Nike Zoom Kobe 5 “Aston Martin”

The Nike Zoom Kobe 5 “Aston Martin” is a legendary colorway inspired by Kobe Bryant’s love for luxury, speed, and precision — qualities embodied both on the hardwood and under the hood of an Aston Martin. This release was part of the famous Aston Martin Pack, which also included a matching Kobe Hyperdunk, and commemorates Kobe’s iconic moment when he “jumped over” an Aston Martin in a viral 2008 video.
