Kobe Bryant won't be coming out of retirement to join the USA Men's Basketball Team at the Rio Olympics but Nike Basketball is still paying homage to the Black Mamba with this patriotic "USA" Nike Kobe 11 Elite Low.

And since these are of the "Elite" variety, the kicks are wrapped in the beloved Flyknit material- naturally decked out in red, white and blue. As a nod to Kobe's Olympic appearances, the "USA" Kobe 11 Elite Low also features '08 and '12 on the heel of the right sneaker which were the years in which he won Olympic gold with Team USA.

The sneakers will release alongside the rest of Nike Basketball's Independence Day Collection, including the "Premiere" KD9 and "USA" Kyrie 2, on July 2nd for $220.
