This pair, an original colorway of the Nike Kobe 5, was launched in 2010. It connects to Kobe Bryant’s High School, Lower Merion, which he attended in Pennsylvania. As most know, Bryant never attended college and went straight to the NBA from High School.

It is built with a synthetic upper in Metallic Silver, while the Flywire cables are seen throughout, aiding in lockdown. In addition, Team Red fills in the Kobe shield logo on the tongues, Swoosh, eyestays, and the liner. An Aces logo on the heel highlights the pair, joined by Kobe Bryant’s signature. The design is completed with a primarily White midsole.
