Following the silhouette’s lineage of Christmas-themed colorways, the Nike Kobe 8 SS features a scaly upper design with translucent grey tones throughout the seamless overlays. Its textured look is reminiscent of a snakeskin shedding, while a Christmas ornament design is featured on the lace-lock. Contrasted with a green outsole and Swoosh, the silhouette also features the classic Mamba branding throughout the tongue with Kobe’s signature on the heel.
