A Detailed Look At The Nike Kobe Black Mamba Pack Pre Championship Years

From 2000 to 2002, Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers won three straight NBA Championships – all while wearing adidas. The Nike era of Kobe’s shoe career began in 2003 and the individual and team success didn’t quite follow; despite being a perennial contender, the Lakers were a shell of their former near-dynasty self, and Kobe shouldered some of the blame – even if he was getting better and better every year. It wasn’t until 2006 that Nike issued the Black Mamba his first signature shoe; those three models at the time weren’t quite the widespread hits (despite the 1 and 2 getting the most love from the Prelude Pack), but it set the table for Eric Avar to step in and usher in the low-top Kobe era that we all have come to love today. While Bryant didn’t win any rings during the span of the first three signature shoes, there was the of course the 81 point game, his first MVP trophy, and his first trip to the NBA Finals since 2004. Over the course of the next week, Nike will release the Kobe 1, 2, and 3 from the Black Mamba Collection, so enjoy a detailed look here and stay tuned for the official release of the Kobe 1 tomorrow.

Air Max Day is only a few days away and Nike will once again be releasing another colorway of the Nike Air Max Zero to commemorate the event. The original white and yellow colorway of the retro-inspired silhouette will be releasing once again this weekend.

After making its debut back in January exclusively through the Nike SNKRS app, the OG colorway of the Nike Air Max Zero will now be getting a wider release on Air Max Day, March 26th. In addition to the white and yellow upper the shoe also features a black inner liner, black detailing on the outsole and a black tongue tag. Take a look at the images above and look for them to release at select retailers this weekend.

Author’s Take

When this colorway released on the SNKRS app in January they sold out instantly. This release will probably also be limited so I expect them to sell out pretty quick again. I’m not a fan of this colorway so maybe I’ll create one on NIKEiD in the future.

Is There Another Nike Kyrie 2 Duke Releasing

We’ve already seen two Duke colorways of the Nike Kyrie 2, the standard and PE editions, but is there a third on the way? These might not have official Duke inspiration, but they certainly could pass for another Blue Devils colorway, as they feature hits of royal blue along with the predominantly grey color scheme. An “alternate” Duke colorway, perhaps? Enjoy an early preview of the colorway in question while we await any official word from Nike on inspiration, and stick with Sneaker News for all upcoming release information.

Author’s Take

I’ve always been a fan of the Air Zoom Huarache 2K4 ever since the original release back in 2004. I remember being a freshman in high school when they released. This all-white colorway is pretty dope but that $200 price tag isn’t.
