After getting its official unveiling this past Saturday, we were only introduced to one colorway set to release thus far, the Nike Kobe X ‘5 AM Flight’. The folks at Nike are now treating the young athletes with some great news, the Nike Kobe X will be running in a full family size run.
Check out the details regarding the FSR of the Nike Kobe X and let us know down in the comments will these be a DEF Cop or DEF Not.
STORYTELLING
Each KOBE X colorway tells a story that reflects Bryant’s drive and determination. The lead colorway for adults and young athletes, 5 AM Flight, takes inspiration from Bryant’s 40-foot, early-morning leap from a diving board in August 2013. The experience wasn’t just about high diving; it’s symbolic of Bryant’s resilience to overcome the odds and face fear head-on. The shoe’s blue palette represents the pool water of Bryant’s 5 a.m. flight.
GRADE SCHOOL
At this age, a young athlete’s game and skills are accelerating, and their rapid improvement requires a shoe with flexibility, traction and cushioning that is also lightweight for court speed. The KOBE X delivers that performance.
PRE-SCHOOL
These young athletes are just learning the game while beginning to hone their coordination. The Pre-school KOBE X provides the outstanding flexibility and durability that kids need in a shoe they wear to the classroom and playground, as well as the court.
TODDLER
The toddler-sized KOBE X features a soft, flexible upper to support the natural motion of toddlers’ growing feet. The lacing system and modified ankle collar give the feel of a locked-down fit. The lower-profile full rubber cup sole enhances flexibility, and gets the athlete lower to the ground to provide a stable base and greater traction.
KOBE X APPAREL COLLECTION
A KOBE X apparel collection for grade school athletes will hook to the color palettes and graphics of the five upcoming footwear colorways. Specifically, the new Kobe HyperElite hoodie features advanced apparel technology: interior stretch-mesh to increase range of motion, Therma-FIT fleece fabric for warmth and a scooped, loose-fit hem for extra movement.
