Kobe Bryant Kobe 8
Basketball shoes - Boy/girl
These Kobe are ideal for the most promising stars and are ready to play. Faithfully recreating the same unforgettable look, the Kobe 8 sticks with the essentials to near-perfection, delivering a shoe that`s as fast as it looks.

Game-changing design
Kobe revolutionized the world of basketball shoes forever when he introduced the Kobe 4, a super-lightweight, low-profile masterpiece focused on speed and incredible court feel. The Kobe 8 takes the best of the low-profile Kobe 4, 5, 6 and 7 and combines it into what some consider its crown jewel.
Soft upper
When the Kobe 8 originally launched in December 2012, we used Engineered Mesh on the minimalist upper for the first time in the brand`s history. The soft, flexible Engineered Mesh upper wraps around your foot and conforms to its shape.
Cuts and movements
Traction with a herringbone traction pattern on the forefoot and lateral heel provides intense, precise grip that can be heard when making cuts and quick movements. It has been positioned where the foot is normally planted to offer a secure grip. The diamond-shaped pattern running across the outsole closely resembles the head of a Mamba snake.
Absorbs impacts
Thick, full-length foam built into the midsole helps absorb impact so you can enjoy every step of the game.
Hard plastic in the heel to provide a secure fit to prevent your foot from slipping inside the shoe.
Fake shank to offer the look of Kobe adult sneakers with the flexibility that feet need.
Padded tongue in the center to tighten the laces as much as possible without pinching or restricting the foot.
