Many of the most transcendent athletes in sports typically share at least one thing in common and that’s their killer instinct. Kobe Bryant has that in spades. In fact, early on is his career, often times it was to his detriment. Bryant was young and brash, forcefully imposing his will on the court and with his teammates. That didn’t always work out well.

But with time comes maturity, and not only in terms of player development on the court, but a more sound psyche in all aspects of life. Bryant was often referred to as a “Drill Sergeant” in those intermediate stages of his career. Over time, though, he learned to lead by example and embrace his teammates – in his own unique way. The Nike Kobe 10 Elite Low “Drill Sergeant” honors Bean’s leadership, growth and continued thirst for knowledge.

Dressed in dark teal tones to symbolize the militaristic state of mind themed within the title, offsets include Total Orange and black while more tonal shades of teal finish the look. The Nike Kobe 10 Elite Low “Drill Sergeant” marches into stores on August 12.
