The college career that never was, Kobe Bryant’s days at Duke were limited to campus visits and a verbal commitment. Still, Nike and the straight-to-the-league superstar look out for what would be his alma mater. Next up is this Zoom Kobe VI, which is not officially tied to the school, but looks to have been inspired by Durham’s finest institution. The Varsity Royal upper matches up with the liner and semi-translucent outsole, while white and black are used elsewhere on the shoe, completing the Blue Devil colorway. No university branding from Duke appears on this sneaker, but don’t be surprised to see players from the perennial powerhouse rock it soon.
