The Nike Kobe A.D. Mid Lakers Black Mamba was released as a tribute to Kobe Bryant, who was also nicknamed the "Black Mamba." 

The Kobe A.D. Mid Lakers Black Mamba features a black with University Gold accents on the sole and branding. The shoe is made with a lightweight and breathable upper that provides support and flexibility on the court. It also has a padded collar and tongue for added comfort and a secure fit. The outsole is made with rubber material that provides traction on the court. 

We think that one of the key features of the Nike Kobe A.D. Mid Lakers Black Mamba is its unique lacing system. The shoe has a Lunarlon midsole that provides cushioning and support, while the laces are integrated into the midsole for a more secure fit. This design feature ensures that the shoe stays firmly on the foot during quick movements and cuts on the court, providing the wearer with added stability and control. The Nike Kobe A.D. Mid Lakers Black Mamba was released on December 23rd, 2017, at a retail price of $160.
