Nike Unveils the Kobe 11 Muse Pack

Nike will pay tribute and honor the legacy of Kobe Bryant with the latest Nike Basketball pack. Dubbed as the “Muse Pack,” and created by renowned Swoosh designer Tinker Hatfield, the forthcoming Kobe pack adds a touch of Kobe’s personality with each silhouette.

Compromised of three silhouettes, one of the iterations off the pack pays tribute to Kobe Bryant’s favorite sneaker of all time, the iconic Air Jordan III. “The Jordan IIIs were my all-time favorite, still my favorite to this day,” Kobe said to Nike. Adding on, “To be able to grow up and appreciate all the Jordans and then to actually sit with the man who designed those and kind of understand how he designed them the way he did, why he designed them the way he has... that’s amazing.”

Along the lines of the Jordan III, the upcoming Kobe 11 sneaker features a black canvas with hints of red on the Swoosh and tongue. The second shoe in the Kobe 11 Muse pack features notable Jordan III details, including overall color blocking, perforations in the lower tongue and distinct red embroidery in the heel and tongue. Hatfield also added sharkskin-inspired heel counters as a tribute to Bryant’s fearlessness and appreciation for the mercurial creature.

The Nike Kobe 11 Tinker Muse is available in limited quantities starting Saturday, May 5, at select Nike Basketball retailers around the globe.
