Description
At first thought, Kobe Bryant and Kyrie Irving have little in common with Bruce Lee. However, the basketball and martial arts stars do share striking personal and philosophical similarities.
Wisdom, focus and individuality bond them. Specifically, Bryant and Irving are inspired by Lee’s famous words, “Always be yourself. Express yourself. Have faith in yourself.”
At the age of 17, a young Kyrie Irving donned a pair of ‘Bruce Lee’ Kobe 5s to play at the Nike Extravaganza in California. He channeled his inner mamba by wearing a special Kobe 5 that was inspired by the late martial artist, actor and philosopher, Lee.
Now an established 25-year old star, Irving pays tribute to his mentor (and channel’s Bryant’s serpentine mantra) with his own Bruce Lee-inspired sneaker: the Kyrie 3 ‘Mamba Mentality’. The design is jam-packed with unique detailing, including a hybrid logo, special textures and custom slash marks.
The new Kyrie 3 Mamba Mentality features the following elements that modernize the original Kobe 5, which remains one of Irving’s all-time favorite shoes. The Yellow and Black contrasted upper pays tribute to Lee’s trademark colors. Four Red slash marks connect to Lee. A snakeskin-inspired medial side represents the Black mamba, fading to Samurai on the lateral side for Kyrie – a metaphorical torch passing. The new Kyrobe logo fuses Bryant and Irving’s Nike logos into one. Lastly, the Samurai textile print on the lateral side is similar to the pattern on the initial Kyrie 3 colorway worn by Irving in a big 2016 Christmas day win.
About Bruce Lee

When did Kyrie 3 drop?
Kyrie 3 was released in 2016, similar to the previous release, with few differences. The shoes had an aggressive traction pattern and low cushion.
The sneaker had the slogan “Just be yourself” on the tongue. It is the best one that excelled in heel containment and lockdown. The lacing system allowed tying off the laces one loop down to give individual fit.
The shoe sole and design have details about his daughter’sdaughter’s birthday and the name of her mother around the sole.
