Nike Kobe Draft Pack T-Shirt Collection Releases June 26

Nike

Nike is releasing its second Kobe Draft Pack as a blind box t-shirt collection on June 26, 2026. The collection honors the 1996 NBA Draft, one of the defining moments in basketball history. Each t-shirt is priced at $60 and available in men’s sizing on Nike.com.

The designs in the pack draw their color palettes from the first 13 selections made during that draft night. This approach ties the apparel directly to the players and teams involved in one of the most impactful drafts in NBA history. The blind box format means buyers will not know which design they receive until after purchase, adding an element of surprise to the release.

The 1996 NBA Draft marked a significant year for the league, introducing several players who would go on to shape the sport for decades. By tying the t-shirt designs to the draft selections and their associated team colors, Nike creates a visual connection to that historic night.

This is the second installment of Nike’s Kobe Draft Pack, continuing the brand’s approach of honoring key moments through apparel-focused releases. The blind box model has become a popular retail strategy for driving engagement, as collectors seek to obtain specific designs from the collection.
