It’s 2013, which means it?s time to celebrate the Year of the Snake,<\/strong> and it is no surprise that Nike Basketball is taking part in the celebration. We all know Kobe?s nickname is the Black Mamba, and he?s receiving not one festive sneaker, but three. The first features a Port Wine multi-tonal engineered mesh upper while the other two feature some different attributes. The Kobe 8 EXT<\/strong> model is made to handle the tough conditions of outdoor courts, and one of the EXTs in this collection sports an all-red upper with an outdoor-ready sole, while the other features a black snakeskin-like upper with the same kind of outsole. Will you cop or drop any of these ?Year of the Snake? themed Kobe 8s?<\/p>\n
