If you checked out the post about the “Mexican Blanket” Nike Kobe 8 Lifestyle release, then you known that the stage is set for what should be a nice, subtle battle of the Nike Kobe 8. We’ve already introduced you to one challenger, well here is the other.
Wearing the Black and Metallic Gold color scheme fully equipped with all the Nike Kobe 8 Elite fixings is the latest release for the Kobe 8 Elite line. Having been away from the sneaker scene since its “Superhero” offering, the Nike Kobe 8 Elite silhouette is back and in rare Elite form.
Taking it back to its original Elite roots, this particular pair skips on the energetic color block and gets straight to the point. Though void of vibrance, the technology embedded within this shoe is more than enough to carry this sneaker through.
With just 24hrs left before these hit retail, do you sneakerheads feel like this pair of Nike Kobe 8 Elites will reign supreme? Or could they possibly be outclassed by its NSW backed counterparts? Feel free to chime in below and be sure to keep reading after the jump for a few more pics of the aforementioned Elites.
