KOBE'S LIGHTEST AND LOWEST SHOE TO DATE

Weighing in at less than 10 ounces, the Kobe 8 System SS Christmas Men's Basketball Shoe is Kobe's lightest, lowest shoe to date with springy cushioning and exceptional traction for a quick first step. Taking his iconic nickname, Mamba, to a whole new level, this shoe features a snakeskin-like upper for a striking feel and menacing style. 

LIGHTWEIGHT CUSHIONING

A full-length Lunarlon midsole insert sits lower than that of its predecessor, adding stability while cushioning every step.

LOW TO THE GROUND

Layers of outsole rubber have been stripped away for a lightweight, minimal and low-to-the-ground feel without sacrificing the aggressive traction required for basketball's quick bursts and sudden changes of direction.

SIGNATURE DETAILS

The graphic on the heel is part of Kobe's signature sheath logo, designed to line up with the heel graphic on the Kobe Elite sock and form the full sheath logo. A bold snakeskin-like upper features raised spikes for a striking touch and menacing look.
