Just like the “Shark” Kobe VII, Nike has strayed away from the Black Mamba theme, this time with a land-based animal. Taking inspiration from the Cheetah, the world’s fastest land animal, the cheetah, the pair has received a mostly purple upper, covered with black spots. An electric green has been used on the swoosh, removable insole, outsole, and Flywire. Red laces complete the look. Not exactly a subtle colorway, but it’s definitely unique. These will be worn by Kobe on Christmas, and are expected to release online at the same time.
