How many Kobe 11 Mambacurial versions are we going to get this year? Nike Basketball has already planned on releasing an eclectic “What The Mambacurial” and another premium Flyknit rendition based on Kobe’s love of FC Barcelona. Today we get a look at another upcoming Nike Kobe 11 “Mambacurial” based on the original colorway from the Kobe 8 System in a head-turning combination of Pink Flash, Action Green, and Red Plum.
This time around, Nike Basketball utilizes the Kobe 11 EM instead of the premium woven counterpart. The Kobe 11 Mambacurial benefits from a soccer inspired look even though it ditches the forefoot Swoosh for a more traditional side panel to contrast the bold ‘Nike’ branding on the medial side. The Nike Kobe 11 Mambacurial also throws in a semi-translucent outsole to match the Action Green accents throughout. Rumors have the latest Mambacurial Kobe 11 pinned down for a September 15th release. You can check out a full on-foot preview video courtesy of Exclucity after the break. Stay tuned for more updates right here on Sneaker News.
