Nike Kobe X – ‘Pain’ Release Info

Inspired by a specific time where Kobe Bryant played thru a lot of pain to win is this new Nike Kobe X colorway.

As the story goes, while in high school en route to the state championships (which they went on to win), Kobe Bryant was playing with a broken nose from a game the night before. Wearing a face mask in-game and after going 4-for-14 in the first half, Bryant is said to have thrown out the mask and finished the game with 39 points. That is where the ‘Pain’ Kobe X nickname comes from.

This is the first appearance of the “Masked Mamba”; the name that Kobe Bryant takes on whenever playing with a mask.

The ‘PAIN’ Nike Kobe X (10) releases on Thursday, July 9th for $180.
