Today marks the arrival of the Nike Kobe 8, with the sneaker just dropping in both the regular retail form and the NIKE iD customizable version. If you need a better idea of what to anticipate for the latter then we’ve got you covered, with a couple completed samples popping up here to show off what sort of stuff you can come up with. One of the more exciting options from the jump is the scaly treatment-that would be the same pattern that shows up on the Nike Kobe 8 ‘Christmas’ that’s right around the bend. Check out all the samples after the jump and tell us in the comments if you’ve whipped up a Nike Kobe 8 iD pair yet.
