Originally released in 2013 as part of Kobe's signature lineup, this colorway draws inspiration from Cali summers and one of the most historic landmarks of LA streetball—Venice Beach. The courts hold a special significance as that's where the Kobe 8 initially debuted. The vibrant design creates a connection to the spirited neighborhood landscape of Venice Beach. Whether you're hooping on the street, hardwood or just staying true to your love for Kobe, this low-profile look helps you take over the game in true Mamba fashion.
