The Nike Kobe line is officially back.

Kobe Bryant is one of the most beloved players in the history of the NBA. Overall, he accomplished a whole lot in the league and is seen as an icon. Unfortunately, his passing in 2020 was truly a horrific moment in history. He was in a helicopter crash that also claimed the life of his daughter Gianna. Since that time, he has been honored in numerous ways. Moreover, there was some drama around his sneaker deal with Nike. For a while, Nike lost the Kobe brand. However, they got it back and are now releasing retros again.

That said, many have wondered if a new Kobe signature would ever be produced. After all, it has been a long time since we have seen one. Well as it turns out, a new Kobe Bryant signature is, in fact, in the works. On Twitter today, Nike Basketball made the exciting revelation that they were bringing back the Kobe line. In fact, tomorrow, the brand will be announcing the name, look, and supposedly the release date of this new sneaker.
