Trinidad James has quickly become one of the rappers to watch as far as the sneaker inclined are concerned, already showing off a pretty good range of wears via his Instagram in the short time that he’s been on the scene. This one is particularly interesting: James apparently couldn’t make up his mind between the Nike LeBron X ‘Christmas’ and the Nike Kobe 8 ‘Christmas’ for a recent basketball match so just went with both. Continue reading for the shots of of Trinidad James and his mismatched sneakers, and feel free to debate the merits of his sneaker game and his rap game in the comments below.

There’s no question that Kobe has owned the ‘Christmas’ category, with the ‘Leopard’ and ‘Grinch’ bringing forth some of the craziest sneaker colorways we’ve ever seen. The Nike Kobe 8 ain’t no slouch either, as this snow-globe inspired colorway brings together that maniacal graphic print on the Engineered Mesh upper on a vivid colorway of Bright Crimson, Neon Greens, and more. Nike Basketball retailers and Nikestore will have them ready for you tomorrow, but get them on lock-down right now on eBay.

Each of the Nike Zoom Kobe VIIIs we’ve seen thus far has displayed a degree of graphical complexity, but none of them shows off the eighth Kobe Bryant Nike Basketball signature’s potential for room-stopping design like the rainbow mixture pictured above. Just about any of the Black Mamba’s sigs would make a perfect complement for 2013′s Year of the Snake celebration, but instead it looks like these multicolored Kobe 8s are a festive rendition for Christmas Day that we can expect to see against the Knicks on ABC. The high-energy design is going to look spectacular contrasting the Lakers’ snow white xmas unis, so have a closer look below and stick with Sneaker News for the release date.
