Kobe 8 Pit Viper, Best Kobes Yet?

The Kobe 8 Pit Viper have finally made the release calender. Some of you may know Kobe for his nickname "Black Mamba" which this shoe is based off of. Since a snake is a reptile, and a snake has scales, this shoes base is a scale like pattern. The Pit Vipers are the first Kobes that evolved the snake like pattern and bring it to photo realism. The colors in the scale pattern are mixed shades of purple with some black thrown in there. The tongue is a plain original purple with a white Kobe emblem on the top of the tongue. The pattern makes this shoe come to life and makes it stand out from other regular dull shoes. Also another affect making this shoe even better are the Nike swoosh on the side of the shoe and the Kobe emblem on the back of the shoe.The green glow color on these emblems represents part of the Black Mamba snake. It goes great with the scale texture and the mixed purple blend really well. They are the traditional low cut system for better agility and ability to move around faster. Though they are the low cut, they are stiffer on the ankle area for better support despite being low. Some people might say these are the best Kobes to hit the calender yet. They are the first Kobes that match the nick name of Kobe Bryant, "Black Mamba". They are different from the other Kobes that  dropped this year but not a dramatic change. Other colorways that came out that are similar to the Pit Vipers are the Milk snakes, blue coral and the Graffiti. Some may think that these are the best to drop, some may not, what do you think? They will be in stores near you on October 5th, retail price starting at $150.
