Kobe Bryant’s retirement poses a lot of questions in relation to how his signature line with Nike will continue. The Nike Kobe 11 silhouette is the Black Mamba’s latest and since he dropped 60 points to close out his career, it may be the most important. Straying away from the expected Flyknit upper, the Swoosh has outfitted Bryant’s eleventh model with an engineered mesh upper which is abbreviated as “EM.” Donned in all black, this colorway keeps things nice and simple while reminding you of Kobe’s killer instinct on the court.

This Black/Cool Grey edition of the Nike Kobe 11 EM Low is expected to hit shelves on July 9 for a retail price of $160 USD.
