This time around, Nike Basketball utilizes the Kobe 11 EM instead of the premium woven counterpart. The Kobe 11 Mambacurial benefits from a soccer inspired look even though it ditches the forefoot Swoosh for a more traditional side panel to contrast the bold ‘Nike’ branding on the medial side. The Nike Kobe 11 Mambacurial also throws in a semi-translucent outsole to match the Action Green accents throughout.
