Nike's Mamba Mentality apparel collection was created to celebrate all the things that made Kobe Bryant such a special player throughout his NBA career. The Nike Kobe Mamba Mentality Los Angeles Lakers City Edition Swingman Jersey (FW23) Black was one of the many pieces of apparel that was featured in this collection.
The majority of this jersey was black, and it featured a snakeskin-embossed pattern on it in tribute to Kobe's "Black Mamba" nickname. It also had smaller hints of the Los Angeles Lakers' gold and purple colors, and it was made of a moisture-wicking fabric to make it lightweight when worn on the basketball court.
