Nike Kobe 11 Green Snake Gs Release 01

It’s crazy to think that most kids today won’t remember Kobe Bryant’s on-court genius, but Nike Basketball is appealing to the next generation with this upcoming Kobe 11 release. The kids-exclusive Kobe 11 Green Snake returns to the Black Mamba’s roots with an aggressive Lucid Green snake-themed graphic upper.

This Nike Kobe 11 release showcases that the silhouette doesn’t need Flyknit to stand out. The jagged pattern mixes in multiple shades of green with black and metallic silver for a head-turning look. We’re jealous that this pair will only be available in a grade school size run. The leather heel construction even features a synthetic snakeskin textile complete with a menacing snake logo in silver.

The Kobe 11 Green Snake will arrive at retailers on August 8th for $135 USD.
