This relationship between Mark Parker and Kobe Bryant dates back to the Nike Huarache 2K4, the first shoe Bryant wore after signing with Nike in 2003. Parker played a key role in the shoe’s development, along with Eric Avar and Tinker Hatfield. The shoe immediately legitimised the innovative nature of Bryant’s signature line – a distinction that remains even after the conclusion of Bryant’s basketball career, as the Kobe signature line continues to grow and evolve.
The third shoe in the Kobe 11 Muse Pack features subtle details reflecting the black mamba snake. From the re-engineered Flyknit pattern and laces to the tongue and shoe underbelly, reptilian details designed by Parker subtly come to life on this new shoe.
The KOBE 11 Parker Muse is available in limited quantities beginning May 26 at Nike.com and select global retail locations.
