Kobe 11 Muse Pack

Kobe Bryant’s basketball career ended on April 13, when the legend played his final game and scored 60 points in a win. Today, Nike Basketball introduces a new tribute to Bryant in the form of the KOBE 11 Muse Pack, realised thanks to the contribution of Mark Parker, Eric Avar and Tinker Hatfield.

The design reflects Bryant and Avar’s mutual interest in nature, with a particular focus on Yosemite National Park’s “El Capitan” rock formation, an elite climbing destination. The shoe’s blue hues represent the sky and water seen from the California summit, while the taupe collar lining and outsole mimic the textured granite formation below. The vibrant sockliner graphic also nods to the multicolor pattern associated with Yosemite. The shoe is finished off with boot laces as a nod to the outdoors and hiking, which is synonymous with the national parks.

The KOBE 11 Avar Muse is available in limited quantities at Nike.com, Nike SNKRS and select retail locations.
