Nike and FC Barcelona have unveiled the 2026–27 Kobe collection, celebrating Kobe Bryant’s legendary Mamba Mentality with a bold new away kit, lifestyle apparel, and exclusive footwear. Available globally from July 24.
Nike has officially unveiled the 2026–27 Kobe x FC Barcelona away kit and lifestyle collection, marking the second consecutive season of its collaboration that merges Kobe Bryant’s iconic Mamba Mentality with FC Barcelona’s pursuit of excellence.
Building on the success of last season’s inaugural collection, the new release continues to bridge basketball and football culture, celebrating Kobe Bryant’s lifelong passion for the sport and his admiration for Barcelona’s fearless style of play.
The away jersey features a Field Purple base inspired by Kobe’s legendary Lakers colors, complemented by a black mamba-textured pattern symbolizing his relentless work ethic. Gold accents reflect the pursuit of championships, while an iridescent FC Barcelona crest highlights the attention to detail required to compete at the highest level.
Inside the collar, the jersey carries one of Bryant’s most enduring messages: “Leave the game better than you found it,” reinforcing the values of hard work, resilience and continuous improvement.
Designed for elite performance, the kit incorporates Nike Aero-FIT cooling technology, providing lightweight breathability to help players perform at their best in all conditions.
Alongside the match kit, Nike is launching a full lifestyle and training collection, including jackets, hoodies, T-shirts, joggers, shorts and wide-leg pants, all featuring the Kobe Sheath logo alongside the FC Barcelona crest.
The collaboration also extends to footwear with exclusive FC Barcelona editions of the Nike Dunk Low and Kobe 3, carrying the same design language as the apparel collection.
The 2026–27 Kobe x FC Barcelona collection is available globally beginning July 24 through Nike, FC Barcelona Official Stores and select Nike retail locations.
