Nike Hyperdunk Kobe Bryant “Black Mamba”
Posted by vulkan | Jul 2, 2008| As you know the Hyperdunk made its NBA debut on the feet of Kobe Bryant. Several special colorways have been produced for the MVP as well but for the Olympic Games he will have a special “Black Mamba” edition of the Nike Hypderdunk. Our Friend abt has sent us some pictures of the Nike Hyperdunk Kobe Bryant Mamba edition which has lasering around the toe displaying a mamba snake.
Silver accents along the ankle area and Kobe logo on the tongue make this color way very eye catching. No word if this is a official release but if any information breaks check back to Nice Kicks for an update. |

These are out now in Beijing and are hot! The lasering isn’t that noticable on the actual shoes and looks good. These are what Kobe’s been wearing so far in the warm up games.
Jul 22, 2008 at 2:05 am
The Philippines had these Mambas last July 19th (18th US time) for like $148. They sold out in two days….

Love these!!!!

dose r nice but i will have to pass
Jul 4, 2008 at 7:42 pm
46. This is a thread about kicks. Not about Kobe being better than MJ or even close to MJ. His last two finals appearances have ended that notion. You sound like you’ve confused yourself. Now on to the shoes…
Jul 4, 2008 at 4:16 pm
45 what are taking about i’m not saying kobe is greater than MJ i think he’s the greatest player in the game right now but before you go jumping in know what the conversation is about when team double or triple one player like KOBE that means he is the guy that gonna be the scorer who they wanna stop when you got 4 or 3 or 2 or even 1 proven scorer like the Boston has you not gonna consistently double or triple one guy on the celtics because they know the have 2 other wide open Proven scorer on the court that can beat them all during the season the other lakers were stepping up but during the FINALS when KOBE got triple or double none of the other players Odom, Gasol,Fisher,Farmer,Radmanovic or whoever made enough shot to make them not double or triple kob.e
Jul 4, 2008 at 1:56 pm
42. What’s your excuse for Kobe’s performance in the 2004 Finals against Detroit when he had Shaq? He had one of the most dominant players ever on his squad. Shaq did his part: 27 points a game. What did Kobe do?
Jul 4, 2008 at 11:23 am
that hyperdunk commercial is funny
Jul 4, 2008 at 9:33 am
I really dig the direction that nike and kobe are going with the hyperdunk. Thanks for giving us something besides Jays and SBs to collect.
Jul 4, 2008 at 12:49 am
Team cans double and triple Kobe because they not afraid the other 4 players on the floor can beat them and most of the time they are right that why kobe gets tripled and double because he’s the primary scorer you can double anyone of the big 3 on the celtics and that leaves any two allstar scorer open and they made they pay when you leave them open.
Jul 4, 2008 at 12:41 am
30. Kobe is chasing single game stats… you know why? cos he knows he can’t even come close to MJ when you look at the big picture. 2 scoring titles, shooting 45 & 46% vs 10 scoring titles, with over 50% shooting for 6 of them??? it’s not even close.
anyway, i dig the hyperdunks, just not this colorway. i’m really curious to see how comfortable they are; there was that one game where Kobe started wearing them but changed out of them halfway through.
Jul 3, 2008 at 11:11 pm
nice
Jul 3, 2008 at 11:07 pm
comment 26 …a black mamba is a snake ….wow kicks go hard hope they release
Jul 3, 2008 at 11:04 pm
the laser is wack
Jul 3, 2008 at 9:56 pm
just siiiccckkkkkk!!!!!!
Jul 3, 2008 at 6:25 pm
# 29 HARRY HARRY HARRY! I know Kobe is ya man but cmon kid? 6″9 denfender tell me when did the dallas mavs ever have a defense to stop #23 even when played with the Washington Wizard at 40 something years old he still avg 20 something a game and was the oldest guy on the team. During MJ era there were more HALL OF FAME PLAYERS that he played against than there are in the NBA now Bird, Magic, Worthy, Nique, Isaiah, Hakeem, Jabbar, Ewing, Barkley, Payton, Drexler, Malone, Stockton, Dumars, the list goes on and you saying Jordan would have TROUBLE Scoring on 6″9 defender and during Jordan era they wasn’t calling all these Ghost calls that they do now and the game was way more physical then Please you betta do some research before you go making comments.
Jul 3, 2008 at 5:38 pm
Nike doing Kobe dead wrong. SMFH
Jul 3, 2008 at 4:29 pm
you guys are talking about 2 different eras where the box in 1 was not allowed in mj’s day and now it’s allowed in kobe’s era. it was more physical in mj’s day but mj wasn’t gaurded by 3-4 people every possession. kobe is the “MOST” double & triple teamed player the NBA has ever had.
nuff said.
kix are fresh.
Jul 3, 2008 at 4:13 pm
finally nike comes w/ an ALL new idea that is good to look at…its gonna be IMPOSSIBLE to get these tho…but good job nike…much betta than all this fusion CRAP that they got goin on!! Puttin the jordan brand to shame…
Jul 3, 2008 at 2:18 pm
EVERYONE GET OFFA KOBE’S PISTACHIOS AND TALK ABOUT THE KICKS!!!!
CHUUUUUUCH!!!!
Jul 3, 2008 at 2:12 pm
Harry, put down the crack pipe. Look at the stats. Kobe is not the greatest scorer ever. Has Kobe ever had a season where he’s shot over 50% from the field. He couldn’t do that with Shaq drawing double and triple-teams. Who is the all-time leader in regular season, playoff, and Finals scoring average? Nuff said. I’m not a hater, just someone who likes to point out FACTS. Kicks are cool.
Jul 3, 2008 at 1:36 pm
Even though MJ is the better overall player to this point, Kobe Bryant is the greatest and most talented scorer this game has ever seen. And for those of you who need stats for proof, let me tell you MJ couldn’t OUTSCORE an entire Dallas Mavs team 62-61 by himself in 3 quarters. MJ couldn’t score 30 in a quarter against a top notch 6″9 defender.
Jul 3, 2008 at 1:36 pm
ehh these are just ok
Jul 3, 2008 at 1:30 pm
COMMENT 12.. do u have a TV or something?
Jul 3, 2008 at 12:51 pm
these are alright the mcflys are the best in my opinion
Jul 3, 2008 at 12:10 pm
FUNNY THAT THESE KICKS HAVE A SNAKE DESIGN - WHICH IN SHAQS EYES IS EXACTLY WHAT KOBE IS!! HAHA! A SNAKE!!! KOBE HOW DOES SHAQ’s ASS TASTE?
Jul 3, 2008 at 10:38 am
Nice detail work I would love to get my hands on a pair of these B-iii’s
Jul 3, 2008 at 10:32 am
ooooh those a fresh! Very artistic.
Jul 3, 2008 at 10:26 am
i’m cool with them, but kobe be pushing his own shoe???
Jul 3, 2008 at 9:48 am
I smell classic!!!!
RIP Kobe’s Championship Chances, a minute of silence… Thank You
Jul 3, 2008 at 8:15 am
these are str8 crack..
Jul 3, 2008 at 8:07 am
yeah, these hyperdunks look like the best shoes out right now for hoopin. havent seen them in person yet, but they pretty look like they’ll perform like souped up huarache 2k4. and to comment 14, when did Kobe wear the hyperdunks in a game? since they came out, i’ve only seen them in commercials. he’s been wearing his signature joints in every game i’ve seen…
Jul 3, 2008 at 8:07 am
These shoes have a japanese/asian feel because the hyperdunk were developed in China….shoes is nice.
Jul 3, 2008 at 7:59 am
Yeah, these things look straight mean.
Jul 3, 2008 at 3:35 am
these should be praised! the laser etching is SICK. the design overall is just right. and nice colorway too. but it looks like it has a japanese theme even though it shouldn’t have. i’d cop these in a heartbeat. if i see it.
Jul 3, 2008 at 12:15 am
kobe is not M.J.,he will never be!he is the best player in da leage right now without a doubt,but its ateam game and odom & gasol are trash who kobe made look good while beating teams kobe could beat and 1 team that was tired,old,and beat up!Oh,and by the i cant wait to see what these hyperdunks is really about!
Jul 3, 2008 at 12:14 am
E-man.. you just dont watch enough basketball games.. he did wear them… those are the best hyperdunks i’ve seen so far… the mcfly’s are hard too… please release these
Jul 3, 2008 at 12:07 am
When are the regular hyperdunks gonna release to the public?
Jul 3, 2008 at 12:07 am
KOBE DOESN’T EVEN WEAR HYPERDUNKS!!! why make this version? he wore them in the commercials of course, but i haven’t seen him wear them in 1 game. which makes me think theres something wrong with them.
Jul 2, 2008 at 11:01 pm
The shoes suck, and at least we know the Kobe/Jordan comparisons will stop now… dude shoots 40.5% IN THE FINALS! What a joke. Kobe sucks and blows at the same time.
For all you Kobe nuthuggers:

