Ahead of their 2025–26 season opener, the USC Men’s Basketball team has revealed an exclusive set of Nike Kobe 5 Player Exclusives, continuing the program’s deep connection to Kobe Bryant’s basketball legacy in Los Angeles.
The Trojans’ latest footwear lineup showcases three amazing colorways: a white and crimson design with gold accents, a bold red rendition with yellow detailing, and a sleek black-based pair with bright red contrasts. Each iteration features USC-inspired tones that tie the school’s storied history to the Kobe line’s iconic on-court performance DNA.
The Kobe 5 remains one of the most celebrated silhouettes from Nike Basketball’s archives, praised for its lightweight construction, Zoom Air cushioning, and sharp design that became synonymous with Kobe’s Mamba Mentality. These USC-exclusive editions carry that same competitive spirit, perfectly aligning with the program’s renewed energy under the bright lights of Los Angeles.
While these PEs are not expected to release to the public, their unveiling adds to the growing list of collegiate programs receiving exclusive Nike Kobe colorways, reaffirming the brand’s ongoing commitment to honoring Kobe’s legacy through basketball’s next generation.
