Toronto Raptors’ very own DeMar DeRozan has just received another Kobe A.D. rendition this season all thanks to Nike Basketball. Officially dubbed the ”Alternate” PE, the Black Mamba torchbearer’s newest iteration culls a deep black, Dynamic Flywire mesh upper alongside a lustrous heel counter that is aptly embellished with a red and white speckle pattern. To top it all off, the sneaker boasts a Zoom Air unit and a Lunarlon foam midsole for responsive cushioning on the hardwood.
