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.<\/p>\n
Wisdom, focus and individuality bond them. Specifically, Bryant and Irving are inspired by Lee\u2019s famous words, \u201cAlways be yourself. Express yourself. Have faith in yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n
At the age of 17, a young Kyrie Irving donned a pair of \u2018Bruce Lee\u2019 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.<\/p>\n
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<\/a> \u2018Mamba Mentality\u2019. The design is jam-packed with unique detailing, including a hybrid logo, special textures and custom slash marks.<\/p>\n The new Kyrie 3 Mamba Mentality features the following elements that modernize the original Kobe 5, which remains one of Irving\u2019s all-time favorite shoes. The Yellow and Black contrasted upper pays tribute to Lee\u2019s 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 \u2013 a metaphorical torch passing. The new Kyrobe logo fuses Bryant and Irving\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n Bruce Lee was a Hong Kong and American martial artist and actor. He was the founder of Jeet Kune Do, a hybrid martial arts philosophy drawing from different combat disciplines that is often credited with paving the way for modern mixed martial arts (MMA).<\/p>\n Lee is considered by critics, media, and other martial artists to be the most influential martial artist of all time and a pop culture icon of the 20th century, who bridged the gap between East and West.<\/p>\nAbout Bruce Lee<\/h3>\n
