Released in the 2013 postseason, the Kobe 8 'Python' shoe, conceptualized by Eric Avar, boasts remarkable attributes. Its cutting-edge design includes Kevlar-reinforced dynamic Flywire technology for a secure fit, an augmented engineered mesh upper compared to the regular season edition, an articulated foam tongue to shield against impacts, and a carbon fiber heel clip for enhanced stability. Notably, the 'Python' model pays homage to the 2013 Chinese New Year and signifies the beginning of the Year of the Snake. Boasting a Squadron Green upper, this limited edition shoe is embellished with striking Challenge Red and Legion Brown accents.
