Engineered Mesh allows the Nike Kobe 8 System to render just about any kind of graphics you could imagine. Several have been snake-themed as is the case with every Black Mamba signature from Nike Basketball, but this latest revelation opts for a more universal appeal. Done in a Knicks/Thunder-leaning colorway, the Kobe 8 employs a new streak at approximately Swoosh height as part of a larger deployment of wavy gradient fades. Check them out in more shots below and let us know where these rank against all the dope Kobe 8s that’ve hit the scene recently.

There’s plenty of Kobe heat to look forward to even though the Black Mamba has been out of action (and will be for a considerable time). The Mambacurial joints have been keep the Kobe name buzzing, but many have been looking towards this Lakers-specific colorway that has been making its rounds as the “Purple Gradient” release.With the color fade going from light to dark at the toe to the heel and the clean white outsole joining the speckled midsole, the Nike Kobe 8 “Purple Gradient” might be one of the best team-based colorways of the year. These are officially releasing this Saturday, but avoid the release date hassle by getting a pair now from kickslusive on eBay.

Kobe Bryant’s season ended unceremoniously and the Lakers soon followed, but the first round of the NBA Playoffs brought with it some of the most exciting Kobe Sneaker News all season. Fresh off the ‘Mambacurial’ unveil and on the eve of the ‘Purple Gradient’ drop, we see a Nike Kobe 8 some have called ‘Superman’ because like the ‘Pizza’ All-Star edition, these resemble delicious foodstuffs (in this case, a Midwest US favorite ice cream blend). This first sighting of this possible outdoor edition since the initial preview in February is hopefully a good sign, so stick with Sneaker News as we approach the Saturday, May 25th release date, and check out some new images in the meantime.

The Nike Kobe 8 is about to step off the basketball court and onto the soccer field. Metaphorically that is, as the Nike Kobe 8 Mambacurial will transition the Black Mamba’s latest sneaker over to a football-boot inspired design. If you look closely on the new design, you can actually see the outline of where the Swoosh was originally placed acrosss the engineered mesh facade of the upper. Stay with us through the jump to see the Nike Kobe 8 Mambacurial and let us know if this is a pair you’re looking forward to.

The Nike Kobe 8 continues to impress us with some great color-combos – even on the ones that appear to be exclusive for kids sizes. We first showed you this nice colorway last week, but here’s an updated look at the “Baltic Blue” colorway; it features the aforementioned cool Baltic Blue tone with hints of Neo Turquoise and Bright Citrus for a rather nice combination – a rather “tropical” look that should please the younger Kobe fans. We’ve got more angles for viewing below, so take a look and purchase now from ny_5thavenue on eBay.

We recently broke down the inspiration behind the Nike Kobe 8 Mambacurial, noting the ties to the Nike Mercurial Vapor IX that released earlier this year. Basketball fans will have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the international sport with this release – one of Nike’s most impressive concoctions of the year and a certain candidate to make our Top 30 of the year. A release date hasn’t been confirmed and neither has distribution info (a Euro/Asia exclusive?), so if you want to avoid the wait and mystery, get them now from id4shoes on eBay.
