Nike Kobe 1-7 Prelude Releases Preview

It is no secret that retro sneakers have surpassed new releases in popularity and every major sneaker company has begun to bring back earlier models, which only adds to the nostalgia that seemingly surrounds every release. Now it appears the retro sneaker business has become so popular that multiple NBA stars may have their early models hit retailers once again before they get a chance to retire. This trend is confirmed by a recent image, seen below, that pictures the so-called Nike Kobe "Prelude Pack". The pack is set to feature Bryant's first seven sneakers while a member of the Nike Basketball team. As you can see, the preview image is very blurry, likely done on purpose, but the outline and general colorways of each model can be seen. With the Kobe signature series getting the retro treatment it is likely only a matter of time before other NBA superstars (such as LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony) get similar treatment. The lineup along with colorway and release date information for the pack can be seen in the Nike/Jordan Brand Q1 Preview that recently surfaced. Note that the Air Jordan Melo 1.5 will also be receiving the retro treatment along with the Kobe series.

How do you feel about the current NBA players having their signature sneakers receive the retro treatment? Too soon? Or should it have happened already? Let us know what you think by leaving a comment below and be sure to stay tuned for further details.
