The Nike Kobe 8 ‘Prelude’ exhibits a mesmerizing abstract pattern on its Engineered Mesh upper, drawing inspiration from modern art. Emphasizing the time of introspection that Kobe Bryant had to go through after facing multiple injuries during the 2012-2013 season, the molded heel counter features a reflective, mirror-like finish. Adding a burst of vibrant energy, the Swoosh is adorned with a striking Volt color, perfectly complementing the gradient tones of red and purple on the outsole. This unique design truly captures the essence of Kobe's journey and artistic expression.
