5 NCAA Teams That Could Be The Next "Mamba Program"
After three years of slow progress and uncertainty, the future of the signature Kobe Bryant line has never looked brighter. In recent weeks, Nike has announced its plans to relaunch the "Kobe Brand" with a plethora of sneakers scheduled to release over the next year.
This past weekend, we found out that Vanessa Bryant handpicked the Kentucky Wildcats as the first "Mamba Program." Kentucky's basketball team will receive player-exclusive sneakers, apparel, and eventually uniforms donning Bryant's signature Sheath logo.
It is hard not to get giddy with excitement when thinking about the relaunch of the Kobe Brand. That is why FanNation Kicks has already created a list of five NCAA athletic programs sponsored by Nike that make the most sense for becoming the next Kobe Brand school.
