The Nike Kobe 8 SS continues the legacy of Christmas-themed colorways with its scaly upper design and translucent grey tones. The seamless overlays add a textured look reminiscent of a snakeskin shedding. Adding to the holiday spirit, a lace-lock is adorned with a Christmas ornament design. The green outsole and Swoosh provide a striking contrast to the overall design. Paying homage to Kobe Bryant, the iconic Mamba branding is visible on the tongue, while his signature graces the heel.
