Mamba is back (in video game form) in the Nike Kobe 8.



This past Thursday, gamers (well, those that don’t understand the concept of Amazon.com and release day shipping) dug deep and camped out to pick the brand new Playstation 4, signaling the start of the new console generation.

The implementation of a color wheel instead of having pre-selected colors means you’ve never had a better chance to get that right shade of Concord Purple and included patterns also allows you to get wacky with your kicks.
