The gold, Persian violet and black color scheme draws on the Lakers’ palette and Bryant’s “Black Mamba” persona, with 3D silicone snake-skin textures applied to the Sheath emblem and the club crest. FC Barcelona premiered the kit in a “Mamba Rondo” campaign video featuring top men’s and women’s players including Gavi, Frenkie de Jong, Alejandro Balde, Alexia Putellas and Salma Paralluelo. The launch includes a full FC Barcelona x Kobe collection, from pre-match shirts and basketball jerseys to tracksuits and limited-edition footwear. Fans can purchase the new kit and related merchandise starting July 29 at all FC Barcelona and Nike retail outlets and online. The second strip will be worn for the first time in Barcelona’s July 31 preseason friendly against FC Seoul in South Korea.
