Over
the
past
year
and
change
the
popularity
of
the
retro
Air
Jordan
sneakers
have
been
in
decline
thanks
to
over-saturation
and
just
horrible
colorways
of
popular
silhouettes.
But
at
the
same
time
the
demand
for
the
Nike
Kobe
sneaker
line
has
skyrocketed
and
heads
have
been
thirsting
for
more
versions
the
new
classics.
Over
the
past
few
days
Vanessa
Bryant
has
had
Kobe
fans
buzzing
on
social
media
as
she’s
been
showcasing
a
few
new
color
ways
of
the
Nike
Kobe
8’s
made
just
for
her
and
her
family
including
some
Valentines
Day
specials
and
a
leopard
print
exclusive.
Though
fans
are
torn
on
the
color
ways
of
the
scarce
pairs
of
Kobe
8’s
with
some
loving
them
and
others
shaking
their
heads,
it’s
not
like
anyone
will
have
a
chance
to
copp
these
exclusives
as
there
are
no
plans
for
any
of
these
iterations
of
the
Kobe
8’s
to
hit
commercial
shelves
at
all.
But
fret
not
Kobe
fanatics
for
there
are
a
few
Kobe
8’s
set
to
release
later
this
year
including
the
Kobe
8
“Court
Purple”
which
will
be
a
must-have
for
any
diehard
Lakers
fan
and
the
Kobe
8
“Mambacita”
which
sports
a
butterfly
pattern
all
over
the
sneaker.
There’s
even
talk
of
a
Kobe
and
Nike
SB
collaboration
that’s
supposed
to
go
down
later
this
year.

the

Bryant
Kobe
8’s

us

if
you’d

these
joints
