Not too long after the celebratory Nike Air Force 1 “Black Mama” surfaced, the Swoosh continues to honor Kobe Bryant via his own signature sneaker. The “Black Mamba” colorway returns to the Kobe A.D. welcoming university gold detailing and a black-based upper. “Black Mamba” branding is included on each tongue as an ode to Bryant’s popular nickname.
