Next Saturday, April 13, marks the three-year anniversary of Kobe Bryant's last game in the NBA, in which he dropped 60 points on the Utah Jazz in front of a sold out crowd at Staples Center.
Nike has since dubbed 4/13 "Mamba Day," and they've released multiple Kobe-inspired Nike Basketball sneakers in celebration of the Black Mamba's Hall of Fame career. This year will be no different, and Nike has already announced plans to drop a "Mamba Mentality" Nike Kyrie 5.

The kicks feature the same exact color scheme, along with a patent leather overlay, snake eye detailing and Kobe x Kyrie hybrid logos on the tongue. Additional details include Kyrie's signature on the left heel and Kobe's autograph on the right heel.
Price at $130 (Kid's sizes, $110) the Nike Kyrie 5 "Mamba Mentality" is slated to release on Mamba Day, April 13.
