Nike Kobe 5 Release Dates
The Nike Kobe 5, also known as the Nike Zoom Kobe 5, is the fifth installment of Kobe Bryant's signature line. Released in 2010, it features a low-cut design, a combination of synthetic and Flywire materials for a lightweight and secure fit, and Zoom Air cushioning for exceptional responsiveness and impact protection. With its bold colorways and innovative design elements, the Kobe 5 showcases Bryant's fearless approach to the game.
Unveiled in 2009, the Nike Kobe 5 continued the innovation and storytelling tradition of Kobe Bryant's signature sneaker line. Building upon the low-top design trend set by the Kobe 4, this model aimed to blend performance, comfort, and style seamlessly.
Masterminded once again by Eric Avar, the Kobe 5 embraced a sleeker, lower profile without compromising support and stability. The shoe's synthetic leather upper used Flywire technology for a lightweight, supportive fit, while a dual-density sockliner adapted to the foot's shape for custom cushioning. For optimal responsiveness on the court, the Kobe 5 utilized Zoom Air units in the heel and forefoot.
The Kobe 5 was known for its vibrant and meaningful colorways. From the 'Bruce Lee' edition, paying homage to the martial arts legend, to the 'Dark Knight' variant, referencing Kobe's fierce competitiveness, these designs elevated the shoe's cultural standing.
The Kobe 5 has a special place in Bryant's career as it was worn during the 2009-2010 season, in which the Lakers won the NBA Championship, and Kobe was named Finals MVP.
Originally priced at $130, the Kobe 5's resale price can significantly vary based on the colorway and condition of the shoe. As part of the late Kobe Bryant's legacy, this shoe is treasured by fans, athletes, and sneaker enthusiasts alike.
