Nike has made it a bit of a tradition to release a “Hornets” version of each Kobe model, which is basically a reminder of what could have been had the Charlotte Hornets decided not to trade Kobe Bryant to the Los Angeles Lakers. For this year’s edition, the Nike Kobe 8 has received a bright blue upper, wrapped with a camo print. White has been used on the swoosh and outsole while aqua accents help to complete the theme. An official release date has not been announced for this pair yet, but if you’d like to get them early, they are available now at Marqueesole.
