Last night, Kobe Bryant gave us an early look at the home version of the Nike Kobe VIII Elite. Unfortunately, both the sneaker’s debut and the Lakers 113-106 victory over the Trailblazers was overshadowed by Kobe’s Achilles tendon late in the 4th quarter. Despite the likely season-ending injury, the Mamba managed to lead all Lakers with 34 points. There is currently no release date for this Elite Kobe VIII colorway, but check back for an update. In the meantime, let’s wish Kobe a speedy recovery.
