THE "BLACK MAMBA" STRIKES IN THE KOBE 8'S!!

Understand, this is Kobe's year! The "Year of The Snake", in Chinese culture signifies a parallel for the Black Mamba. Nike is moving ahead with full steam for the Kobe 8's, which recently saw the release of the "Year of the Snake" Pack. The release featured 3 exclusive Kobe 8's, two are pictured above. The Black Snake 8's were given the Black Mamba-like reptilian skin, a new age twist to what we saw on the Kobe VI's. The sueded Swoosh and Kobe symbol on the rear panel, along with a blue icy sole definitely make these kicks a pair for the stash. 
The Red Snake EXT features an array of Chinese symbols that represent what this year stands for in Chinese tradition. These Kobe *'s dropped this past Saturday, but you can still cop the Red Snakes on Nike.com   Cali "O" #TeamKickGame #TheMambasBack
