The explosive Mambacurial MC edition has captured our attention this week, but don’t forget about the faded purple Nike Kobe 8 colorway we’ve been expecting for some time. The ‘Purple Gradient’ Kobe 8 Playoffs might engender a longing for what might have been, but the implementation of the regal to berry heel-toe taper might also serve as a reminder that the Black Mamba and his shoes have been superb for so long. So there’s still more excitement in the Kobe 8 universe while Bryant himself is probably already counting the days until he resumes the quest for ring six, and this pair will be yours for the taking next Saturday, May 11th
