In the 1996 NBA Draft, the Charlotte Hornets made a noteworthy trade with the Los Angeles Lakers. They traded their 13th overall pick in exchange for center Vlade Divac. Interestingly, the Lakers utilized this pick to select none other than Kobe Bryant himself. To commemorate this historic event, Nike released the Zoom Kobe 6 'Draft Day' sneakers, featuring a vibrant color scheme inspired by the Hornets. The upper is adorned with a sleek white snakeskin-like texture, complemented by a striking Varsity Purple Swoosh and laces. Additionally, Photo Blue accents grace the heel counter, lining, and midsole, adding a contrasting touch to the design.
