Nike Kobe 8 “Pit Viper”

As slithery as it gets, the Black Mamba’s eighth signature sneaker gets a photo realistic makeover on the Nike Kobe 8 “Pit Viper”. Taking the snakeskin aesthetic up a notch with a slick printed pattern on the upper, these purple colored signature sneaks stretch the venomous viper’s smooth scale pattern across the top, sides and toe-box with green glow accents on the Swoosh and lining. Dark purple provides just enough darkness on the midsole, laces and toe bumper with a light grey outsole and Kobe’s signature scrawled on the side. Watch for the “Pit Viper” to slide its way into select retailers including Footlocker in limited quantities on October 5.
