The Nike Kobe 8 System 'What The' is a high-performance basketball sneaker celebrating Kobe Bryant’s legacy with bold, collage-inspired design. Featuring a multicolor upper with geometric tribal patterns in black, orange, and gray, it combines Flywire technology for lockdown support and Lunarlon cushioning for responsive court feel. The iconic Nike Swoosh appears in metallic silver, while the heel displays Kobe’s signature and the 'KB' logo. A unique basketball-shaped lace lock with 'MVP' branding adds thematic flair. The outsole blends orange, black, and white rubber with herringbone traction for multidirectional grip. Originally released in 2013 as part of Nike’s 'What The' series—known for mixing colorways from past models—this edition honors Kobe’s versatility across multiple All-Star appearances. Ideal for on-court play or streetwear styling, its lightweight build (approx. 11 oz) ensures agility, while the breathable mesh upper enhances ventilation. Perfect for basketball enthusiasts, collectors, and street fashion lovers seeking statement footwear with athletic credibility. Worn by pros and celebrities alike, it bridges performance heritage and contemporary sneaker culture.
