Kobe Bryant‘s long awaited “Black Mamba Pack” is set to begin releasing sooner than expected
Thursday morning, Nike dropped big news when they announced that the Kobe Bryant “Black Mamba Pack,” formerly called the “Fade to Black Pack,” would be releasing starting March 22.
According to Nike, the pack will stick to its original moniker and fade from white to black, “an appropriate metaphor leading into Bryant’s final game on April 13.”
Additionally, while it was previously thought that the pack would just include Kobe Bryant’s signature sneaker models, it has also been revealed that the iconic Huarache 2K4 and the 2008 Hyperdunk will also be included in the pack bringing the total to 13 glorious sneakers.
Per Nike.com,
"The Black Mamba Pack is available beginning March 22, starting with the Nike Huarache 2K4 in white. Each of the 13 shoes will be available globally, in limited quantities, at select retail locations and via Nike SNKRS leading into Bryant’s final game on April 13, when he’ll wear his final shoe: the KOBE 11 in black/gold."

Nike has done a great job marketing Kobe’s last campaign and continues to do so with the Black Mamba Pack.
Though no update has been revealed about the pricing of each shoe, fully expect them to range from $200 to $250 a pair, for a total likely around three grand for the entire pack.
