Exciting news for Kobe Bryant and Nike sneaker enthusiasts! The Nike Kobe 8 is making a comeback with the highly anticipated ‘Venice Beach’ colorway. Originally launched in 2013, the Kobe 8 gained fame for its stylish design and vibrant color scheme. For this reissue, Nike is sticking closely to the original design specifications.

The ‘Venice Beach’ colorway pays tribute to the iconic coastal town near the Staples Center. The shoe features a blue midsole and TPU plate, both adorned with Bryant’s signature. The upper part of the sneaker showcases graffiti-inspired designs in vibrant tie-dye colors that evoke the essence of the Venice Beach boardwalk. A California orange inner lining adds a summery flair to the overall look.

Given the strong demand for past Kobe releases, these sneakers are expected to sell out quickly. Previously, Kobe sneakers have fetched over $500 on the resale market, making this retail release even more thrilling for fans.

The Nike Kobe 8 ‘Venice Beach’ will be available starting April 13, 2024, with a retail price of $180. Complete men’s sizes are expected to be offered through the Nike SNKRS app, so fans should be ready and set their alarms to snag a pair.
