This kid-tuned edition is designed for the only player to have two retired jerseys, commemorating Kobe Bryant on the breathable engineered mesh upper for cool style and soft comfort. Underfoot, Nike's superresponsive foam technology delivers energy return for court domination. A herringbone pattern on the forefoot and heel provides grip for quick moves and cuts. The Kobe 8 takes inspiration from the low-top masterpieces of the Kobe 4, 5, 6, and 7. Originally released in December 2012, it was the first basketball shoe to use engineered mesh in the upper, making it soft, pliable, and conforming to the foot's shape. The diamond-shaped tread on the outsole resembles a Mamba snake's head and offers sharp, squeaky grip. A drop-in thick, full-length foam in the midsole absorbs impact, while hard plastic in the heel ensures a secure fit. A faux shank provides the look of the adult Kobe shoe with necessary flexibility. The padded tongue prevents pinching when laces are tightened.
