While we still await the official unveiling of the Black Mamba’s latest signature Nike Basketball sneaker, the brand has created a premium, casual version of the Nike Zoom Kobe VIII for a release next year.
Aptly dubbed the Nike Zoom Kobe VIII Lifestyle and seen here in a University Red/University Red-Court Purple colorway, the kicks replace the Engineered Mesh and synthetic upper of the on-court shoe with a nubuck upper and perforated detailing.
A sample version of the shoe is now up for grabs via dballaholic on eBay.
