Nike Kobe Halo Standard Issue Apparel Collection | Nike

Being equipped with one of the most comprehensive selections in Nike Basketball history, shoes designed by Kobe Bryant are certainly familiar with a wide range of themes that cover a range of sneakers in his inventory.

However, only a few possess the sentimental allure of a pristine white theme, which first made an appearance with the Kobe 8 in 2023 and will persist with the upcoming releases of the Kobe 9 “Halo” and the Kobe 9 Low “Halo.”

To build anticipation for this significant duo, Beaverton has introduced a clothing line that perfectly complements these two shoes, scheduled for launch on Bryant’s birthday.

While all the items in the collection align with Bryant’s performance-oriented closet, there’s a distinction between pieces meant for casual wear and those tailored for on-court activities.

Let’s kick things off with the former, featuring an immaculate Dri-Fit hoodie that flaunts subtle silver accents found throughout the entire range. The attention to detail sets this apparel apart from usual white Nike gear, including a zipper pull inspired by the iconic triangular Kobe logo.

A stylish full-zip sweater with a collar embraces similar design elements, with cream details adding depth to the overall look. The Kobe logo remains prominent, boldly displayed on the chest in an oversized manner.

Completing the set are a pair of basketball shorts and a jersey, which stand out as the most unconventional pieces in the collection. Both items are reversible, featuring a silver snakeprint exterior and a pure white interior that embodies the collection’s theme. Either of these garments serves as a striking way to channel the iconic Mamba Mentality.

Once more, as the release date for the Protro Kobe 9 approaches on August 23rd, the Nike Kobe “Halo” apparel collection is anticipated to debut alongside on SNKRS. Take a sneak peek at the complete collection just ahead.

    Official Release Date for the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen”

    The Boston Celtics’ season is unfolding just as they had envisioned, with only one loss to report and a striking 30 points per game average from their star player, Jayson Tatum.

    After a more eventful off-season than what championship teams typically endure, Tatum and his Boston teammates have skillfully tuned out distractions, staying focused on their goal of repeating their success early in the season. In line with this theme, the upcoming #0 Jordan Tatum 3 is about to launch a “Zen” colorway that embodies this same sense of tranquility.

    The motif of serenity has been a consistent element in Jayson Tatum’s sneaker line, especially highlighted by the “Vortex” version of the Tatum 2, which explicitly connects to this theme: our previous coverage noted that the design reflects Tatum’s calm demeanor, reminiscent of the peacefulness found in a vortex above water.

    While this new model opts for a more subdued color palette, its execution remains true to that original concept; the graceful cut-outs in the upper design resemble calm waters, serving as a guiding inspiration throughout Tatum’s signature collection.

    As mentioned earlier, the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen” is set to launch on November 14th via Nike.com, available in sizes for the whole family. The adult versions will be priced at $125.

    For a closer look at this appealing colorway, check out the official images below, and make sure to keep an eye on our Sneakers page for updates.

    Jason Kelce’s Field Goal Attempt In Timberlands Will End In A $100,000 Donation

    This Saturday, November 2nd, Jason Kelce will take on a field goal challenge while wearing Wheat Timbs during the ESPN College GameDay broadcast of the highly anticipated Penn State vs. Ohio State matchup. The idea for this challenge originated when college student Daniel Villasenor successfully kicked a field goal in Vans checkerboard slip-ons, winning an impressive $100,000 earlier in October.

    Initially discussed on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast with special guest Pat McAfee, this lighthearted challenge quickly evolved into a real event. The NFL legend, Jason Kelce, is set to attempt scoring three points while donning the famous Wheat Timberlands.

    In an exciting twist, VF Corp — the parent company of both Vans and Timberland — has stepped in with a generous $100,000 commitment to the charity Soles4Souls, aimed at supporting hurricane relief efforts. Fortunately for Jason, VF Corp has assured that the funds will be donated regardless of whether his kick is successful or not.

    Make sure to tune in to ESPN College GameDay on November 2nd, 2024, to witness this unique field goal attempt for yourself!
