Nike, over time, has associated the 'Halo' colorway with Kobe Bryant's dedicated line, gracing models like the Kobe 8 Protro and the Kobe 9s with its ethereal touch. This year, the 'Halo' palette transcends footwear, making its way into a stunning four-piece apparel collection, set to drop in honor of Bryant’s birthday.
A sleek all-white Dri-Fit hoodie us the standout piece of this collection, adorned with subtle silver accents and the iconic Black Mamba logo. Complementing the hoodie is a full-zip collared sweater in the same colorway, featuring the triangular logo on the chest—perfect for both performance and casual wear. Rounding out the collection are a pair of basketball shorts and a matching jersey. Each piece is reversible for added versatility, with the opposite side revealing a clean, all-white look.
The new 'Halo' apparel capsule launches on August 23.
