Nike Kobe X "Overcome"
Kobe’s perseverance is immortalized in this new release from Nike.




Part of Kobe Bryant’s legacy is founded on the idea of falls. Especially toward the latter portion of his career, Kobe has faced everything from emotional strife in false accusations to tears and fractures in his knees, fingers, hips and ankle and shoulder. The physical and emotional fortitude are the marks of any great, and applying this to its flagship athlete, here Nike offers up a new iteration of the Kobe X. The “Overcome” colorway is curiously executed in a combination of Emerald Glow and Court Purple through the upper, with a black leather tongue interrupting the complex palette. The sneaker is set off by a silver Swoosh at the sides, which rests with the upper atop a tonal translucent Zoom Air outsole. Check out the photos above and grab this iteration of the Kobe X online beginning August 27.
