The Mamba's Comeback. Built for War.

The Nike Kobe 11 Elite Low 'Achilles Heel' is one of the most storied colorways in Kobe Bryant's signature line. Released in January 2016, this red and black Flyknit silhouette pays tribute to the Greek myth of Achilles — and to Kobe's own Achilles tendon rupture in 2013, the injury that tested his legendary resilience. This is more than a sneaker. It’s a symbol of comeback.
