Nike honored Kobe Bryant’s retirement from the NBA with the 'Fade to Black' collection, which included the Zoom Kobe 6 model. Inspired by Bryant’s pick-up game in Manila, these sneakers feature River Rock snakeskin patterns on the upper, supported by a synthetic heel counter and a leather branded tongue. Combining style with performance, they incorporate Zoom Air technology for responsive cushioning in the midsole. This iconic silhouette, known for its sleek grey colorway, has become a must-have in the basketball shoe category, highlighted by its SKU 869457-007 and the nickname 'Fade to Black'.
