Nike Kobe 10 Elite (Ignite)

UPDATE: Don't forget Extra Butter NY is also stocking these if you're fiendin' the cop!

A post-season release of a Kobe signature sneak is an amusing concept, given the fortunes of Bryant and his beloved Lakers in recent years, but Nike push on because they know the people dig fresh pairs in any form. Perhaps hoping to attain some of the mad love that the Kobe 9 high-top scored last year, the Elite version of the low-cut reaches for the stars much like its predecessor. Dressed up in a Flyknit suit that would make any audacious Angelino proud, the Kobe 10 Elite 'Ignite' is due out on April 17 at Nike Basketball retailers, including Rock City Kicks.
