Designed for the only player to have two retired jerseys as a result of his relentless pursuit of the game, bold details commemorate Kobe Bryant on the breathable engineered mesh upper, adding cool style and soft, wrapped comfort. Underfoot you'll find Nike's super-responsive foam technology, delivering energy return. A familiar herringbone pattern sits at the forefoot and heel, working with the pivot circle and providing carefully placed grip that engages when you move and cut. When the Kobe 8 was originally released, engineered mesh was used in the minimalist basketball shoe, which was a first in company history. The engineered mesh in the upper is soft and pliable, wrapping around your foot and conforming to its shape. Herringbone traction on the forefoot and side of the heel gives you sharp, squeaky grip. The diamond-shaped tread running along the outsole looks like a Mamba snake's head. The drop-in thick, full-length foam in the midsole helps absorb impact. Hard plastic in the heel offers a secure fit, ensuring no slippage inside the shoe. Faux shank gives the look of the adult Kobe shoe with the flexibility your feet need. The tongue is padded in the center, so you can tighten your laces as much as possible without feeling pinched or constrained. Classic laces.
