It appears Kanye West feels like Kobe once again. A longtime fan and friend of the Black Mamba, the inspiration goes deeper on the recently unveiled adidas Yeezy Season 6 Runner as it pulls cues from Kobe’s oft forgotten adidas KB8 III.
Sporting a similar sole in regards to Feet You Wear sculpting and adiPRENE cushioning, the new Yeezy Runner references the model worn by afro-era Kobe during the 99-00 season.
