The shoe also boasts debossed branding on the tongue and a matching Sail sole, adding to its sleek aesthetic. This edition was part of Kobe's 'Fade to Black' / 'Black Mamba' collection, which encompassed a total of 13 exclusives colorways for the entire Kobe signature shoe line, including the Hyperdunk and Huarache 2k4.
