Nike Kobe Draft Day T-Shirt Collection Honors The 1996 NBA Draft

Nike Kobe Draft Pack Blind Box T-Shirt Collection Releases June 26

Nike continues to celebrate Kobe Bryant’s unforgettable 1996 NBA Draft journey with the second installment of its Kobe Draft Pack series. Following the sneaker release, the brand is now introducing a blind box T-shirt collection inspired by one of the most memorable draft-night stories in basketball history.

Scheduled to launch on June 26, 2026, exclusively through Nike.com, each T-shirt will retail for $60 and be available in men's sizing.

The collection features a range of colorways inspired by the first 13 teams that selected ahead of Bryant during the 1996 NBA Draft. Although the Charlotte Hornets drafted Kobe, his rights were quickly traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, making both franchises central to the collection’s theme. In addition to team-inspired designs, Nike has included a special Lakers edition dressed in the franchise's iconic purple and gold colors.

Every shirt showcases a two-tone color scheme with oversized "KOBE" lettering across the chest, styled to resemble classic team uniforms. A Draft Day patch appears on the lower left hem, featuring graphics that connect directly to the Kobe 4 Draft Day Pack footwear release.

Adding to the excitement, each T-shirt arrives in sealed gold packaging that conceals the colorway inside. The blind box format creates a collectible experience, reflecting the uncertainty and anticipation surrounding draft night itself. With multiple possible team-inspired designs available, buyers won't know which version they receive until the package is opened.

The Nike Kobe Draft Pack Blind Box T-Shirt Collection releases on June 26, 2026. Fans of Kobe Bryant and sneaker culture alike can look forward to adding a unique piece of basketball history to their collection.
