As a nod to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, which are conquest, war, famine, and death, that all stand for different phases in Kobe Bryant's past career. The Pale Horse, being the last horse from the pack to release and noting back to the Black Mamba's career finally coming to an end, features Grey tones throughout the Nike Flyknit upper with Black Dynamic Flywire cables. To bring out that skeletal look, the shoe adds a rib-cage inspired heel and also includes a skull graphic on the insole.
