The Kobe Bryant business has quadrupled over the last year, proving that the Mamba Mentality is indeed a key driver for lengthening the legacy of the fallen NBA great. The jordan opportunities are nearly endless for a player of Bryant’s stature not just for his successes, but also his failures and challenges he’s had to endure. Case in point, the Kobe 5 “X-Ray”, which is set to drop this month.

Officially announced by Vanessa Bryant, the Kobe 5 “X-Ray” is directly inspired by the iconic t-shirts that first released in 2010 after Kobe won his fifth NBA championship. Depicting an x-ray of a hand with multiple fractures, contusions, and other malaise, the shirt effectively communicates that the pain is thoroughly worth it when it comes to amassing championship rings.
