Kobe Bryant aka “The Black Mamba” turns 39 years old today, but for a guy as fiercely competitive as he is, age is just a number. His “Mamba Mentality” is now being applied in other facets of his life now that he’s retired from the game, but he’s passed down that unrelenting attitude to a select number of stars that are in the NBA today. Featuring five colorways: Grey, Blue, Purple, Red, and Yellow, the Grey pair represents calm neutrality, while Blue relays dependability and honesty. Yellow signifies positivity, with Red as a symbol of passion, and finally Purple represents overcoming challenges and setting fresh goals.
