Kobe Bryant played in Boston for the last time ever last night, making for a special moment for basketball fans. Despite being heated rivals, the Boston Celtics honored Bryant with a special plaque and piece of their parquet floor. To add to the historical relevance of this night, Bryant also debuted the Nike Kobe XI.

Bryant has played in the Kobe X up until this point, and now it looks like we'll be seeing him wearing the XI in his final NBA games. This particular pair looks like the colorway that leaked a couple of months ago, which has now been confirmed as his next sneaker. Given that this is his final playing sneaker, expect Nike to provide plenty of colorways in 2016.

Release information for this colorway is not available yet.
