The Nike Kobe 8 is about to take a stroll, heading off the Staples Center courts and onto the sand and sidewalks at the relatively nearby Venice Beach. On its way it will pick up a multitude of crazy colors, all of which are splashed across the upper of the new Nike Kobe 8 “Venice Beach”. The pair is one that’s been on slow leak for a minute, the first images having shown up a couple of months ago. Let us know if you’re happy that they’re finally hitting stores and grab a Nike Kobe 8 “Venice Beach” a little bit ahead of schedule on eBay.

The Nike Kobe 8 “Blitz Blue” is one of those pairs from Kobe’s latest that doesn’t take too much advantage of the graphic route across the Engineered Mesh up top. That’s not necessarily a bad thing-we don’t think anyone wants to see shoe after shoe sporting crazy prints across it. Instead, there’s a simple batch of blue that lightens up around the blazing orange Swoosh. The shoe is still a bit of a mystery, as no US shops are reporting stock yet, but they will be showing up tomorrow at Livestock in Canada. Continue reading for another glance at the Nike Kobe 8 “Blue Blitz” and stick with Sneaker News to find out more.

Even Kobe Bryant stops playing basketball every once in a while. As of this summer he’ll finally have his own specific sneaker to wear for such instances: the Nike Kobe 8 NSW Lifestyle. The colorway shown is the only one we’ve had a look at so far, a super colorful sort of knitted look that’s been dubbed the “Mexican Blanket” Nike Kobe 8 NSW. Still no word on a US release date, but the sneakers are starting to show up out in Asia so that’s a good sign. Get with us after the jump for full photos and tell us what you think of the Nike Kobe 8 NSW remix.

The Nike Kobe 8 will soon be transferring over to the lifestyle category with this, an NSW takedown of the shoe. The design strips down the tech in favor of a flat footed silhouette. But whatever value the shoe loses via the bygone basketball capabilities it gains back with that crazy colorful upper. Stay with us through the jump to see on-feet shots of the upcoming “Mexican Blanket” Nike Kobe 8 NSW Lifestyle and tell us in the comments if it’s a sneaker you’re hoping to see rolled out soon.

The Nike Kobe 8 continues to prove itself a late bloomer, with a gang of killer colorways still in the works despite Kobe having long since stopped playing for the season. The most straightforward basketball style amongst them is this, the Engineered Mesh utilizing Nike Kobe 8 “Venice Beach”. That unofficial nickname is one presumably referencing the colorful graffiti of that locale, a set that’s done justice by the streaky upper of this sneaker. Get extra angles of the Nike Kobe 8 “Venice Beach” below and then grab them from Social Status this coming weekend.

It looks like LeBron isn’t the only one who will see his sneakers transform into a lifestyle look this year. The Nike Kobe 8 looks to be transitioning into this Nike Kobe 8 NSW model as well. The upper echoes that Kobe vibe with both the Swoosh placement and the remnants of the heel clip on the back, both of which are placed on a flat-footed sole to help it transition to an entirely different category. See more on the Nike Kobe 8 NSW “Mexican Blanket” colorway after the jump and keep in mind that these look like an Asian release for June at the moment.

The Nike Kobe 8 Mambacurial will release on June 7th here in North American, having already arrived at select Asian spots. The sneaker is one with heavy soccer ties, ties that link back to Kobe’s upbringing in Italy that had him equally exposed to basketball and “football” as our European friends call it. The Engineered Mesh upper pioneered by the Nike Kobe 8 proper is reworked here, picking up an alternate bootie look from the Nike Mercurial Vapor IX. Get the full images on the gorgeous Nike Kobe 8 Mambacurial, release date June 7th, right after the jump and let us know in the comments if you think this is the best style to date for Kobe’s eighth signature shoe.
