There goes the neighborhood. Nike plans on sending Kobe out on a high note using his signature shoe line in a collection/pack similar to the Prelude Pack that ushered in the Nike Kobe 9 Elite. This upcoming Nike Kobe ‘Fade To Black’ collection will see Nike retro each signature shoe starting from the Nike Zoom Huarache 2K4 and ending with the Nike Kobe 11. The only catch with this pack is that they will start out with white and slowly (not literally when you check out the dates) transition into darker shades/tones that will ultimately result in the Nike Kobe 11 “FTB” being black on black. This is certainly a dope gesture on Nike’s behalf to allow fans and sneakerheads to get one last chance at history regarding Kobe Bryant and his time with the swoosh.
Below is release details as far as colorways and dates for each of the 12 silhouettes involved in this ‘Fade To Black’ Collection. Check out the information and down in the comments let us know your thoughts. Also do note the picture used is not the actual collection it is just a reference.
