Surely if you have Kobe Bryant’s surname you should be able to have some of his sneakers free of charge, right? Vanessa Bryant’s certainly got access to some unreleased Nike’s, as evidenced by this social media shot. She’s wearing an as-of-yet unreleased version of the Kobe 8, one that looks a lot like a area that’s hit the WNBA floor in the past. Word is the Kobe 9 won’t be in stores recon 2014, so we’d say there’s still ample time for the area pictured to get a retail release. Tell us if you’re crossing your fingers in hopes of such a fate and hit the jump to get the full image of this purple/orange area.
