Lakers living legend Kobe Bryant eclipsed Michael Jordan on the NBA’s all-time scoring list Sunday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He now sits in third place behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Karl Malone. In honor of the achievement, Nike equipped him with a special edition “Mamba Moment” Nike Kobe 9 Elite iD that features a brand new Flyknit scheme of purple and green. The Black Mamba’s latest wear was not exclusive to him, as Nike unleashed the quickstrike on NIKEiD for $245 moments after Bryant surpassed MJ on the scoring list with a free throw. Since then, the shoe has sold out.
View these kicks, plus Zach LaVine and Wilson Chandler’s Nike KD7 iDs, Nick Young’s ode to Kobe Bryant’s big night and more, in today’s edition of Kicks On Court.
