Kobe’s season might have ended a little early, but just like a superhero, he saved the Laker’s season by getting them into the playoffs. That makes this upcoming Nike Kobe 8 Elite “Superhero” Pack that much sweeter. Like the rest of the pairs in this series, the Superhero Kobe VIII takes inspiration from Kobe’s main talents. In this case, the sneaker focuses on speed and quickness, and uses a snake theme. the majority of the sneaker has been covered in a bright green with black on the swoosh. A speckled carbon fiber-like material has been used on the heel, while a translucent purple has been used to match the graphics. What really helps this colorway to stand above the rest, however, is the use of  a clear box, making the sneaker appear as if it were an action figure. This colorway will release on April 27, retailing for $200. From SN.
