The first colorway in the Nike Kobe 10 ‘5 AM Flight’ has officially been released and for the most part the KB10 has received a good response from sneakerheads alike. Next up is an annual release for ASW in the Nike Kobe 10 ‘All Star’ which takes its inspiration from a New York City landmark.
That then brings us here with the third colorway in which seems to be a series of storied colorways in the first wave of releases, the Nike Kobe 10 ‘Blackout’.
Check out the official unveiling from Nike, Inc as well as their detailed pictures and then let us know down in the comments if these will be a DEF Cop or DEF Not.
KOBE X BLACKOUT INSPIRED BY KOBE BRYANT’S RELENTLESS WORKOUTS
The KOBE X, Kobe Bryant’s 10th signature basketball shoe, combines technical innovation with storytelling inspired by Bryant’s drive and determination. The KOBE X Blackout shoe blends performance benefits with a storyline based on Bryant’s legendary workout routine and 19 years of fearless dedication playing for the purple and gold.
Bryant’s relentless mental and physical perseverance are key to his career success, but it’s not all glory and championships. The real work happens behind the scenes as Bryant works on his strength, conditioning, skills and mental fortitude.
“When I’m really feeling it…. I work out until I black out,” said Bryant.
That insight directly drove the narrative behind the KOBE X Blackout colorway. The Blackout features impressive performance benefits: hybrid cushioning, an advanced traction system and a seamless textile upper. As Bryant prepares for his return, his workout routine will play a significant role in recovery, while his new shoe brings inspiration and top-flight innovation to the next generation of dedicated athletes.
The KOBE X Blackout and coordinated apparel will be available globally at nike.com and select retail locations on Feb. 21. This season’s remaining two colorways of the KOBE X will be introduced over the coming weeks.
