Nike Baseball is set to celebrate the legacy of Kobe Bryant with the launch of the Kobe 6 “Dodgers” sneakers, accompanied by a special equipment collection inspired by the basketball icon. This collection will be available on May 30th through Nike SNKRS.
A standout piece in this release is a custom Dodgers jersey that features “Mamba” in the team’s classic cursive font. Kobe’s signature logo is prominently displayed in red on the chest, along with his iconic jersey numbers 8 and 24 on the sleeves and back. To honor his final NBA game on April 13, 2016, the jersey includes stitched messages like “Thank You Kobe” and “Mamba Out” on the lower right, with a similar wording inside the placket. The design also boasts a black and white flannel lining that pays homage to Southern California’s street fashion.
In addition to the jersey, the equipment collection includes an array of baseball gear such as arm sleeves, batting gloves, sliding gloves, and a catcher’s set, all featuring snakeskin textures that reflect Kobe’s style alongside his logo and jersey number 8. Not to forget, Nike will also introduce “Dodgers” themed Kobe slides that will release with the sneakers.
This collaboration not only honors Kobe’s impact on the sport but also bridges the worlds of baseball and basketball, creating a unique homage to a legend. Fans and collectors alike can look forward to this exciting drop on May 30th.
