Nike Kobe 11 Elite Low Protro Fade to Black

The Fade to Black series went with the player’s final season in 2016, with five pairs released over the months. Flyknit wraps the foot like a sock and removes the layering. The low upper stays the signature of this whole line.

This shoe is built on a flyknit knit. The black knit is washed by hand, as a machine deforms the structure of the upper. The low collar leaves the ankle free, a choice the player defended in his lifetime. The gold of the Swoosh stays muted and never tips into flash, and the knit takes the shape of the foot from the first fitting.
