The Black Mamba’s playing days may be over, but that isn’t stopping Nike from churning out the Kobes. Back in November, the Swoosh unveiled Bryant’s first post-retirement silhouette and hasn’t even let up on the old Kobe 11: just this past weekend, the Elite version of the kicks dropped in a special “Ghost of Christmas” make-up and a high-top “ALT” take on the shoe is on the way, too.

Next month, however, Nike is revisiting the aforementioned A.D. and dropping a slick white version of the kicks. Echoing the construction of its OG and customizable NIKEiD releases, the design offers up a nearly all-white look while employing the likes of platinum-colored accents and an always on-point icy rubber outsole.

Expect these to land at Nike Basketball spots in January of 2017 for $160 USD.
