The Nike Mamba Focus University Red was designed as a tribute to basketball legend Kobe Bryant, with the goal of meeting the comfort and performance needs he demanded of his footwear during his career. Crafted with lightweight materials, a breathable upper keeps feet ventilated and cool even during the most intense games, while the multidirectional pattern of the outsole provides peace of mind with its reliable traction. A secure lacing system allows for a well-supported and secure fit, while subtle detailing and a signature Swoosh logo pay stylish homage to Kobe Bryant’s legacy in sports. What our experts most enjoy about the Nike Mamba Focus University Red is their outsole, with its low-profile mix of herringbone and multidirectional traction patterns that work together to ensure optimal grip on a number of surfaces. These shoes originally retailed for $100 when they first released on May 1, 2019, for $100.
