The Elusive Kobe X

As Kobe Bryant’s career is quickly coming to a close, Nike is celebrating his career with numerous releases leading up to Mamba Day. From the Fade to Black pack, today’s release is a dark Kobe X with Flyknit. So far I’ve admired the Kobe X from afar and came so close to getting a pair while discount shopping.

I snoozed and these Kobe X “Easter” #kicks were gone 🙁 #palms16

Yup, these crazy Easter colored kicks were gone when I went back to buy them. There were other colorways, but I just couldn’t.

The Kobe X Elite feel so much better but not a fan of the rookie colorway (and price, even discounted) #palms16

So when I saw the Fade to Black Kobe X, I just had to enter The Draw for a chance to purchase them. Sadly, the Kobe X will remain elusive as I wasn’t selected from The Draw.
