The Nike Kyrie 5 EP 'Mamba Mentality' sneaker was first introduced in April 2019 as a tribute to Kobe Bryant and his last NBA game. Taking inspiration from the Chaos Zoom Kobe 5's color scheme, this sneaker features a mesh upper with a stylish snakeskin print, vibrant neon Swooshes, and an innovative lace shroud. Additionally, the shoe is adorned with Kobe Bryant's signature on the external heel counter and a unique hybridized tongue badge that pays homage to both Kobe Bryant and Kyrie Irving. To complete the reverence, the Nike Kyrie 5 EP 'Mamba Mentality' incorporates a Zoom Air midsole and a curved rubber outsole tread that echo the tribute's overall design.
