All-Star Weekend has a way of pulling memory and motion into the same moment, and Nike is leaning into that pull for Los Angeles in 2026. Ahead of the festivities, a new set of Kobe Bryant All-Star 1998 graphic tees has quietly begun circulating, reviving imagery tied to Bryant’s first All-Star appearance nearly three decades ago.
Built around the Sheath logo that defined much of Kobe’s early Nike era, the shirts center a stylized dunk graphic that feels very late-’90s without looking dated. Soft airbrushed stars spread across the chest, framing the image the way vintage basketball posters once did, while the black and white color options keep the focus on the artwork rather than the palette.
The cotton build reads clean and straightforward, letting the print do the heavy lifting and keeping the piece wearable beyond game week. The timing also signals how Nike continues to treat Kobe’s early career as a living reference point rather than a static archive.
While Nike hasn’t confirmed an official release date on its site, the Nike Kobe All-Star 1998 T-Shirts have already started showing up at select retailers such as Dick’s Sports Goods, retailing for $60 USD each.
