Kobe Bryant’s Black Mamba moniker lends itself well to the “Year of the Snake” sneaker series. Three makeups of the NikeKobe 8 take on the title, sporting scaly black, red suede, and red camo dressed uppers. The first pair seen is built for the hardwood, relying on snake print and black leather. The second take is designed for casual wear, set to suede and styled seamlessly.

In celebration of 2013 as the Year of the Snake on the Chinese lunar calendar, Nike introduces a Nike Basketball and Nike Sportswear collection of Chinese zodiac footwear inspired by Kobe Bryant and the Year of the Snake respectively. Ever since Nike unveiled its Year of the Horse collection in 2002, fans have eagerly anticipated new collections based on the Chinese lunar calendar concept. This year marks Nike’s 12th such release and completes a full cycle of the Chinese zodiac.

NIKE KOBE 8 RED is the off-court version of the KOBE 8 SYSTEM. The Year of the Snake model is made of red suede for the Chinese New Year. The one-piece design uses Vac-Tech and laser-etching technologies, which gives the shoe a clean-cut look that is consistent with previous Kobe collections. The etchings on the outsole combine timeless herringbone and snake scale patterns.
