Although official press images of Nike Basketball’s “Flip The Switch” Pack didn’t initially include shots of the Nike Kobe A.D., Bryant’s post retirement signature model is most definitely a part of the revered collection. Because after all, who flipped the switch better than Bean?
Following Kobe’s 60 point farewell at Staples which stands as maybe the best career closing game we’ll ever see, memories of his other amazing moments begin to shift to the front of our thoughts. His 81 point outburst against Toronto, his magical NBA Finals moments against the Celtics, Pistons and so many others. Few turned it on better than Bryant, and his Nike Kobe A.D. “Flip The Switch” edition, if nothing else, resurrects those memories as if they happened yesterday.
Relive those moments when the shoe drops on May 5 at Nike. Additionally, be sure to vote in our “Flip The Switch” sneaker bracket here.
