With the growing popularity of the Nike Dunk in mainstream culture over the last few years, it has opened the door for Nike to experiment with one of their most reliable and tried models to date. Recently, we saw Lakers’ Kobe Bryant honored with an anticipated Lower Merion-themed release. Now, Nike takes things one step further and honors Bryant’s 1996 Draft to the Charlotte Hornets.
Kobe Bryant was selected 13th overall to the Charlotte Hornets, but notoriously traded to the Los Angeles Lakers for future Hall-of-Fame center Vlade Divac.
