After marking 2025 as the “Year of the Mamba,” Nike has not slowed down regarding Nike Kobe releases. Outside of the performance basketball Protros, Nike offers lifestyle products with Kobe branding, recently seen with a Dodgers-themed Off Court Slide. Another Nike Kobe Slide has appeared, this time the Kawa Slide in White.
The Nike Kawa Slide retains its typical construction, featuring a textured footbed, forefoot strap, and a foam sole unit, with this pair adding Kobe branding. This is found on the aforementioned strap, with the sheath logo opting for a white finish to match the rest of the silhouette. Surrounding this is a faux snakeskin texture, leaning into Kobe’s Black Mamba nickname.
