A purple colorway of the new Kobe A.D.’s has leaked, and it looks a little better than the original reveal

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma was a fan of the new Nike signature shoe for Kobe Bryant that was revealed earlier this week, but the internet’s reaction to the latest model of Kobe A.D.’s seemed to be a bit more polarizing.

Yours truly thought the original colorway (that is rumored to be dropping on 8/24, also known as “Mamba Day”) was a little too busy, looking a bit like a child picked all their favorite colors and painted them on a shoe in a seemingly-random assault of the visual senses.
