Inspired by Kobe Bryant and the Year of the Snake, Nike Basketball and Nike Sportswear introduces a capsule of footwear and apparel to pay homage to the 2013 zodiac. With the first Zodiac-based capsule of releases beginning in 2002, the release of the ‘Year of the Snake’ completes the twelve-pronged cycle as we enter another year of good fortune laid out by the traditional mindset of the honored beasts. Featured in the Nike 2013 ‘Year of the Snake’ Collection are three Nike Kobe 8 colorways, featuring scaly uppers, VT-treated EXT models, and the basic Engineered Mesh shells, and three Nike Air Force 1 releases.

The Black and Red Kobe 8s are just beautiful! I MUST COP! Im sold on Kobe 8's now!
The black kobes and first two forces are crack & the jacket is sick but i hope they come out with one sans those corney patches. Reminds me of the RockSmith Kobra Kai Varsity.
The forces are nice, but honestly Kobe is killing em this time around! Clearly no debate & that jacket is AWESOME!
Damn those Black YOTS are fuckin SICK and those are AF-1s are not too bad either
amazing no 1 liked the red suede LS kobes when they were first shown... amazing they are so great now lol smh kobe 8 is a great sneaker tho' great job nike.
Those red Kobe 8 system are raw. One of the only Kobes I've ever liked. Good job Nike
Yo, page 2 totally changed my mind on the kobe 8s. wow.
Year of The Black Mamba.
i hope the red camo is the all star but we shall see! would make sense as the drop date is feb and the west usually rocks a red jersey. we shall see. thanks!
the kobe 8s are NICE, the red suede is extra nice. the high and low air force 1s are extra nice.