Wake up, your boy’s wack.
Jul 2, 2008 at 10:55 pm
COMMENT 6…. ….PREPARE TO GET TOASTED!!!!!!! PAUL PIERCE WAS HANDS DOWN FOR THE MVP. (I hope y’all go easy on ‘em)
As for the shoes, they actually look nice. I imagine these would be a HIGHLY sought after pair of shoes now(if they were limited released) and even more so years later. The lasering on the the toe-box was a nice touch.
I’m not a Kobe stan but the guy has my respect - He is the best player in the NBA right now, so let’s STOP with the MJ comparisons because its not going to happen.
Jul 2, 2008 at 10:52 pm
all hyperdunks r corny! booo!
Jul 2, 2008 at 10:41 pm
COMMENT 6 Did Better? Just about everyone knows Kobe is the best in the NBA right now but the object in the FINALS is to WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP! and it’s a team game and the better TEAM won. As for the sneak they nice something that i haven’t seen this design done on a sneak like this.
Jul 2, 2008 at 10:34 pm
omg…these are amazingg
Jul 2, 2008 at 10:26 pm
dese r insane
Jul 2, 2008 at 10:15 pm
right…ugh, either way, kobe still did better than any player on the boston squad..
either way, dope colorway..the hyper dunks are starting to grow on me.
they need to release…until then im kicking rocks
Jul 2, 2008 at 10:13 pm
^ sheesh people still on that?!? we get it, boston won
Jul 2, 2008 at 10:00 pm

Jul 2, 2008 at 9:54 pm
Holy crap those are HARD
Jul 2, 2008 at 9:54 pm
This pair will be sought after down the road. EXOTIC but clean.
Jul 2, 2008 at 9:53 pm
