Toronto Raptors All-Star DeMar DeRozan officially unveiled the Nike Kobe A.D. NXT 360 in Wednesday’s nationally televised game with the Cleveland Cavaliers. DeRozan scored 21 points, had three rebounds and five assists in the Raptors’ 132-129 loss at Quicken Loans Arena.
Of course, the result of the game carried little significance for sneakerheads who have anticipated the new Kobe signature shoe model since Nike CEO Mark Parker and Bryant alluded to it at last October’s Investor Day address.
The message was developing a product that again pushes the boundaries by among other goals, creating a lightweight shoe that doesn’t compromise stability or performance.
