Zoom Kobe VIII(8) White Black Red Men's
The design prowess behind the Kobe 8 is attributed to a team led by sneaker creative director Eric Avari, working in tandem with insights from the legendary Kobe Bryant himself. A meticulous analysis of Kobe's on-court movements, including dribbling, breakthroughs, and jump shots, culminated in the integration of the cutting-edge Engineered Mesh technology into the shoe's upper. This innovation not only snugly envelops Kobe's feet but also offers comprehensive protection, resulting in a basketball shoe with an incredibly low upper and a feather-light weight of only 9.6 ounces. Drawing inspiration from Kobe's on-court persona, often likened to the lethal Black Mamba, the Kobe 8 maintains the aggressive snake pattern on the shoe. The development process involved an in-depth examination of Kobe Bryant's court dominance, leading to the seamless integration of top-tier technology. The outcome is a basketball shoe with an unprecedented low upper and an astonishing weight of only 9.6 ounces (standard men's size 9, with slight variations in different sizes).
The Kobe 8 system is a testament to the close collaboration between the design team under the leadership of sports footwear creative director Eric Avar and Kobe Bryant himself. Kobe's initial vision for the sneakers was a low-cut pair tailored for swift gameplay, seamlessly blending with the foot without any sense of encumbrance. Positioned as a star series, akin to the Jordan and James series, Kobe basketball shoes aim to capture the star's attention while strategically boosting brand value through appeal and public influence.
The Zoom Kobe 8 stands out as the epitome of technological advancement within the Zoom Kobe lineup, perfectly combining speed, stability, and versatility. Weighing in at a mere 9.6 ounces, it stands as the lightest cheap Kobe basketball shoe to date. Spearheading the Zoom Kobe 8 project is performance sneaker creative director Eric Aval, who collaborated closely with Bryant and his team. The shoe features 90% mesh material coverage, ensuring a snug fit, extreme lightness, and 360-degree breathability, facilitating the flexibility required for natural foot movement. The full-length Lunarlon midsole offers the perfect balance of lightness, cushioning, low profile, and stability. The XDR rubber outsole, adorned with classic herringbone patterns and snake scale totems, achieves lightweight wear resistance and exceptional grip while minimizing wear and tear. The 3-D structured upper provides an extraordinary fit, ensuring effective foot locking during intense competition. The Zoom Kobe 8 embodies the pinnacle of performance innovation.
