The Nike Mamba Focus TB Black White Dark Gray is an installment of late NBA star Kobe Bryant's Mamba line with Nike.
The Nike Mamba Focus Team Bank Black White Dark Gray features an upper of black synthetic textile with a snake-skin pattern to evoke the idea of molting and evolution. The flat laces thread directly through the upper material, which is enhanced at the eyestays with a thin layer of black synthetic. A black synthetic molded heel counter sports an embossed tonal Kobe logo, while the tongue displays a white Kobe logo. A white Nike Swoosh hits the medial side, and a larger one dips onto the midsole on the lateral, rounding out the striking look of this upper.
What we find most enjoyable about this sneaker is its three-toned foam midsole. Black with gray on the lateral forefoot and white on the medial forefoot, the foam houses Zoom Air under the forefoot. The outsole provides grip in both black and white rubber. The Nike Mamba Focus TB Black White Dark Gray was released on January 1, 2019, for $100 retail.
