As part of the 11th pair of shoes in the Kobe collection, Nike has released a pair of gradient sneakers.
The shoes are titled 'Master of Innovation' and were designed as an homage to the famous basketball player Kobe Bryant -- who has collaborated with the brand for some time now. The gradient shoes start with a yellow front that is made multi-dimensional with orange and green colors and it slowly fades into a metal gray towards the middle of the shoe. The rest of the shoe comes in various shades of gray and white, allowing the yellow stand out.
These gradient sneakers honor a prominent figure that has been more involved in the designs of the shoes in his collection than any other athletes that Nike has collaborated with.
