Kobe Bryant was a two-sport star while growing up in Italy, playing soccer in addition to basketball. He remains a soccer fan to this day, and now he has a shoe that represents his two sporting loves. Introducing the Kobe 8 Mambacurial, a blend of Kobe’s signature shoe with the unique design of the Nike Mercurial Vapor IX. The first thing that will catch your eye is the stunning Fireberry colorway. Grabbed from the Mercurial, it’s overlaid across the Nike Engineered Mesh of the Kobe 8. The swoosh is painted in an electric lime, while the outsole features a translucent green rubber. It’s a marriage between two legendary shoes.
The Kobe 8 Mambacurial will be available on Nike.com June 7th.
