Nike Kobe A.D. NXT is it the upgrade of ZK11 ?

Kobe might not be playing basketball anymore, but that he  hasn’t stopped release the shoes of Nike Basketball signature series .

The latest  reformed Nike Kobe A.D. NXT, has dropped in Volt and Wolf Grey colorways.

Now we can see the previous version

New design of upper with the dynamic fly line,the midsole of Lunarlon with the Zoom air in the heel . All of elements are combine with well .

We can not see a little of element of  Kobe A.D.,but  used the upper layer with   Flyknit . Especially the lace system  ,and the logo of KOBE , all of these shows KOBE styles .

 

Is it the similar with ZK11? Or just the difference of upper ?

 

Kobe Bryant  and  Eric Avar who the best partner   create this low  top together ,which  excellent flexibility shoes, comepare with previous Kobe version , they are different,  just surprised me everytime

And the same time ,as a fan of KOBE , I am a little disappointed that there are not any elements  of Kobe

“The updates we’ve made to Kobe’s line demonstrate a new way of thinking about performance design,” said Eric Avar in a press release.

The most high light design  of  Kobe A.D. is the new lacing system, which is integrated with the Flyknit upper that uses the circular pattern inspired by a lotus flower.  It is enhance the wrapping with new design of  aesthetic ,especial lockdown the feet well when the movement – according to the needs of players to adjust.  Pulling the laces up and out of the lace lock draws the lacing structure together.

About the cushioning ,we’ll know Nike used a solid rubber outsole usually .

The Kobe A.D. NXT offers a drop-in midsole that combines Cushlon with a Zoom Air bag in the heel. The forefoot is siped for flexibility, and the outsole is translucent to show off the tech of Nike .

The circular pattern design on the Flyknit  upper, inspired by the lotus, symbolizes rebirth. This pattern is like a mandala (Hinduism and Buddhism symbolizes the inner of universe) – balanced, harmonious and orderly

Overall , a unique heel construction and a lightweight engineered mesh upper that perfectly co-exists with a natural motion-inspired Zoom Air outsole unit, that is Kobe A.D. NXT ,also the special lace system .

Nobody will refuse it .
