A Closer Look At The Full Nike x Barcelona x Kobe Collection

Nike just dropped one of the best crossovers we have seen in sport with a FC Barcelona x Kobe Bryant collab. The striking new away shirt for 2025/26 took the headlines, but let’s take some time to look at the full collection.

We’ve all seen it. The brand-new Barcelona away kit for 2025/26 has dropped and it hits hard. Nike and Barça have crossed over into the world of basketball to link up with Kobe Bryant’s brand for a one-of-a-kind collaboration. The kit – a beauty, no doubt about it. A light gold base paired with violet and black detailing, finished with subtle snakeskin pattern and that iconic Black Mamba symbol. However, it was launched alongside a full apparel collection, and we are here to show a little love to the rest of the pieces.

The full collection sees a mixture of footwear and lifestyle pieces. One of the highlights of the capsule is a limited-edition Kobe x FCB Air Force 1, which arrives in a striking purple colourway. This is dropped alongside a Kobe 4 Protro sneaker, which models the same light gold featured on the away kit. Finishing off the footwear is every footballer’s saviour – a pair of post-match slides.

Onto apparel, each piece dons a black aesthetic complemented by pops of purple. The star of the show is a snake-skin textured GX jacket that perfect brings that Mamba Mentality to life with a clean, menacing look. Other pieces include an anthem jacket, pre-match training top, pre-match sweatshirt, T-shirt, and shorts.

Nike mean business with this one.
