Nike Kobe VIII (8) System ‘Year of the Snake’

Nike Kobe VIII (8) System 'Year of the Snake'

The KOBE 8 SYSTEM incorporates innovative Nike Engineered Mesh for the first time in a basketball shoe to offer a dynamic and ultra-lightweight fit. Additionally, the synthetic overlays on the toe and lateral quarter panel provide support for even the toughest games. The full-length Lunarlon midsole delivers lightweight, low profile cushioning and stability. A snake graphic shoe tongue provides a close fit and comfort. In connection with the victories of the Purple and Gold Dynasty led by Kobe, the KOBE 8 SYSTEM Year of the Snake special edition is inspired by the Chinese kung-fu representing Kobeโ€™s bold, aggressive style on the court. The four icons on the outsole stand for Kobeโ€™s speed, precision, vision and versatility. The color red symbolizes danger and the destructive power of Kobeโ€™s speed. The snakeskin pattern on the shoe is a perfect interpretation of Kobeโ€™s on-court alter ego, the Black Mamba.
