When the Mamba challenges you, you better step up to the plate.

Nike and Kobe Bryant have teamed up for the ‘Mamba Mentality’ Pack and in honor of the August 24th, aka, “Kobe Day” (which is a reference to the jersey numbers that Lakers veteran wore), Bryant and the sports retailer have released a new collection of kicks that are inspired by the ‘psychology of color.’

 

The Man. The Myth. The Mamba. Channel your #MambaMentality.

In addition to dropping the 5 colorway themes, Bryant is challenging you and some of your favorite artists and sports players to channel their #MambaMentality. So far, Cavaliers point guard Isaiah Thomas, rapper Kendrick Lamar, and more have been challenged to step up.
