Kobe X Silk Resuscitates Kobe Bryant’s Memory of European and Asian Connections

As renowned Fashionshop Blackpremier.com mentions, the design of the featured Kobe X Silk is to honor Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant's affinity of Europe and Asia. Italy was where he grew up since his father landed a professional career as a basketball player there. He has ventured to China as an adult and basketball superstar to meet fans and other players.

These European and Asian connections led Nike designers to think about the legendary Silk Road, which historically linked European and Asian traders. The Silk Road serves as the inspiration for the Kobe X Silk, which features design cues reminiscent of first century silk tapestries -- which were often designed in orange and burgundy.

The Kobe X Silk is an imaginative creation, and one that is sure to resonate with Kobe worshippers and aficionados, Trendhunter notes.
