In April 2016, Nike released the 'Fade To Black' Collection as a tribute to Kobe Bryant's illustrious career. This collection commemorated his retirement by offering three models, namely the Huarache 2k4, Nike Hyperdunk 2008, and Kobe's 11 signature footwear. Each model featured tonal colorways that transitioned from solid white on the Huarache 2k4 to black on the Kobe 11 Elite Low. Among these models, the Nike Zoom Kobe 3 'FTB' was particularly remarkable, showcasing a unique web-like design in a charming Matte Silver colorway. Kobe Bryant wore these shoes during the 2007-2008 NBA season, adding sentimental value to this special edition.
