The Nike Kobe 11 “Mambacurial” is almost here with a release date slated for September 15th, 2016. The original Mambacurial colorway utilizing those head-turning Pink Flash, Action Green, and Red Plum shades were originally found on the Nike Kobe 8 System inspired by the Nike Mercurial soccer boot. This OG colorway joins a rather long list of other Nike Kobe 11 Mambacurial offerings, as Nike Basketball will also release the eclectic What The Mambacurial Kobe 11 and another pair inspired by Kobe’s love of FC Barcelona.

The Nike Kobe 11 Mambacurial ditches the premium Flyknit construction this time around, instead opting for that breathable Engineered Mesh counterpart. While the pair will be a bit cheaper at $160 USD, the construction and aesthetic is by no means cheap. Nike ditches the forefoot Swoosh placement inspired by Nike soccer wears for a traditional side panel look with Action Green highlighting the branding throughout. The medial side sports that bold ‘Nike’ callout in white while a translucent Action Green outsole contrasts the Pink Flash engineered mesh upper perfectly.

What do you think of the Mambacurial Kobe 11? Check out more detailed shots below and know that you can grab your pair on September 15th for $160 USD. For more of the latest sneakers headed to retailers, be sure to go to our always updated release dates page.

Back in 2007, Nike Sportswear released the Nike Air Huarache “ACG Pack”, an homage to the crossover appeal of another Tinker Hatfield gem, the Nike ACG Air Mowabb. The trio of Nike Huarache pairs utilized premium constructions and colorways found on the original 1992 run of the Mowabb. While we never expected to get a true and through retro of those colorways, if there was any time to do it, it would’ve been last year when the Mowabb finally saw a retro release.

There’s still hope though, and today we get a look at two upcoming Nike Huarache colorways that look an awful lot like they were inspired by the interesting and eclectic Nike ACG aesthetic. A Gold Leaf and Hyper Cobalt combination ditch any hints of tan, but those accents were originally found on the Nike Mowabb. Throw in a perforated toebox and an aggressively speckled grey midsole, and this look reminds us of the All Conditions Grear imprint and then some.

There’s also a Pure Platinum and Pink Blast combination that’s a bit more subtle than the previous selection. Shades of a vibrant yellow contrast on the heel cage while dashes of different greys create a tonal effect throughout. While this might not be the Nike Huarache “ACG Pack” from 2007, it’s great to see that NSW is still tinkering with new ways to make the Nike Air Huarache retro an exciting offering for Fall 2016. Check out more photos below and stay tuned for more updates right here on Sneaker News.
