Nike Kobe Ad White Chrome

Nike Basketball is opening the New Year with a bang. Not only will we be getting a plethora of new Nike Kyrie 3 colorways and a detailed look at the LeBron 14, but Kobe Bryant’s latest signature, the Nike Kobe AD, continues to put in work in a number of color options perfect for anyone on any team. That’s where the Nike Kobe AD Chrome comes into play, a clean offering that utilizes a white on white engineered mesh upper with metallic silver accents on the Swoosh branding and unique heel construction for a premium appearance.

The Kobe AD marks the next phase of Kobe Bryant’s signature silhouettes, as Nike decided to skip out on the numbered installment to focus on what basketball will be like now that the Black Mamba has retired once and for all. The Kobe AD instead focuses on the competitive spirit and that Mamba DNA showcased through a unique DNA helix logo on the heel made of two red interwoven snakes. A natural motion inclined Zoom Air midsole unit adds comfort while touches of icy blue allows the Kobe AD to retain a clean aesthetic.

The Nike Kobe AD Chrome will arrive at retailers on January 7th for $160 USD. Check out more detailed shots of the Nike Kobe AD Chrome below and head over to our always-updated Release Dates page for a better look at what else Nike Basketball has in store for the New Year.
