MANILA - What's it like to be in Kobe Bryants shoes? The people at Nike Philippines says it fits "like a dream."

In his exclusive Asia-Pacific tour this month, Bryant is set to promote the "Nike Dream Season" sneakers that sport special designs suggested by the superstar Los Angeles Lakers player himself.

This is the latest in a series of Kobe Bryant signature shoes like the Nike Zoom Kobe collection and the Nike Hyperdunk (which he promoted).

In a statement sent by Nike Philippines, the Nike Dream Season sneakers are described as "sleek and aggressive", as well as lightweight and durable, mirroring Bryant's approach to playing basketball.

They are designed with spacer mesh at the upper part of the shoe for heat management and a low heel for increased ankle movement. They also have comfort and cushion with Nike Zoom and LunarLite foam.

The shoes' durability lies in the XDR (Xtra Durable Rubber) outsole and high abrasion coating to prevent wear and tear in certain parts of the shoes.

The Dream Seasons are equipped with natural motion flex grooves, which enhance the feet's natural motion, and herringbone outsoles for traction.

The sneakers also bear Bryant's signature on the heel in embossed stitch and small "81" figures on the outsoles - a tribute for his 81-point score in a January 2006 game, the second highest scoring performance in National Basketball Association (NBA) history.

The shoes are priced at P6,995 and come in colors like black and purple, white and yellow, and white with yellow and purple highlights (the L.A. Lakers' team colors). The shoes are available at all Nike stores nationwide. abs-cbnNEWS.com
