Kobe 6 Black Mamba Collection Fade to Black

Kobe 6 Black Mamba Collection Fade to Black

Back to the 2010 Black Mamba Run

Nike released the Black Mamba Collection in 2010, a set tied to Kobe Bryant’s mid-career peak when he was chasing his fifth ring. The Kobe 6 Fade to Black is part of that collection, with a gradient black upper that fades from a deeper jet black at the toe to a lighter charcoal at the heel. Polyurethane scales across the upper, original Kobe 6 silhouette designed by Eric Avar. Black Mamba branding on the heel pulls in.

The gradient is the make-or-break detail and on this batch the fade reads smooth rather than blocky. Scales sit precise across the panels with no warping. Standard Kobe 6 Protro fit. Among the harder-to-find legacy Kobe reps in our lineup. More cuts on the best Kobe reps page. Full fake shoes catalog from the homepage.
