Today we have a look at easily the brightest and most creative Koeb 8 colorway yet. Simply called GC, this pair uses basically every color on the spectrum to form a beautiful pattern that would make Dr. Huxtable’s sweaters turn green with envy. In addition to the vibrant upper, this sneaker has also received a set of bright low laces, and light grey on the tongue and ankle areas. A yellow  tongue logo surrounded by a blue and red snake add even more flavor, while an orange sockliner provides comfort. The inspiration behind this sneaker remains unknown as well as its release date, but check back shortly for an update. From C-Space.

Nike Kobe VIII (8) “Mambacurial”

Posted In: Basketball, Kobe, Nike, Sneakers

For those unaware, Kobe’s second sport is soccer. Giving tribute to his love of the sport, Nike has created the Nike Kobe VIII “Mambacurial”, which takes inspiration from Nike’s highly popular soccer cleat, the Nike Mercurial. It has a Red Plum/Pink Flash gradient pattern on the upper, overlaid with a bright Electric Green swoosh in true Mercurial fashion. You’ll also notice a large Nike logo on the other side, another Mercurial design cue. A matching black and Electric Green sole keep the theme going. The inside of the tongue reads “Mambacurial”. a release date for this colorway has not yet been announced, but don’t be surprised if this pair drops as an overseas exclusive. Luckily you can grab these on eBay. Here’s a direct link if you’d like to purchase a pair.

Rare Air – Nike Zoom Kobe III (3) “Tile Posite” Unreleased Samples

by admin on April 23, 2013 at 9:29 pm
Posted In: Basketball, Foamposite, Kobe, Nike, Sneakers

Check out this Nike Zoom Kobe III sample, most likely created while the sneaker was still in its prototype stages. Instead of the netted upper that we received on the production version, this sample features a type of mesh fabric, finished off with a graphic that somewhat resembles a molecule if you look at it just right. The “Tile Posite” name can be a bit deceiving, as this pair does not appear to consist of an Foamposite material. What do you think of this version of the Nike Zoom Kobe III?

Nike Zoom Kobe VIII (8) “Superhero” – Pics and Packaging

by admin on April 18, 2013 at 7:51 pm
Posted In: Basketball, Kobe, Nike, Sneakers

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.

Nike Zoom Kobe Venomenon 3 “Court Purple”

by admin on April 15, 2013 at 1:23 am
Posted In: Basketball, Kobe, Nike, Sneakers

For the last couple of years, Nike has made the Nike Zoom Kobe Venomenon, a “bare bones” version of the Nike Zoom Kobe series. Tonight, we get a look at the newest version of the line, Nike Zoom Kobe Venomenon III. As you can see this pair features the same Zoom Air sole as the Kobe VIIIs as well as a similar profile, but without the use of lightweight Flywire technology.  A partially mesh upper adds for increased breathing. This colorway has a mostly Court Purple color base, matched with a black sole and white accents. It’s unlikely that we will see these in the U.S., but you can get them online now at Kicks Crew.

Nike Kobe VIII (8) Elite “Lakers Home”

by admin on April 13, 2013 at 3:34 pm
Posted In: Basketball, Kobe, Nike, Sneakers

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.

Nike Kobe VIII (8) “Playoffs Away”

by admin on April 10, 2013 at 10:42 pm
Posted In: Basketball, Kobe, Nike, Sneakers

The Los Angeles Lakers are fighting to keep their playoff hopes alive (currently 1/2 game ahead of Utah for the 8th spot), but the folks at Nike have absolute faith in the Mamba. Here’s a look at the Playoff Nike Kobe VIII System. Some of you may remember that Kobe wore these in a few games earlier this season, including during a 40-pt. performance against the Denver Nuggets. This pair features a beautiful multi-toned purple upper, mated to a white and black midsole. Purple speckles have been added to the midsole to complete the design. There’s no word yet as to when these will release, but check back for an update soon.

Nike Zoom Kobe Gametime – White/Squadron Green–Varsity Crimson

by admin on March 5, 2013 at 11:55 am
Posted In: Basketball, Kobe, Nike, Sneakers

We’ve seen secondary Kobe sneakers like the Venomenon in China, but it looks like the U.S. may finally get one as well. Here’s a first look at the Nike Zoom Kobe Gametime. Created as more of a low-end, bare bones version of the Kobe VIII, this pair maintains the Zoom Air unit, but uses a heavier sole and leaves the Flywire technology behind. Perhaps we’ll see these in stores by summer, but don’t expect to see the Black Mamba wearing these in any of the games. What do you think of these?
