If Nike chooses to continue with the release schedule for the Kobe, we probably won’t see the Kobe VIII until early January (after Kobe introduces the shoe during the famed Christmas Day game). Til then, we’ll be treated to more Kobe VII colorways, like this amazing Lakers Home-inspired colorway with a sublime touch of white/grey speckling on the midsole. Add on the unique snakeskin-style applique on the tongue and ankle foxing and the golden interior lining and you’ve got perhaps one of the best Kobe VII colorways yet. A detailed gallery is just below, so take a look and we’ll let you know when these hit retailers on our side of the planet.
