Kobe 8 'Mambacurial'

$110

This Kobe is made for them—little hoopers who aspire to greatness. Faithfully recreated with the same unforgettable look, its sleek and minimalist design helps your little one look and feel like an all-star on and off the court.

Game-changer

Kobe changed the basketball shoe game forever when he introduced the Kobe 4, a low-top featherweight masterpiece that focused on speed and an incredible court feel. The 8 takes the best of the best from the Kobe 4, 5, 6 and 7 low tops and combines them into what some consider to be his crown jewel.

Soft upper

The engineered mesh in the upper is soft and flexible, so it wraps around their foot and contours to its shape.

Cut and move

The flexible tread on the forefoot and side of the heel helps kids run, jump and play on multiple surfaces. Combining circular tread, classic herringbone tread and diamond 'Mamba-shaped' tread, we've engineered an outsole that grips both indoor and outdoor courts so you can run, spin, stop and launch all at mamba speed.

Soft and Supportive

A thick, full-length foam midsole helps cushion little feet. Plus, the tongue is padded in the centre, so kids can tighten their laces without feeling pinched or constrained.
