Nike Kobe Mamba Day Restock Drops and Sells Out Fast
The Black Mamba’s most iconic kicks are back on SNKRS — and your window to cop is closing.
April 13 is sacred in sneaker culture. It is Mamba Day — the anniversary of Kobe Bryant’s breathtaking 60-point farewell performance in 2016 — and Nike is honoring the occasion in the most fitting way possible: a massive Nike restock of some of the most sought-after Black Mamba silhouettes from the past year, all live now on the SNKRS app.
Whether you missed out the first time or simply want another shot at lacing up a piece of Kobe history, this is the drop you have been waiting for.
The Nike Mamba Day Restock, Explained
Nike Basketball dropped a wide-ranging restock on SNKRS that spans multiple silhouettes, model years, and storylines — all tied together by the legacy of Kobe Bryant. From the earliest chapter of his signature line to the final laces of his playing career, this release covers the full arc of the Mamba’s footwear journey.
This is not just a routine inventory refresh. The timing is deliberate. April 13 marks exactly a decade since Kobe Bryant scored 60 points in the final game of his NBA career, and Nike is using the moment to remind the world why his footwear remains among the most culturally significant in basketball history.
Every Nike Kobe Style Available in the Restock
The following pairs are now live on the SNKRS app. Sizes are moving fast, so act quickly:
- Kobe 1 81 Points
- Kobe 1 City Of Champions
- Kobe 3 Low Pink Quartz
- Kobe 3 Christmas
- Kobe 4 Barcelona
- Kobe 6 All-Star
- Kobe 6 3D Hollywood
- Kobe 6 Dodgers
- Kobe 8 Year of the Horse
- Air Force 1 City Of Champions
Why These Nike Kobe Pairs Matter
Each shoe in this Nike restock carries its own chapter of Kobe lore, making the lineup feel less like a product drop and more like a curated museum exhibit you can actually wear.
The Kobe 1 81 Points pays tribute to Bryant’s otherworldly 81-point performance against the Toronto Raptors in January 2006 — still the second-highest single-game scoring output in NBA history. The City of Champions editions celebrate Los Angeles itself, a city that shaped Kobe as much as he shaped it.
The Kobe 6 All-Star — also known as the Hollywood 3D — originally dropped during All-Star Weekend 2011, when the then-Staples Center hosted the mid-season classic. Kobe poured in 37 points and hauled down 14 rebounds on his way to his fourth All-Star Game MVP, and while he did not wear the 3D Hollywood pair on the court, he laced them up during his Hollywood Walk of Fame casting ceremony — forever tying the shoe to one of the most memorable weekends of his career.
The Kobe 6 Dodgers gives a nod to Los Angeles’s beloved baseball franchise, while the Kobe 8 Year of the Horse taps into the cultural tradition of Lunar New Year colorways that Nike has long embraced across its basketball lineup.
The Broader Mamba Day Nike Moment
This Nike restock is part of a larger Mamba Day celebration that has taken over the sneaker world. Kobe Bryant‘s legacy in basketball and sneakers cannot be overstated — the man changed how athletes approach their sport, inspired millions, and built one of the greatest signature shoe lines ever designed.
After officially relaunching the Kobe line in August 2023, Nike has released a steady stream of Kobe-branded footwear, rebuilding each model from the ground up with current performance technology for a new generation of players. The Mamba Day restock is the latest and loudest chapter in that ongoing revival.
Sneakerheads who follow the Kobe line know that these restocks rarely last long. Demand consistently outpaces supply, and secondary market prices on platforms like StockX and GOAT climb quickly once SNKRS inventory runs dry.
How to Secure Your Nike Kobe Pair
If you are trying to lock in a pair from this restock, here is what you need to know:
- Head directly to the SNKRS app or Nike.com
- Search each style name listed above
- Add to cart immediately — sizes sell out within minutes
- Set app notifications on SNKRS to stay ahead of any additional drops or size restocks
Supplies are limited, and the clock is ticking. Mamba Day only comes once a year — and Nike made sure this one hits different.
