Kobe Bryant recently revealed that he will be playing on his last season and fans of the Los Angeles Lakers superstar are storming in to grab any kind of memorabilia of the Black Mamba.
In recent reports, a new Nike Kobe 11 signature shoe is expected to appear with a release date rumored to come out anytime this month.
According to a report by Kicks On Fire, a release date for Nike Kobe 11 could potentially come out this year, as it is scheduled to come out in the next few weeks.
As the site stated, photo leaks of the sneakers came out recently, which make rounds in the social media and in numerous blogs.
"Whether this is all part of the marketing plan (get the shoe out there, pretend it's a "leak") or not we'll never know, but since nobody at the swoosh is flat out denying what these are (yet), we can expect the official reveal to happen over the next few weeks," the website stated about the potential release date of the Nike Kobe 11.
Furthermore, another report from the same site suggested that in line with the final season of Bryant, Nike is reportedly making things special for the basketball star by bringing one of the most well known shoe designers of the company to work on the shoes.
According to the site, Dino Hatfield reportedly revealed in his Twitter account that Tinker Hatfield would design the upcoming Nike Kobe 11 in preparation for its release date.
"Supposedly Kobe's last sneaker. Per his request," he tweeted.
"Tinker Hatfield is designing Kobe 11. GAME OVER," he confirmed.
Without an official release date set for the Nike Kobe 11 as of now, rumors claim that it may come out in the next few weeks.
