The Kobe 10 'Blackout' edition from 2015 is not named after its color, but rather after Kobe Bryant's intense training sessions, where he would push himself to the point of near-blackouts. Despite the name, the shoe features a bright Persian Violet mesh upper with touches of black. The translucent layer in matching Persian Violet covers the natural-motion outsole and highlights a visible Zoom Air unit at the heel.
