The Kobe XI is a progressive low-top that distills Bryant’s signature legacy to its essence: high performance, lightweight, responsive and sophisticated design. Over 11 silhouettes, Bryant and Avar have set a high bar for personal narratives embedded in signature lines. The Kobe‘Achilles Heel’ is no different. The deep red and black shoe features subtle nods to the Greek hero Achilles, and Bryant’s own career arch.

The Kobe XI "Achilles Heel" drops Saturday January 9th.
