Nike Kobe 8 Year of the Snake EXT Snakeskin

Black snakeskin. A tinted translucent outsole. This NSW (Nike Sportswear) release of the highly popular Kobe 8 System is indeed a Black Mamba colorway. That snakeskin upper looks absolutely amazing with the laser-etched branding found throughout the shoe. The biggest difference you will see with the NSW releases is the lack of the TPU heel cup. It's supposed to be there and hold the heel in place while playing ball. Obviously this wasn't designed for basketball but that doesn't mean  you can't do so. Lunarlon is still the main cushioning setup with everything staying the same except for the Engineered Mesh upper. Waxed laces finished off the design to give that classy/formal feel. Will you line up for this particular release?



The rest after the jump!
