THE AIR JORDAN 30: THE NEXT FRONTIER OF FLIGHT

The Kobe XI is a progressive low-top that distills Bryant’s signature legacy to its essence: high performance, lightweight, responsive and sophisticated design. The Kobe‘Achilles Heel’ is no different. The deep red and black shoe features subtle nods to the Greek hero Achilles, and Bryant’s own career arch. The Kobe 'Achilles Heel' features a graphic representation of the hero on the right heel, while the left features four-stitch marks representing the four feet of thread used in Bryant’s 2013 Achilles surgery. Like the ancient Greek warrior, Kobe was nearly invincible for most of his career. This collection recalls the superhuman effort that resulted in his injury- and his relentless drive that followed.
