Kobe Bryant‘s long awaited “Black Mamba Pack” is set to begin releasing sooner than expected

Thursday morning, Nike dropped big news when they announced that the Kobe Bryant “Black Mamba Pack,” formerly called the “Fade to Black Pack,” would be releasing starting March 22.

According to Nike, the pack will stick to its original moniker and fade from white to black, “an appropriate metaphor leading into Bryant’s final game on April 13.”

Additionally, while it was previously thought that the pack would just include Kobe Bryant’s signature sneaker models, it has also been revealed that the iconic Huarache 2K4 and the 2008 Hyperdunk will also be included in the pack bringing the total to 13 glorious sneakers.

Per Nike.com,

The Black Mamba Pack is available beginning March 22, starting with the Nike Huarache 2K4 in white. Each of the 13 shoes will be available globally, in limited quantities, at select retail locations and via Nike SNKRS leading into Bryant’s final game on April 13, when he’ll wear his final shoe: the KOBE 11 in black/gold.

Along Bryant’s journey, he’s taken inspiration from around the world. 13 cities are represented with GPS coordinate markings in The Black Mamba Pack boxes. Athletes and fans of Bryant are encouraged to track his inspirational journey to find out the inside story and making of a HeroVillain.

Nike has done a great job marketing Kobe’s last campaign and continues to do so with the Black Mamba Pack.

Though no update has been revealed about the pricing of each shoe, fully expect them to range from $200 to $250 a pair, for a total likely around three grand for the entire pack.

With only 13 games left on the season, and Kobe Bryant’s lingering shoulder injury, you never know how many games the Black Mamba has left in him, so be sure to cherish every moment you get to see greatness personified.
