If you follow basketball, you’re probably aware that last year was another injury-shortened season for Kobe Bryant. Unfortunately, fewer games can also result fewer sneaker releases, especially when there’s no active player to endorse them. One such example is this White/Purple Nike Kobe 10 Elite colorway. Created as a player exclusive for Kobe, it never set foot on the court, as he set out the season after playing only 35 games.

This colorway will most likely never be released, but don’t be surprised if you see the Black Mamba rocking them at the start of the 2015-16 NBA season.
