Next in line from the Black Mamba’s Prelude Pack is the Nike Kobe III Prelude. Kobe Bryant’s third signature sneaker with Nike was the model that he wore during his lone NBA MVP season, when the Lakers got to the Finals in 2008 and took a hard loss to the new-look Boston Celtics. Despite the Finals defeat, Bryant was right on the edge of getting back to championship form. This rendition of the caged silhouette memorializes the anger of a crushing loss and embodies KB’s appetite for redemption. With a scrambled design and fiery colors that represent brighter seasons ahead, the Kobe III Prelude uses a black base to house its multicolor cage and paint-speckled Swoosh. Check out Nike’s official photos below, and don’t fall short when these Kobes retro for the first time on December 21st.
