Kobe Bryant Kobe VIII Big Kids' Basketball Shoes This Kobe VIII is made for them—little hoopers who aspire to greatness. Faithfully recreated with the same unforgettable look, it's sleek and minimalist design helps your little one look and feel like an all-star on and off the court.
Herringbone traction on the forefoot and side of the heel gives you that sharp, squeaky grip you can hear when making hard moves and cuts. It’s located where your foot is normally planted, giving you a secure grip. The diamond-shaped tread running along the outsole looks a lot like a Mamba snake's head. The drop-in thick, full-length foam in the midsole helps absorb impact so you can enjoy every step of the game. Hard plastic in the heel offers a secure fit, ensuring no slippage inside the shoe. Faux-shank gives the look of the adult Kobe shoe with the flexibility your feet need. Tongue is padded in the center, so you tighten your laces as much as possible without feeling pinched or constrained.
