Description
A notable update on this reissue is the "98" embroidered on the toe, a nod to the year of the All-Star game, replacing the original "8," which referenced Bryant's jersey number at the time. Another design difference is the pull-tabs on the tongue and heel, this time coming in black and silver with 3M accents, while the original pair and subsequent retros featured gold and purple. The design is completed with a black and white foam midsole incorporating EVA cushioning, ensuring comfort and performance, paired with a black and purple rubber outsole.
