Our verdict
While the Nike Mamba Focus offers premium-looking materials and sleek style, its cushioning, fit, and traction fell short of delivering what wearers expected from it. That said, basketball fans agree that this footgear is not worth having, unlike the Nike PG3 and the Adidas Dame 5, which delivers better results and retailed near the Mamba Focus' price point.

Profile of the Nike Mamba Focus
Similar to LeBron James’s Soldiers and Kyrie Irving’s Flytraps, Kobe Bryant’s Mamba series gives die-hard fans a chance to own a Kobe basketball shoe at a much more affordable price.
In 2019, Bryant’s budget-friendly line was continued with the launch of the Mamba Focus. These Kobe Bryant basketball shoes emulate the Black Mamba’s metamorphosis and allow you to recreate the Black Mamba’s signature moves on the court.
The Mamba Focus embossed upper provides control and stability. The shoe’s low-profile outsole keeps you close to the hardwood, optimizing your ability to step back, and creating some separation and elevation (one of Bryant’s most devastating moves on the court).
Performance of the Nike Mamba Focus
Cushion. The Mamba Focus provides increased energy return as you give it your all on the court.
These low-top Nike basketball shoes are equipped with a Phylon midsole with a forefoot Zoom Air unit. This cushioning setup provides responsive reactions and cushions against hard landings.
Traction. The Nike Mamba Focus boasts a Mamba-inspired traction pattern that allows the wearer to move quickly in any direction. The low-profile outsole also helps you maintain a good feel for the court.
Fit
nike hyperfuse 2012 low grey black pink. Testers claim that the Nike Mamba Focus runs narrow at the forefoot. Wide-footers are advised to try the shoes in-store first if possible.
Lockdown. The Mamba Focus features a lace-up closure that provides a locked-in fit. An external heel cage and molded Swoosh-shaped framework provide lightweight support and containment.
Material
Like the Nike Kobe 6, the Nike Mamba Focus has an embossed, snakeskin-like upper that optimizes stability and containment.
Style
The Mamba Focus features a low-top design that offers lightweight support without restricting ankle movement.
The Nike Mamba Focus emulates a snake’s metamorphosis. The embossed upper is an ode to Bryant shedding his skin to become the lethal Black Mamba on the hardwood. TPU eyelets shaped like snake eyes complete the Mamba-inspired theme.
