Designed the visual style for graphics and print + pattern on the Nike Kobe 8 System. Briefed to create a bold and distinct graphic expression for each shoe in the collection, a consistent geometric scale pattern is used as the base to bring unique snake prints to life. The aesthetic is meant to emphasize a fun, modern interpretation of the classic reptilian motif. 

The launch color, in black and vivid sulfur, features a striped snake look that is sleek and fast. The tongue top system highlights the snake we used as inspiration for the graphics on the upper.
