Nike just announced what will be the final colorway in the line of the Kobe 11 shoes, from his last signature pair as a player in the NBA.

This specific shoe, mainly in the color black, was designed to pay tribute to Kobe Bryant‘s nickname The Black Mamba.

It appears to be what would've been essentially a black colored playoff-edition sneaker, had the Los Angeles Lakers qualified for the post season.

Kobe sends his respect to the designer Mark Parker, who obviously knows what Kobe likes and what style fits him. This won't be the last Kobe sneaker as Nike has promised to continue the line, but if you are a collector, or if you like the Kobe 11 line, this is the last colorway to release in 2016.

The Kobe 11 Black Mamba shoe is the third piece of the Kobe 11 Muse Pack, and will be available on May 26.
