TITAN’s Kobe Bryant Installation Celebrates the Year of the Mamba

TITAN celebrates 2025’s “Year of Mamba,” immortalizing Kobe Bryant’s legacy through an installation showcasing two decades of excellence. Their One Bonifacio Mall, Bonifacio Global City branch, heralds the anticipated month-long releases, presenting “instant classic after instant classic” with his 11 Nike on-court challengers, which are still beloved today.

Upon arrival, customers are greeted with a locker-esque exhibit featuring several iconic colorways of his silhouettes, partnered with his farewell “Fade to Black” (FTB) collection. Most of the 2016-released pairs are on display (discounting the Nike Zoom Huarache 2K4 and the Nike Hyperdunk 08), simulating a pleasant trip down memory lane and the greatness that came before.

Intertwined with a snake-inspired pattern, the rightmost side of the installation spotlights Nikko Ramos’ signed Nike Kobe 11 Elite Low FTB. With the date of Bryant’s farewell game etched on the rear, the one-of-one pair has the 2021 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer’s signature on the heel alongside the inscription: “60 All Day”—tributing his final outing against the Utah Jazz and Ramos’ hand tattoo.

More than just a sneaker, Bryant’s tenure with the Swoosh revolutionized the industry through its timeless design and technological advancements. His fourth-eighth silhouettes are still heavily in demand and they maintain a permanent slot as one of hoopers’ all-time favorites.

“More than just shoes, they are a testament to one of the game’s greatest, and will forever reign as among the most innovative and most beloved, forever,” the installation’s inscription notes.

Check out TITAN’s celebratory Kobe Bryant “Year of the Mamba” exhibit at their One Bonifacio branch until the end of January.
