The number of Kobe 8 System colorways revealed to date has yet to suggest the huge range of styles we’ve seen in recent years. But it is about to be the Year of the Snake, after all, so expect the Black Mamba to make himself known with plenty of dope releases, even ones that don’t explicitly connect with the longtime Nike Basketball star. This new Nike Air Force 1 High isn’t like the AF1 Foamposite featuring a Shozoku tongue logo, but between the Court Purple upper and scaly Swoosh, it’s only natural to think of Kobe Bryant. If similar praise is in order after you’ve seen more of the latest Air Force 1 High below, then stick with Sneaker News to see when they arrive at select Nike Sportswear retailers.
