Authentic throwback NBA jersey from Mitchell & Ness, replicating the iconic 1996-97 Los Angeles Lakers road uniform worn by rookie Kobe Bryant. Features a black mesh polyester body with gold and purple trim on the V-neck collar and armholes, 'Los Angeles' scripted in purple with gold outline across the chest, and the number '8' in bold purple with gold border and black inner fill. The NBA logo appears on the upper right chest, while the Mitchell & Ness 'Hardwood Classics' woven jock tag (1996-97) is sewn on the lower left hem. Made with breathable, lightweight athletic mesh for comfort and authenticity. Ideal for basketball fans, collectors, streetwear enthusiasts, or game-day wear—pairs effortlessly with jeans, shorts, or layered under jackets. The vintage design captures early-'90s NBA aesthetics with precise embroidery and screen-printed details, offering both nostalgic appeal and modern fit. Perfect for casual outings, sports events, or as a statement piece in urban fashion.
