive golden logo, a statement of invincibility. The matrix design on the upper is a special code that spells the message for Kobe. Kobe's signature and animated dragon pattern on the heel make for one of the more unique offerings you'll be able to pick up to celebrate Chinese New Year.
