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.

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.

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.

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 Zoom Kobe VIII Player Exclusives

by admin on December 28, 2012 at 3:12 pm
Posted In: Basketball, Kobe, Nike, Sneakers

When you have your own signature sneaker and a virtually infinite color palette to work with, it’s only natural to have a few custom colorways designed. Kobe is no exception, having recently worn two unseen PEs in the Lakers’ previous games. The bottom pair was worn by Kobe during his 40-point performance against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday. It remains unknown if these two pairs will be produced, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed for the purple ones. From jsoy23.
