Nike is continuing their 'Year of the Mamba' releases in honor of NBA legend Kobe Bryant as they'll add another look to the popular concept.

Nike released a Nike Kobe 9 Elite, two colorways of the Kobe 5, and a Kobe 6 in memory of Gigi Bryant. Both editions of the Kobe 5 came with snakeskin graphics in gold throughout the uppers. This upcoming release will opt for a similar design, but will instead black-out the embossed snake for a monochromatic look.
Stacking this upcoming drop against previous ones, we can expect a much more hyped release surrounding these thanks to their exclusivity as an addition to the already popular Year of the Mamba colorways.
Nike Kobe 5 Year of the Mamba 'Triple Black'
The latest drop will come in a Triple Black colorway, indicating all aspects of the shoe will be monochromatic. We see the typical Nike Kobe 5 Protro silhouette based in a Nike Zoom outsole. The hallmark feature here is the stitched mamba entangling around the Nike Swoosh. Following the structure of its two predecessors, the snake graphic remains on the lateral shoe and does not extend towards the medial side.

The only other key detail on this shoe is the neon green jeweled Black Mamba logo on the tongue, adding a nice overall touch to the tone of the shoe. Overall, these are right on-brand with the Black Mamba and we would be expect a frantic release around these come drop date.
The Nike Kobe 5 Year of the Mamba 'Triple Black' never released as it was intended to in early 2025, but this updated look at a PE (player exclusive) version of the shoe could offer a promising sign towards an eventual release.

Cardinals place outfielder Victor Scott II on 10-day IL with left ankle sprain
ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals placed outfielder Victor Scott II on the 10-day injured list before Sunday's series finale against the New York Yankees. Scott had an MRI and it revealed he has a left ankle sprain. He collided with the outfield wall in pursuit of Aaron Judge's home run in the third inning of Saturday's game, a 12-8 Yankees victory. Outfielder Nathan Church and left-handed pitcher Anthony Veneziano have been selected from Triple-A Memphis. Right-handed pitcher Roddery Muñoz was optioned to Memphis. Church will start in center and hit ninth. Scott was hurt when he was trying to rob Judge of a home run. Scott almost brought back the Yankees slugger's first career home run against the Cardinals after going high above the center-field wall with his glove. He landed awkwardly on his left ankle. Scott has played in 116 games this season. He is hitting .223 with five home runs and 35 RBIs. Scott has 31 stolen bases. Two starters also remain out of the St. Louis lineup — first baseman Willson Contreras (right foot contusion) and second baseman Brendan Donovan (left foot/groin soreness). Contreras was hit by a pitch on the foot Tuesday and hasn't played since. Alec Burleson has started each of St. Louis' four games at first base since Contreras has been sidelined. Donovan has been dealing with leg and foot injuries since being removed from a game against Toronto on June 10 with a sprained capsule in his left big toe. He has not played in the series against the Yankees. ___ AP MLB:
