In 2018, Nike Basketball and Kobe Bryant expanded their collection with the introduction of the striking Kobe A.D. Mid 'Pure Platinum' sneaker. Designed with a platinum upper adorned with tonal accents and a metallic Swoosh, this sneaker pays homage to Kobe's illustrious career. It features distinctive symbols that represent the significant milestones in Kobe's journey, such as his signature displayed on both tongues, 16 Lakers' championship trophies depicted on the left heel counter, and Roman Numerals representing his five finals victories showcased under the tongue on the right foot.
