The “silk road” is recognized as an integral piece of global history for its service as a bridge between Asia and Europe for centuries. This route would often be traversed for the purpose of trade, but would thrive as a means of connecting the two great regions of the Eastern hemisphere. Today, Nike unveils a special Kobe 10 Academy inspired by Kobe Bryant’s international history, pointing specifically at his childhood in Europe and his travels to China as an adult. This vibrant combination of oranges, reds, and gold are inspired by a luxurious silk garment that were commonplace during the height of trade, but it looks better on a Kobe 10, don’t you think? Get an official look below and stay tuned for the official March 21st release.
