Kobe fans unite! The Nike Kobe Vault is here and full of gems.

Yes, that's right. The Nike Kobe Vault has officially launched via the Nike SNKRS app, and it's already off to a heck of a start with its sick early 2000s-themed metallic silver vault that has the Kobe logo front and center. Per the brand, the Kobe Vault provides a rundown of the Kobe 1 to the Kobe 11, providing key details and notable colorways for each one. Even select Protro models and limited-run player exclusives are included in the lineup.

What's more, sneakerheads will also be given the chance to explore Nike’s storytelling approach for all things Kobe history through a curated look into one of the most impactful and respected sneaker lines in the history of basketball. A statement from the SNKRS app reads. "Welcome to the Kobe Vault, an always-evolving display of Kobe Bryant's signature legacy with Nike."

The statement continues: "Upon Kobe officially joining Nike as a signature athlete in 2003, he reinvented the working model and norms with signature footwear. He came to the table with ideas and requests that challenged the most skilled sneaker designers and developers. Those ideas and the embrace of always improving upon previous ideas led to revolutionary breakthroughs in performance basketball history."

More updates are expected on the vault in the future, but in the meantime, you can click on each signature Kobe sneaker for an in-depth look into its respective history and importance.
