Kobe Bryant's latest VI gives nod to his love of the round ball game, and in particular the all conquering Barca FCB. A soccer nut when growing up in Italy, Bryant became a Barcelona fan during Ronaldinho's stint at the club (check Kobe on the cover of ESPN's Fan Issue decked Barca red and blue!) With a swag of Barca team shirts in his collection, including that of the mercurial Lionel Messi, Kobe's Barca fixation reaches its peak here, with this puce and black number drawing on the club's away shirt with the team's famous shield tucked under the tongue. Reportedly a Euro only release, thanks to TY from Niketalk, Kenlu and Nice Kicks for the news.
