Why This Jersey Is Special

The 1996/97 season marked Kobe Bryant's debut — the youngest player to start an NBA All-Star Game at just 18 years old. Wearing #8, he set the foundation for one of the greatest careers in basketball history. This Mitchell & Ness Authentic jersey captures that exact moment in time, with the same heavyweight mesh and tackle twill details that made the original iconic. Whether displayed or worn, it's a statement piece for any serious collector.

Size Guide

Available in US S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, and 5XL. Mitchell & Ness Authentic jerseys are cut to match the original on-court fit — longer and wider than modern jerseys. For a streetwear look, size down; for a traditional basketball fit, go true to size.
