Originally these were called “Hornets”, Kobe called them “Blue Lights”, and now we’re hearing “Draft Day”. No matter which name you prefer to give this pair, they all seem to reference the Hornets, which seems to fit the sneaker quite well. Originally, Kobe was drafted by the Charlotte Hornets, who ended up getting traded to the Lakers. This sneaker represents what might have been. A release date for this sneaker is still in the works, so stay tuned.
