Celebrating An Icon! Spalding’s Limited-Edition “Kobe Marbled Snake” Basketball

The good folks over at Spalding are back! This time around, the brand has released a limited-edition basketball called the “Kobe Marbled Snake.” The limited-edition design follows the “Silver” iteration and marks the second installment of the Marble Series. The series features a collection of premium basketballs that pays tribute to Kobe Bryant.

Spalding noted that the “Kobe Marbled Snake” is inspired by the stars “self-awareness, curiosity, balance, and obsession.” These elements are “all pillars to the Mamba Mentality.” The ball arrives in a striking purple and gold marble pattern, which is seen over top of monochromatic panels of black and white.

The design represents Kobe’s two careers played as #8 and #24. A subtle snakeskin texture covers the ball while Spalding branding and Kobe’s signature finish off the design. Each piece has been uniquely patterned, which means no two basketballs are the same.

Check out the limited-edition “Kobe Marbled Snake” basketball in the image up top and look for the ball now on the label’s website. In the meantime, keep it locked for more from the intersection of sports and lifestyle.
