In 2016, Kobe Bryant released his twelfth signature shoe, breaking away from traditional number categorization and naming it the 'Kobe A.D.' as a nod to his retirement from basketball. The shoe featured a sleek black and white design, showcasing a modern construction highlighted by an Engineered Mesh upper and Dynamic Flywire technology for enhanced support and lockdown. It also boasted a Lunarlon foam midsole with Zoom Air technology for responsive cushioning, and a micro-tread traction outsole for superior grip on the court.
