Nike Kobe 11 Mambacurial Boots Released
Talk of Barcelona in a sporting context and the conversation inevitably turns to football. But the blaugrana host a diverse range of sports under their umbrella, one of which is basketball. Little wonder that Nike turned to the club for inspiration when they revealed the Kobe 11 Mambacurial range.
The Kobe range was one of Nike’s most popular colourways, with the Kobe 11 Mambacurial, inspired by the Mercurial boots pink and lime green colours.
