About the Nike Kobe A.D. NXT 360 "Mamba Day"
April 13 is a fixed date on Nike's basketball calendar, and this shoe used it. On that day in 2016 Bryant closed out a twenty-season career with 60 points against the Utah Jazz, and the anniversary has functioned as a release marker since.
The NXT 360 is the argument for a basketball shoe with no separate upper and lower half. Flyknit runs the full circumference of the foot - over the top, under the arch, all the way around - so there is no bonded midsole interrupting the line. The cushioning arrives instead as a drop-in sockliner: Lunar foam and React foam working together along the length of the foot, removable, closer to an insole with a job than to a midsole.
Black covers all of it, which leaves the knit texture and the wrap to carry the shoe visually. It shared its release day with a Kobe 1 Protro, two years into a retirement Bryant was spending on the design side of the product rather than in it.
