The Nike Kobe AD burst onto the scene late last year with a brand new naming system to differentiate Kobe Bryant’s playing days from his new retirement phase of his career, but the shoe still continues to champion the sleek simplicity that the Black Mamba’s signature silhouettes have been known for ever since teaming up with designer extraordinaire Eric Avar. The goal with the model was to bring the ‘Mamba Mentality’ to everyone, and by combining a lightweight engineered mesh upper, Zoom Air, and natural motion tendencies with a head-turning heel support system, Nike Basketball did just that. The latest colorway is the flashiest yet, as the Kobe AD University Red will drop this Friday, January 20th for $160 USD.This is the first Kobe AD colorway that we’ve really seen break up the team-centric monochromatic option, as University Red combines with a Black lining to allow for the Total Crimson Swoosh to truly stand out. Kobe’s signature is stitched onto one heel while the freshly designed ‘Mamba DNA’ logo consisting of 2 snakes forming a DNA helix is on the other.Continue onward for more detailed shots of the Nike Kobe AD University Red below and if you can’t wait until the weekend to grab Kobe’s latest and greatest, know that you can find this pair right now on eBay.

Materials – The main difference between the Kyrie 2 and 3 comes from the materials — and I really love the materials. Mesh is the primary feature at the toe and midfoot to heel. Meanwhile the flex zone at the forefoot is a foam reinforced with Flywire. This setup is far greater than the one we received in the Kyrie 2 — fuse shell with mesh glued on top of it — and it actually made the tooling setup a bit more enjoyable on-court. Everything was able to flex and move properly instead of having the materials and tooling work against each other.Materials can be very hit or miss depending on player preference, but they’re an essential part of a shoe’s build. The materials are the shoe’s build. Without it you’re merely wearing sandals.While mesh is the main material, Nike added fuse to high-wear areas for extra strength and durability. Along the entire rear section of the upper we have a rubber — Kurim — overlay that acts as a three dimensional design along with a layer of protection against abrasions. Again, I love this setup and feel it aids in the minimalist tooling they have built upon for this particular model.
