Nike Kobe VIII (8) “Mambacurial”

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.
