This Reps KOBE 8 are crafted under Mansour’s creative outlet Makeshift Studio and their presentation resembles the Philadelphia-based school’s signature colors. Ace-friendly maroon accents are applied to the heel cages that are adorned with Kobe’s signature, the synthetic toe tip overlays and the midsoles, the latter of which is dressed up with all-over Kobe Sheath insignias. Up top, the mesh base layer is dyed with a tan hue and complemented by a luxe leather tongue which is dripped out with a caramel-esque tone. Furthermore, the heel panels have been coated with a light beige hue and come texturized with tonal snakeskin scales.
